If you’ve been following along since I moved back to New York, then you know I had a huge debate over which couch to buy. Ultimately, I ended up buying something streamlined and modern with a low back. Because of the way our living room is shaped, the only sensible place for the couch was to float it, meaning you see the back of it quite often and I wanted it to be as unobtrusive as possible.
For whatever reason, I’m never satisfied with my couch choices. I always put comfort over appearance, in part because I have a fiancé and pup who demand it. But now, I’ve fallen hard for a Chesterfield! Clearly a new couch (especially one at these price points) isn’t in the cards anytime soon but a gal can dream…
So, what’s your take? Are they too traditional for your taste or just right?
Of course I’ve already begun hunting around, you know, for when the time is right… Here are a few of my favorite options in case you’re in the market.
I. modern drama’s 1st dibs shop, II. pottery barn, III. ebay find, IV. lief’s 1st dibs shop
p.s. a few more options: lots on ebay, this simple (and on sale!) west elm spin, and a chestnut leather version on wayfair
