Choosing a Comfortable Couch

Who doesn’t love a big, comfy couch? Whether you’re looking for a new sectional, sofa or loveseat, these inviting living room couches will inspire you to cozy up your home’s main living space.

For this transitional living room, designer Caitlin McCarthy chose a greige oversized sectional that’s built for lounging. Large cushions make for comfortable sitting, and the chaise extension is an inviting spot for a nap.

If you dream of incorporating Restoration Hardware’s Cloud Sofa into your living room design but the price doesn’t seem appealing, don’t worry. You can find a design dupe that looks like the ultimate TikTok obsession – for less than half the price.
