HELP US CHOOSE between THESE TWO LIVING ROOM LAYOUTS!

[@karenaddison7385]

I like the two sofa layout. Feels more inviting, intimate…complete. The one sofa set up is fine for smaller spaces. Just my 2cents 😉

[@viviennewright7868]

I agree Karen x

[@danclark-h8t]

Me too!

[@ilovebobsdonuts]

I like the two-sofa layout because both couches directly face natural light. In my parent's home, one of our walls is entirely made of windows. The layout that makes the most sense in their living room is a giant sectional facing the rest of the house instead of the view. I always find myself positioning myself to see the view, though. Also, in your grand living room space, the two couches feels less empty and more complete!

[@tinascanlon3525]

I prefer the 2 sofa layout !! What a fabulous room though !! 😍

[@JovinMyHeart4Eva]

Agreed

[@burnskh2351]

The new furniture pieces are really nice, but in my opinion you should definately go back to the 2 sofa set up to utilize the space better. The current set up could use some side chairs to fill the space better.

[@chloebelle4923]

*I really love your original layout* ~ the space is filled out beautifully and there is far more symmetry. Even though you say that the sectional seems more casual, I find your original layout far more inviting, luxurious and cozy.

[@deeff61]

Your original layout with 2 sofas is BY FAR the better choice. It fills the room proportion and the quality of your own couches and table is so much more luxurious.

[@trikywu]

Love this layout. The sofa is gorgeous. I do prefer the two sofa layout because it completes the space more, and with your big family - it works for all the entertaining and living you do in your home. Gorgeous all the way around. If anything - the doc is going to love this gorgeous piece in his home. I'm so envious. Wish I could have a house of my own.

[@jillsanfacon431]

I absolutely love the sectional and coffee table! However, for your room and entertaining needs I think the two sofa configuration is best.

[@EshiJay]

Definitely the two sofa layout!! So elegant that way 😻

[@elizabethyoung1885]

Definitely the two sofas as more seating plus one faces the beautiful back yard and facing each other creates more intimate conversation with larger groups. Also, you have a sectional in your den.

[@xristinakivasilh]

I love the two sofa layout.. the new layout looks kind small and empty... I would prefer the new layout for a family room.. ❤️

[@beverlynorris557]

I love your original layout. More seating and cozier.

[@ruthramos353]

The old layout fills the room better. It looks very bare with the new sofa. Don’t fix what’s not broken!! Love you guys.

[@debraweiss9734]

My favorite piece of either layout is that FABULOUS glass-topped coffee table, it's a work of art - can't wait to see it in your design for the doctor's home! That said, for your space I definitely prefer the two couch layout, and for all of the reason stated by others, as well as your own logic behind the original design. You already have a comfy setup with a sectional in your delightful family room. I enjoy the differences between your FR and the LR.

[@theresaorr5216]

The 2 sofa encourages games, puzzles and sharing. Definitely that one!

[@bettenotap4791]

I definitely prefer your two sofa layout for conversation with family or with guests. Most people want at least one armrest.

[@LisaAnnFlourishes]

Two sofa layout! It's so inviting, I can imagine all a persons loved ones gathered around. Crackle of wood burning in the fireplace. Talking of new things and old times. I could go on and on.

[@sueyorke1324]

I love your original two sofa setup for a family. The sectional feels more studio like and more suitable for just a couple. Both of course, with your styling, look fabulous.

[@tmr7667]

2 sofas for a conversational appeal. Please create more “would you prefer ?” content. This is a fantastic video.

[@maryjames8145]

I vote for the sofa layout facing each other look 👍!

[@Rick-fv4zh]

Love the 2 sofa layout, the look is more elegant for your space and looks more sophisticated. Also it fills out the big space more to its potential.

[@elizabethbrzezicka2283]

I prefer the two sofa layout. Seems like most of your subscribers do as well. Funnily enough it seems spacious with the two sofas and look chic the way you had it.

[@kathleenparisi283]

I believe when you can't decide, you have definitely nail it with the pieces chosen that all work and compliment each h other. Kathleen

[@johannalopez7113]

I loveeeee the new one

[@cameliafranco4497]

Hi Valentina! I think If it was just you and Jack it will b perfect., it’s gorgeous Looks so serene,, and that Layout is Beautiful and the coffee table breathtaking xoxo it👏👏👏❤

[@bitabonita3713]

Totally gorgeous Valentina. I love it ❤ Feel elegant, charm, spacious, open, beautiful energy… What I also love is that it is facing the fireplace and TV, and there is more space around, with few selected but amazing pieces, so less pieces more quality with personality. The perfect balance.. Congrats my dear 👍🏻❤️

[@cherylkemp548]

I love the original layout. The room is huge and the two sofas facing each other make it cozy.

[@kellyk854]

Love the sofa and layout is beautiful, however I think the original 2 sofa , more formal, arrangement is superior for the entrance of your home.

[@cyndieallen2204]

I love the sectional in your space. It feels more relaxed and it seems to open up the space and makes it feel bigger. In my opinion, it feels less crowded. I personally, don’t decorate my house for entertaining but rather for every day living.

[@darlenechandler2403]

that is what I was thinking. I used to decorate for entertaining and had so much furniture and chairs. I got rid of all of the extra furniture and now live for my needs and self.

[@tiag7906]

Each layout is wonderful. What makes either layout beautiful is that you kept your promise to your nephew, in keeping the tiny game piece next to the CB2 table lamp.

[@martharoberts2861]

I love the sectional layout the best. As always, the space is beautiful, elegant and inviting! Always enjoy watching you and Jack.

[@kristenmorrison7323]

Two sofas! Much more sophisticated and "Valentina!" You already have that cozy sunroom for TV watching... or do you?!?! I think as long as you have that set up you don't need a sectional in this front room. The 2 sofas look so inviting when you walk in the front door and make the space look bigger than the sectional. With the sectional here, the room seems to say, Hey, come chill and let's stare at the fireplace together :)

[@nataliefisher1202]

Well, I am also a designer…retired and know just how you feel. No matter how beautiful our rooms are, we love to see new things all the time. Let me start by saying…love them both…sectional is gorgeous but so are your other two sofas…your first way is more practical for family use without a doubt and also better when you have guests! I feel you definitely need other seating with the sectional and as you pointed out…too tight! You arranged the first grouping because you were thinking of beauty and functionality and that was the right move! Now, I love the round coffee table…will that be big enough between your two sofas? I did notice that with the sectional, it seemed like it was quite far away for guests to reach out and use but if not and it is large enough…I prefer the round one! I also love the herringbone rug better than the one you originally have but you would need a larger size. Other than that, keep what you had…both beautiful but the first arrangement is just as beautiful and fills the space better still leaving a 36 inch walkway!

[@nicelizreu1]

I agree that the first layout worked better, but some tweaks can still give that breath of fresh air they seem to be craving. And I was also wondering if changing out the table would be a helpful move. Plus maybe moving/removing the console table behind the couch? It did seem to make that walkway a bit tight

[@viviennewright7868]

I like your previous set up better. I may be bias as that is what I have here at home. It’s much more cozy too. Love Your content love From Scotland xx

[@lilylab0605]

I like the two sofa layout. It just seemed to fit the space so perfectly.

[@preethamfarrell2358]

I love the 2 sofas, it offers so much versatility - lots of people can gather around and hang out. The original layout too has lots of room to display beautiful coffee table books and decorative objects.

[@beautywithdani8622]

I prefer your two sofa layout because of the additional seating to host friends and family. The expansive seating area also made the room feel larger since it encompassed more of the room versus wasted walkway space. I also love that the space is more welcoming and isn’t closed off when walking through the front door, versus facing the back of the sofa. I want to assure you that y’all already have the cozy family feel with the sectional in the sunroom! The two sofa layout is my favorite for a formal entertaining space! :) Lots of love! Regardless, there is no denying the casterly sectional is gorgeous! Love it!

[@Tru2itt]

Love the company’s website. Thank you for the connection. ✌️

[@bonniegreenfeld5109]

Thanks for this video. We have a similar room, and a family member in a wheelchair. I love the sectional and a round coffee table.

[@michellec6336]

Same. I have to view rooms and design with ADA ideas in mind. But even in homes without a person with this need rooms seem to flow better with this consideration.

[@jenniferstaten]

Tough choice! I see the sectional feels more family oriented, and the two sofas feel accommodating to company. Either way, both are beautifully laid out!

[@azizahkahera30]

Hi Valentina! I love your channel and your design aesthetic. I’m pleased to see how to arrange a room with two different options. Really great information and both are beautiful options. I prefer the two sofas for your space because it makes the room more inviting and honey especially for guest and it reminds me of how entertaining spaces are set up in Morocco and the Far East. Keep up the great work 🤍

[@pkizzi8590]

Love your old setup best; two sofas facing each other. So much more seating.

[@fancycat]

I agree. Also, I do not like the back of the sofa facing the front door.

[@yorkielover1027]

I feel your original layout with two sofas is the best. It makes the most out of your space and is great for entertaining. And your two sofas are gorgeous!

[@carolineJ66]

I love your two sofa set up, it’s perfect for entertaining in a room without a TV.

[@millieluciano3190]

Valentina, I really love this look. I do however love your original with 2 sofas more. You are so gifted with putting things together. I love that you have high end and low end items and help us to live in beautiful spaces.

[@j2o829]

The 2 sofa lay-out is definitely my pick...thanks for sharing!

[@jessicahughes5037]

I love the two sofa layout. The sectional is beautiful but the two sofa layout just look more elegant in my opinion and as you said, there’s more room for entertainment.

[@leticiavillarreal3689]

At first I loved the two sofas facing each other layout so you can see out the gorgeous windows but then you showed us the sectional with a chaise, that’s my favorite layout! Instantly it feels cozier with more space around it. I noticed how I like the negative space that isn’t filled so you can enjoy the pieces that fill the space.

[@michellec6336]

Yes! The negative space is so nice! Allows the room to breathe more. The 2 couches looked too heavy and awkward to get to for sitting.

[@michellec577]

Also I discovered thru other KZbin channels that there are lightbulbs that run on remote which you can purchase on Amazon where you don’t need a plug. Hope that helps for future placement of lamps that don’t have plugs nearby.

[@UrbanNomadLife]

I prefer this layout! I agree it looks gorgeous. 🤗 It complements the space and the decorative elements more than the former.

[@rachelledellinger174]

Hi Valentina! Both layouts are so beautiful! However, for some reason I love the two sofa layout. It is stylish yet cozy. It also seems to make the space seem bigger, at least on camera. Thanks for another great video😃

[@lolasalesmoore236]

The two sofas my favorite, I love to style the conversation style.. blessings!

[@inezbuethe7684]

I like both layouts. I like the layout with the two couches, as my number one choice.

[@margaretames6522]

I like the way new layout looks. Do you need all of the extra seating (facing sofas) - maybe during the colder months when you entertain inside?

[@patwatson6370]

I love the sectional

[@Godisloven09]

Love the 2 sofas. But I actually have a sofa chaise from West Elm. 2 sofas wouldn’t fit in my space. I think it all depends on what your focal point and how the room will be used.

[@ada4030]

The upholstery looks soft and cozy. Will be fun to see how you style it for the doctor. His kitchen and breakfast nook were great.

[@stefaniesancho5711]

The sectional and coffee table are fabulous, but it’s definitely the two sofa layout for me. It’s simply divine, anchors the space better, and offers more seating for guests, as well as more space for coffee table decor😎

[@sandyhopper6619]

Your original layout is my favorite. I do agree with you that the Doctor’s new sectional is beautiful.

[@tessat3483]

I love how you can see the rich blown floor, with the one couch. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@paigealise4202]

I prefer the 2 sofa layout but that glass coffee table is GORGEOUSSSS !

[@marcelladominguez8787]

I like the two sofa layout the best, it’s more cozy and inviting for conversation. The glass table is gorgeous!

[@lynn-ut4xl]

Love the 2 sofa layout. Thank YOU for showing us the difference!!!!! You have such a lovely way of showing me things I could 'never' understand about my places. Hope that you are having F-U-N on your trip!!!!

[@maryanncarmody5646]

The two sofa setup has my vote, for functionality as well as the way it looks and feels. Love it!

[@julielinger4470]

Bring the two gorgeous sofas back.that layout was perfection.❤️

[@carolgroff20]

I love love love the two sofas facing each other. Much more of a designer look.You had the right idea!

[@janetbof4]

I love your original w/ 2 sofas, it is elegant yet comfy. Honestly, it’s stunning & still inviting.

[@maddynavarro77]

I love the layout you have now, it's more cozy. ☺️♥️

[@mariel7964]

2 sofas, but I fell in love with your black leather sofa you had a while back...Have a blessed Sunday everyone

[@j.c.1826]

Love the sectional look. It makes the space look more open and lighter. But the two sofas def. work better for your life. And I like that look too.

[@lotsofcurls1000]

2 sofas for sure! Much more warm and inviting.

[@Elizabeth-nn3fd]

I too am a professional designer. Your videos are always great. I vote for the two sofas. It fills the space beautifully.

[@guenetgirma8941]

Interesting. I was wondering how to set up my livingroom. I am learning a lot and now I know how I should layout and put my L shaped sofa with having enough space to breath and walk around. I also liked the glass table. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@absj1204]

I love the 2 sofas. It’s definitely the setup that says “come sit and have a coffee or cocktail and let’s catch up”

[@tarahgilliam1115]

It looks so much better the way you had it before it was absolutely gorgeous. Your living room is so large and Grand that it looks better with the two sofas facing one another. By the way I think your whole house is gorgeous love your style

[@katrinabergfineart]

Both layouts are stunning & so functional too! Isn't it funny how we really do design around our family's use but also consider how we will fit guests & family?! -- it's almost like you have to design 2 rooms! I think the new set up sounds absolutely perfect for your family & as you talk, it does sound like they are the priority & you can bring in chairs/ottomans in when you need more seating...and you have that extra seating at your dining table & that cozy nook off of your dining. I'm excited to hear what you decide to do! I rely heavily on our dining table when guests come during the Winter/colder months. We have a big family with 5 kids so your original layout has been super inspiring for me...I think I'll do something similar when we redo our living room. And I loved your thoughts about the round table next to the chaise. So many great things to hear you talk through. Thanks for this fun video & looking forward to seeing it all in the Dr.'s new space! Happy weekend! ☀️

[@JulieNichols]

Definitely, the two sofa layout since you already have a sectional in your beautiful family room.

[@maryanngiakoumatos8498]

I really love both of the set ups. So fun to try a new layout. The 2 couches for your family is my favorite! Dr P. will be thrilled with what you selected.🙂

[@hmacm3588]

Love the sectional, however, I think in your space the two sofa layout is better. If you like to entertain a lot, the sofas would allow better conversation and seating. We actually chose two sofas and arranged them perpendicular to each other, much like a sectional, but with open space to move in between. The sectional seems small and better suited to a family room with a tv as the focal point. Your taste is amazing! I’m sure whatever you decide it will be beautiful 🥰

[@mistyl1135]

My vote is the before, I definitely like the 2 sofas with your clean-lined marble top coffee table. Just my opinion. Hope you guys are having a wonderful vacation!

[@CarmeninSD1103]

The two sofa layout is my favorite. Love that glass table though. 😍

[@irizarryjuliana5765]

I love your 2 sofa layout. I love it so much that I bought the sofas and they are coming in this Tuesday!! Love your style!!🥰

[@sha-toinaswint2152]

They are both beautiful and I am actually searching for a sectional for our family room but I have to say I adore your original design layout the best. 🌸💗

[@themantelpiece]

You need to do what’s best for your family. Thank you for this video as I’m deciding this right now for an addition and this was so helpful! I was stuck. There are six of us and I now see I prefer the sofas facing each other. We can sit and see each other for a conversation, and one sofa can really see the beautiful view. There are more options on where I can be looking.

[@dianedemaria7833]

Love, love the two sofa layout. Looks much more elegant and inviting.

[@kittyelenbaas4088]

The two sofa for sure! The sectional is nice but so very usual.

[@pamela3213]

I love this sectional for my home. I've been looking for some time esp the colour. However, for your home the two sofas just Work 🤎 I've been keeping up with your family trip to Copenhagen & your Beautiful Smile says it all! Safe Travels & enjoy every moment 💫

[@conuregirl007]

I like the two sofa layout. I like how it fills out the room spaces.

[@PattyKollias]

I'm going to play Goldilocks here...I like both, but feel like the two couches can seem a bit crowded, while the chaise sofa doesn't provide enough seating for entertaining needs. A compromise of the Adams sofa without a chaise and two accent chairs on either side facing each other might be just right!

[@LaJessChelle]

Yes!

[@nancyd3378]

Love, love, love the original layout - by far the best for entertaining , and for family use - just gorgeous!!!

[@bobbi3922]

Hi Valentina , First off wanted to let you know how much I enjoy watching you with all your happy energy! I am obsessed with decor and sometimes catch myself moving things around because of beautification versus functionality . Gotta take a step back and rethink it . I love the two sofas and large coffee table much better! More inviting , fills up your space with out looking cluttered. I would bring back you ikea console white piece behind the first sofa with just your lighting ,some books, and some decor object .nothing near the staircase ( for clear path) except maybe some art on the wall . Also your fireplace really needs a pop like a tall gold or white framed mirror . And across on the opposite far wall of fireplace one big piece of art to balance.although beautiful , edit the restoration hardware table… The simpler the better. Sorry for so much info you asked😂

[@AsiraBettas]

I love the combo with the glass table, feels lighter, with two couches it feels stuffed.

[@accountingservices3782]

Two-sofa layout is stunning 💓 and my absolute favourite!

[@myeyes9574]

I love the original layout. That Cupid coffee table from castlery is beautiful. I’ve had it in my cart for a long time. Contemplating getting it . Thank you for confirming my decision. Lol wonderful video 🙌🏾👏🏾💪🏾

[@natasjal7277]

I love the two sofa layout. Is more inviting and intimate.

[@BobbiMac08]

I'm an odd one out who loves the sectional. I think it's more "homey" and gives more room to move around the furniture. That being said, the 2 couches are ideal when you host/entertain so much.

[@nadiajones3257]

I'm with you. Both layouts are great but one couch looks cleaner and more esthetically pleasing to me, personally. It also makes the room look bigger and more airy. I would prefer to see that when I come out of my bedroom. But it'll all come down to functionality: how often guests visit or a lot of people sit on it.

[@janwood5585]

Look number two! More airy, less stuff filling the space. You can enjoy the fiireplace without having to turn your head sideways. And you can add side chairs for more seating if you want.

[@patriciaflores2776]

I vote for 2 sofa layout gorgeous couches..BUT Adams sec.color& glass table are too love this video thanks Valentina!🌞

[@leticiavillarreal3689]

Love this video. Could you do a similar one with a one entry type living room. Mine is off to the side of the house with a fireplace that faces the entryway and I’m moving my furniture around to see if we want to face the fireplace and block the entry way or have the seating on the sides to leave a walkway into the space. Hmmm 🤔

[@ruthmontecer5542]

For a big family and like you said more options I like the two sofas. And you can sit and look out to the scenery which is huge advantage.

[@judithparpal5191]

Love the video concept! I like the 2 sofa setup and with that said, I would like to see a video about how you have been changing the 2 sofa layout over time (I believe you had a black sofa once)
