| Gretchen enjoying the Threshold pouf |
Since John and I moved into our new place together, I knew that I wanted to start hosting dinners and parties for friends. But that meant plenty of seating. I'm sort of a design novice, but I'm learning and getting inspired. So what kinds of pieces should I be looking for?
For myself, I know that a good sofa and armchair are musts. But what about floor seating? Personally, when I'm at friends' apartments, I love when they have cushions or great carpet, because I prefer to sit on the floor. When watching movies, writing, blogging, whatever!
I had purchased four of the fun and colorful Urban Outfitter floor pillows (I plan on buying more - they just stack so easily!). Next, I wanted to get a pouf or two. Normally, poufs are so uncomfortably to me. Hard as a rock or completely unstable. Who wants to sit on fabric that feels like wood?
But shockingly, I found one that is perfect. And it's actually affordable! Right now, Target has an amazing array of poufs, and I highly recommend the Threshold pouf. The one I purchased (see above; my Mini Dachshund is a big fan) is soft and wide and - above all - comfortable. And now they're on sale!
You just can't have enough places for people to sit. And I may just have to claim this new pouf as my forever spot.
I don't know your situation, but I love to crash on my friend's big ol' sectional when we're having Sunday Funday. I also quite like the idea of a transitional upholstered piece that can double as coffee table and extra seating. http://cdn.homedit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/zebra-rug-ottoman-leather-like-table.jpg and http://cdn.decorpad.com/photos/2013/10/19/5e593265c3f6.jpeg
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the reasons I wanted to get some poufs! They make really great foot rests for when other people aren't here.
DeleteWe have a sofa/chaise in the guest room, which is GREAT. Pieces that can have multiple functions is so great. And I LOVE that cream upholstered "coffee table"! I've seen that before, and it's so great!
