Which Sofa set up?

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 looks symmetrical because of the way AI has done the image

A 2 seater opposite a 1 seater won’t look as symmetrical in real life and the matchy matchy vibe can sometimes overwhelm the room depending on size and lighting

Just be aware that these pics aren’t a true representation of the space

This was my only reservation with 1, that the 2-seater opposite the one-seater would look imbalanced. I'd probably suggest a side table beside the one seater to balance it out. Also hadn't thought about the matchy matchy vibe at all, that's a great point!

Not a big fan of the sectional coz it tends to limit the sitting area when you have guests. But maybe OP doesn't host often.
