I need help making this space nicer. We bought these recliner couches after trying out sooo many couches. At the end I had decision fatigue and I wanted to go home. They look like 1st class airplane seats. Well I imagine. They are soo comfortable but honestly kind of ugly and bulky. Haha. It’s a love hate relationship.
Anyway, here’s the space we are working with. Keep in mind we are renting and recliners have to have space behind them to not hit the wall. I mean more toward earthy tones so anyway to incorporate that into the dreaded millennial gray would be ideal.

Artwork on the wall opposite the window, a decently sized rug and some plants would be good to make the room feel more inviting. Plus yes, the first thing I thought of was airplane seats, although I understand why you bought the couches if they’re super comfortable. I’d buy a really large throwover/blanket for each one to make them look more cosy and inviting.
Is it too late to return them? Because if you can, you should.
I would return them. And get regular wall away reclining furniture
Assuming you can’t return them, get a big colorful rug, tie in the colours with wall art and with throw pillows and blanket on the couch – i assume you will mainly use one and the other will be for guests, so you can have pillows and a blanket on the spare.
For some reason my brain is saying “orange” for the fun colour, but a nice green would be good too. Just dont get anything that could read as sterile or institutional or airplane adjacent, which rules out blue and red.
I would also ask for a refund on the floor fitting. It has been placed wrong and looks like teeth.
The sofas are beyond saving. I would push for a refund and make sure in the future to be in the mood for shopping for something that can make or break your living room. 😂
I would cry going in there seeing those and think my hatred would grow daily. You deserve nice sofas ☺️
Burn them.
You need a wider tv stand and I would get a rug and new coffee table- something not rectangle. And art and plants will help. Also curtains.
I have been trying to find a couch for like two years that is both cute and comfortable and so far haven’t seen one lol. If you are keeping them, are there slipcovers that would work? Big cute rug, put up art on the walls, etc
I understand how they don’t fit in the style of the other items you have, but I love these! I would lean so hard into making this room feel like a 70s first class interior. If you love how they feel and can’t return or exchange them perhaps look into some covers
They look like cat seats or like you said airplane seats. So out of place. So terrible. I’m sorry.
You mean you purchased airline seats. 💺
