The Pied-à-Terre

THE IDEA BEHIND THE LOOK

A considered city sitting room

The 76.5-inch Waverly sofa starts this smaller apartment arrangement. Stefano’s green chair, a narrow black oval coffee table and a clear acrylic side table keep the individual shapes easy to read. A five-foot-wide wool-and-jute rug defines the sitting area. Tape out each selected footprint before translating the arrangement into a real room.

Start with the selected sofa and chair dimensions, then mark the exact rug and table footprints in your own room.

Put it together

1. 01

   Compare the original Amazon photos and the selected variants. Measure the furniture, delivery route and walking space.

2. 02

   Place the rug and tables around the seating. Check the lamp base and shade have room, and keep its cord clear of the walking route.

3. 03

   Add one filled cushion, one throw and one empty vase. Keep anything you already own by unchecking it in the shopping list.
