spoiler alert: it’s comfy.

When we first decided to turn the extra bedroom upstairs into a more casual lounge perfect for movie nights, I knew we needed to find a better sofa for the space. Our previous sectional wasn’t as comfy as I wanted it to be and the size just wasn’t quite right for the size and shape of the room.

ENTER SIXPENNY

Truth be told, I’ve been coveting a Sixpenny ANYTHING for a few years now. I could always tell that their seating is gloriously comfortable and, well, it’s obviously beautiful too. I’m so grateful to say that with this new, larger space I was finally able to work with them on finding the perfect seating for a comfy lounge!

I love all of the slip-covered options they offer — the styles range from very relaxed to more modern, depending on your style preferences. For me, it was all about the Aria seating line. I love the marrying of modern and relaxed that the Aria showcases so beautifully.

We went with the Aria Short L-Shape Sectional and opted for the Medium Weight Linen in Warm Oatmeal. The fabric is so luxurious and has only gotten softer with use. Of course, having a light-colored couch as a cat parent and wine lover is always nerve-wracking. However, the slip-covered design puts me at ease. Luckily, we haven’t had any major spills yet, but when we do, knowing I can remove the covers to be washed makes me feel SO much better about going with the off-white fabric color.

Our sectional is also fully modular, meaning we can switch up the orientation depending on our future needs. Another huge win for us NYC renters that may move around more often and need flexible seatting.

Really, I’m just so happy to have my first sink-in-able sofa that still holds its shape and looks beautiful. many a movie night has already gone down while laying on this beautiful sectional and there will be many more to come. Thank you, Sixpenny!

We recently replaced our sofa (expect a post to come soon on that refresh) , and it led to me going down the sofa rabbit hole! Since I spent too much time looking at options online for us, I thought I would pass along a few pretty ones I spotted , as well as share the few we’ve had here in our home.

1. Our old sofa. I cannot tell you how many comments I got on this sofa. The shape! The color! We ultimately decided we needed to find a more comfortable solution, but we’re holding onto it for now, because it’s so hard to let go of.

2. The lines and color of this sofa speak to me. Another goodie from Urban Outfitters Home.

3. I’m thinking we need a mustard couch next time around. Am I crazy for already talking about our next sofa when we just got our new one?! The answer is a resounding, YES.

4. The Sven sofa from Article is an iconic at this point. I absolutely love it in this jewel tone.

5. People always forget to check Amazon for decor needs! The lines on this sofa are SO good.

6. Another stunner from Amazon. Love the chunky look and this one comes in a bunch of different colors!

7. Another sofa with beautiful lines. I can see this one in a more formal sitting room.

8. We got this sofa in one of its sectional iterations (and in off-white linen) and OMG it’s incredible. So comfy and stylish at the same time.

9. Last, but certainly not least, another pretty option from Interior Define. I love the modular look here.

There you have it, folks!
