I like them but always thought they where more suited to bedrooms.
I like Tom Dixon stuff alot I really want a wingback chair but they are a bit pricey. Has anyone seen the micro wingback in the flesh?

I often think that the main light in a living room/dining room is more for show than practicality. As Dee has said get some wall lamps, floor lamps, table lamps

Everyone banging on about how great the room looks - all you can see is two chairs, a blob and a window you've lost the fucking plot. Looks like a dentist's waiting room to me.

Do you have an example of this setup?

Really not into feature walls at all

Have a look at BTC wall lighting, you can get lots of them with a cord to plug in which will save you digging out the plaster and having to repaint. Or as you say go for floor or table lamps

Anyone got the mags soft sofa, considering one in velvet, any quality issues long term?

Finally got round to buying a Robin Day recliner last week. They never go on sale but picked up an ex display one at a reasonable discount.

@Pops & Dee. I don’t have a mags but have a couple of hackneys in different fabrics. The velvet fabrics are nice but mark easily, hallingdal will be much harder wearing although quite coarse. I went for forest nap (unsure if they still do it) hard wearing but much less coarse than hallingdal. The mags soft is very low with very little structure, similar to a bean bag

Thanks Sydney & Diederik.

I had my Robin day sofa recovered in Hallingdal 7 years ago and it does lose its ‘courseness ‘ over time. Velvet is lovely Dee but no way could I have that with my 3 kids constantly wiping their hands etc on it
