I recently bought my first house. It's a genuine midcentury modern house, built in the 50s. But now I have to actually furnish the place. I'm going to be looking everywhere (from modern furniture retailers like Design Within Reach, Joybird, AllModern etc.) to thrift shops, to Etsy and beyond. I'll probably have a mix of modern and MCM styles.
But, one thing I've noticed is that as stunning as much mid century modern (and MCM-inspired) furniture is, much of it also looks... not very comfortable. For example, I inherited a tulip table + chairs set with the house. They look amazing. But, I certainly wouldn't have an extended 2 hour meal with friends in one of those chairs. My lower back hurts just thinking about it.
Right now, I'm focused on the living room -- sofa or sectional, accent chairs, lounge chairs. I'm hoping to take some inspiration from y'all. So, if you'd be so kind, show me pictures of your living room seating that is genuinely comfortable. Like, binge-watching-Netflix-all-day comfortable. And, yes, I know this is a very subjective question.
