The construction is nearly finished on Mary’s new addition to her home. Great in size and in function, this room will serve as her office, a place for entertaining, and for relaxation.

All the furniture chosen for this room is over-sized. And yet, as you can see from the photo above, because the room is so large, the furniture appears to be appropriate. The club chairs are big enough to curl up in, at over 50″ wide. Perfect for reading with a granddaughter. The pair of ottomans are equally large. There is both a sofa and a love seat. The executive desk and hutch would suit Donald Trump. Mary can run her empire equally as well.

Consider scale when purchasing furniture. This arrangement would work in a room half as large if the dimensions of the individual pieces of furniture were sized down as well. Petite slipper chairs and a love seat would be an option, or search for what many manufactures call their ‘apartment collection’ for sofas under 80 inches.
