Raymour & Flanigan Furniture
Home sweet home!
The past couple months have been a bit crazy. From Maine to Upstate New York to Guyana back Upstate.. its been about 2 months of nonstop travel so it feels so good to be home!

At the end of the summer, we finally decided it was time to tackle our bare living room. Raymour & Flanigan kindly let me pick out some furniture pieces and I fell in love with this deep blue sofa set.
I ordered it sight unseen online so I was so happy with how they turned out! The quality and experience have been fantastic.

Diana Accent Chair
We chose 3 pieces from the same collection. I love how they’re not too matchy-matchy but all compliment each other so well.
The accent chair is my favorite piece. It’s made in this gorgeous, slightly metallic diamond printed fabric that looks good from every angle.
The gold hardware on the legs and back make the piece so stunning from every angle – so you’re not restricted to place it against a wall! For now, we’ve got it at an angle facing the rest of the living room so you can really see the back hardware nicely.

Diana Chaise
I knew I wanted the chaise, since we finally have enough space to fit one. While they may not get as much use as the sofa, I think they’re absolutely gorgeous.
The deep indigo fabric has such a distinctive look that photographs so well, and I love the nailhead trim – it really adds a beautiful accent! The seat is a button tufted polyester that looks like velvet but is much more maintenance friendly.
Everything arrived via white glove, so the delivery men helped us set the pieces right away. I think they were in and out in less than 30 minutes! Anytime I don’t have to assemble furniture and puzzle out directions is incredible, so I’m really grateful for the delivery aspect. If the items had come un-assembled in boxes, I probably wouldn’t be writing this post because they’d be… still in their boxes, ha.

Diana Sofa
And last but not least, the sofa!
I was pleasantly surprised to see that it came with a ton of accent pillows, which make decorating a breeze. I wasn’t expecting the set to be a “sleep and slouch” type of sofa – I really wanted something a little more elevated even if it meant it would be uncomfortable.
But, luckily, the sofa is great to sit on, watch tv, read a book.. it’s even deep enough to sleep on! The tufted fabric is really plush and even better, it’s stain resistant! We’re always spilling something so I like that it’s tough enough to hold up to everyday, actual use.

Next week we leave for Argentina and are spending a month in Antarctica, so it was so nice to get the living room furnished before we leave.
The room is still a work in progress…I think I need some art and small decorative items to fill it out entirely, but I’ve been obsessed with it so far and have been just sitting in it every morning while I have my coffee. I’m so happy everything came together so beautifully and so quickly!
All sofa pieces are from this collection here. The cowhide rug is available here and the ivory hexagon rug from here.

Hi Sher,
I’m considering getting some pieces from this collection, but wanted to get your take on how the sofa has held up? Would you still recommend it?
Author
Hi Viral – Yes, we love it! We have it in our living room so its not our “tv watching” couch but is quite comfy and still looks good as new :)
Thanks for the reply!
Can you also share where you got the rug from? The hexagon pattern really goes well with the accent chair.
Author
Hi Viral – sorry for the late reply. I had to look up where we got it from! It’s this rug.
We really love it, but the hexagon pattern does vary from rug to rug. We ordered a second because we liked the first so much, and the second hexagon pattern is much lighter. So just know that the rugs will vary a little
Awesome! Appreciate the reply and the link! I’ll make sure to take a look.
