Reject the Set!!

Have you ever noticed that the *gasp* worthy living rooms or family rooms featured in magazines do NOT have a matching set of sofa/loveseat/chair?  Most typically, they have a beautiful sofa and other complimentary seating. I wasn't able to completely put my finger on it until I read a post by the Decorologist, and then it was crystal clear and I just HAD to share it with you!

Sometimes there are two matching sofas that face each other, with additional seating to the sides.

And I LOVE this - sometimes, if the room is large enough, the sofas are placed "back to back" to create two mirror seating areas.

Or, how about one statement sofa!

Or no sofa at all!!

What so you think?
