Josh Lyman posted:Yeah a throw pillow would be used for napping. Unless... Is it something you'd seriously consider? Because you don't seem especially passionate about the modernist couches you've been looking at, so are you really looking at what you want or just what you like that falls within the parameters of what's popular and stylish now? If you're mostly using the space as a theater then prioritizing comfort is pretty sensible. Maybe you should get the dad couch, and then get an MCM media consul for the modernist element.

Because you don't seem especially passionate about the modernist couches you've been looking at, so are you really looking at what you want or just what you like that falls within the parameters of what's popular and stylish now?  This one I posted this morning, I'm meh on the color and I won't know if Inside Weather even makes a color I like until I get swatches, but everything else is good including the $1048 price. One potential hiccup is they use an "arciform slat suspension", not springs, but if that means it's firmer and sags less over time then I'd actually prefer it. My memory foam mattress is on a slatted bed and I like it.  The dad couch is $1650 and would definitely prevent the butt chaffing I experienced during last night's extended media consumption/nap session, but it's more of a safety net in case I can't find a modernist that has decent reviews and all my design elements.

What is your budget? What width do you want? Do you prefer a sectional, recliner or sofa?

actionjackson posted:What is your budget? What width do you want? Do you prefer a sectional, recliner or sofa? 85-90" is the sweet spot. I can't go under 78" because I'm 6'1, and I could reasonably go up to 100". Ideal would be sofa + ottoman so I can lounge facing forward but move it out of the way to look pretty. Sectional is fine but I’d still want an ottoman so I don’t have to lounge off-center, in which case it’s just needlessly more expensive plus the coffee table would be off-center. A recliner is okay but only if the middle seat reclines for lounging. Whenever I’m watching TV, I immediately put my feet up which right now means the coffee table. 2 cushions are a no go due to off-center listening/watching, as are T cushions since I can't rotate the middle cushion.

Josh Lyman posted:$1000 would be great, $1500 is fine, $2000 is a stretch but doable if everything about the couch is just right. Since this is for heavy use you may also want to consider stain resistance and how it'll look in 5 years. A monochrome white or pale grey fabric can look dingy pretty fast, especially if you like to sit on the couch while you drink coffee, red wine, or eat cheetos. Grandma couchs always had busy patterns because grandma knows her poo poo.

Wood block floors like that were used in a lot of industrial buildings because they were easy on the feet. I always thought they’d be cool in a home. The blocks are thick, though, otherwise they’d check, so you have to have a space really designed for it.

nielsm posted:I looked at all these photos and I'm not sure what Prairie-style means. Low-angle roof? prairie school style is a particular architectural movement which sprung up in chicago in the late 19th and early 20th century. the most famous name associated with this school is frank lloyd wright. most of the houses i posted are extremely not anything close to prairie style. look on listing sites around chicago for lots of examples of the form, or anywhere else for bad derivatives. from this style through "usonian", this stuff is a major precursor to the whole midcentury modern aesthetic basically when you're looking for prairie influence you want big windows, integrating nature with the inside of the house (looking at it with big windows), caring about naturalistic landscaping, a huuuuuge focus on horizontal everything, and cleaner ornamentation (though not lack of ornamentation, FLW particularly put a lot of fiddly details in his designs). also big emphasis on open floor plans - prairie style is one of the transitional points where the concept of the ranch house begins to take root as an american housing form for a century+ old style, a lot of these buildings look shockingly contemporary e: of the ones i posted, houses #2, 6, and 8 are prairie-ish. #2 has some prairie elements but it's a pretty conservative take. #6 looks more like a watered down MCM version, like yeah there's whiffs of prairie there i guess. #8 is the most arguable but it also has those big curved lines that make it some kind of weird fusion style ike a prairie-cottage or something the last home is laughable, there's nothing about it at all that is prairie, it's just a florida cocaine palace Mr. Fall Down Terror fucked around with this message at 14:14 on May 13, 2020 |

I own a red leather modern take on a chesterfield with ottoman and it's the comfiest couch, but it's from a European brand and I got it from an interior design firm clearing things out on craigslist. Only complaint is it's not really wide enough for two people to snuggle, but it's a trade-off since it fits through a lot of doors. It probably retailed for 5k+ and I paid 1200 It's built so well and the leather is finally starting to need some refinishing after 10 years. If you have any cats I recommend not leather. My old dog did a DEEP scratch in the seat cushion when zooming around, which forced me to keep a cover over it for a lot of its life. Now I have one dog who's pretty chill so it stays uncovered, but will never own a cat because furniture (and allergies). Any good furniture will also be much more worth it to reupholster down the road. Go look at expensive, well made stuff so you know what to look for when going down market.

One thing I’ve noticed is that most media consoles lack large enough compartments for a receiver or video game console, most of them close up completely so you can’t use a remote, and almost none allow for ventilation through the rear.
