I’m saying goodbye to the vintage leather couch and hello comfortable modern sofas for the living room. Apparently, we live like savages and have completely ruined that old couch. A living room makeover is in order because there are now 2 gigantic holes in the center cushion where my daughter likes to dig in her Barbie heels, it’s uncomfortable AF, and my son carved words and lines on the backing because it was “fun”, oh and the cushions are just plain old shlumpy.
Mr. Beautiful Vintage Sofa, you were pretty to look at, but I’m over you. A quest for the perfect TV watching sofa, affordable sofa, modern sofa…leaning towards ivory sofa (cuz the kids won’t wreak havoc on that…ha right) has begun. I’ve scoured the ends of the interwebs to bring you 16 modern sofas I’d love to own in my living room.
Buying a couch is so not my favorite thing to do. To be honest, I’d much rather decorate around it or buy a pretty chair. And if I had it my way, I’d just buy another Caitlyn sofa and be done with it.
The truth of the matter is, a sofa is a hard-working cornerstone. Besides a rug, it will be one of the largest pieces in your space. Because I love you, I’ve rounded up 16 modern sofas…most are affordable, but yes a few others…well, I’ll have to save my pennies. But nothing is completely out of reach.
16 Modern Sofas Perfect For Watching TV
Lately, I’m digging the boxier, comfy-looking sofas over mid-century modern, but I’m still riding that clean line path. For the most part, they all have a classic look. (I mean, come on, how timeless is a Chesterfield?)
Almost everything I was drawn to was ivory or cream. The green velvet Chesterfield below comes in ivory as well, although, I’m oddly drawn to that emerald green.
Have you found any affordable sofas? Have any I’ve overlooked. Bring ’em on in the comment section below. I’d love to hear what you’ve discovered.

Go with the green! We have a green sofa that shows no wear and tear after 3 dogs and 3 kids. I get compliments all the time about that sofa and it resembles the Roger & Chris sofa. Oh, and its 20 years old. Miracle sofa!
The green is soooooooo pretty! And I’m jealous of yours 🙂
Also try Anthropology! The Cotswold is gorgeous
I have pottery barn chesterfield, I have 2 and it’s an awful sofa cushions went flat within 6 months and it’s very uncomfortable. I regret the purchase not with the money can’t wait to get a much nicer and more comfortable sofa.
