This or That {interior design}

September 17, 2011

I’ve been trying to decide what style sofa I want for my living room…..modern square arm or English roll arm.

    I like "that"… English roll arm! Love that look, and those legs are awesome 🙂

    I agree. I love the English roll arm and the legs. But I don't think you could go wrong with either.

    I say the english roll arm too! It's a very versatile sofa that can also be made more modern with some contempoary, graphic pillows added in! 🙂 Good luck- they both are beautiful! 🙂

    Hi Desiree, Oh yes, THAT for sure. Love the English roll arm and those gorgeous legs. This is the sofa that would work in just about any type of decor. Very versatile. Thanks for following me, I'm following you back!

    Can't go wrong with either. Our Hamptons home is modern, so I have more modern furnishings, yet it is infused with some traditional elements for a nice juxtaposition. Our Westchester residence has more of the roll arm look. Love them both. It isn't which sofa, it is how you pull the room together. What are the other elements like? Wallcovering, side chairs, ottomans, accent pieces, etc. You've got great taste! Can't wait to see what you decide and what you do with your "this" or "that" sofa. XOXO.

    Well….so much depends on the rest of the room but my fave has always been the English roll arm, just such a classic and if you want to make it more casual or funky you can change up the fabric. Good luck!

    Both gorgeous! I would choose the second simply because I have had the first style for years and am ready for a change!
