Back to back.

I always think that a large sitting room can almost always benefit from using the ol' back to back sofa trick.  


It works particularly well when there is more than one entrance to the room, which a larger sitting room generally has! I wouldn't go doubling up willy nilly, as the proportion has to be right, but when it it works ........then whammy! 
I love this room. It has my aesthetic to heart. Old and new, sisal matting, blue, pattern, block prints, large lamps, more blue and a touch of red. The seating works for several groups to be in the room and all have their own little spot. 
And shall we talk about those large acorns in the corner...?

I have a friend who has back to back couches and I love that room, it creates such ambiance in a large setting.
Smaller groups create more intimacy. Those acorns are wonderful....look like felt?

What a great room! I think the back-to-back sofa layout is genius - often furniture looks like it is floating in a large room but instead of anchored. And the accessorizing is beautiful, too. Have a great weekend, Cynthia

Yes especially when there are two outlooks or entrances! Fantastic!
