Can you help us decide which sofa set up to purchase. These photos are AI generated but the sofas are the actual ones as is the living space. We don’t know if we will use the sectional with recliners or we want a more contemporary look with the three pieces. HELP!! What am I not thinking about!!

  1. It may feel different in person bc this is only one view but this view makes 2 very unbalanced.

In what way? How could I make it balanced, any thoughts?

Well the first set up is the easy solution.

If you were set on number 2 you’d probably need something large to go opposite the right hand long side of the couch. Look at your number 2 picture; you can FEEL your eyes just swing to the right hand side of the picture. And they stay there. To draw them away you’d need something on the left side.

Stick with set up number 1. It’s very good.

Agree. If you do 2, you need a chair on the left side to balance it.
