To get rid of some chairs, they’re everywhere.

[FTEngineerM]

Could I possibly have some opinions please?

Me, DP, one DC and a large dog. Open plan type downstairs where it’s essentially all one room except a downstairs bathroom (obvs, that would be weird). We have so many fucking chairs, DP is loathed to get rid of some but I feel like I have chairs coming out of my ears, they’re multiplying argh.

We have 1 x 3 seater sofa, 1 x 2 seater sofa, 1 x armchair and 6 bloody dining chairs at the table ALL IN ONE ROOM.

I’ve been gagging to sell/donate/tip the 2 seater and arm chair but DP is putting up quite a fight.

Two dining chairs can go in the loft. The others could be used if we have lots of guests one day.
Pre covid we only ever really had either my DF and partner or PIL, never together. There’s always someone making a coffee or snack if visitors are here anyway.

Will I regret it? Has anyone else made their living room more streamline and regretted it?

Do it, OP. We (4 of us) have just gone from 5 seater L shaped sofa plus armchair, plus four dining chairs and a bench at the dining table, to 2 x 2 seater sofas and four new dining chairs. We have just had our kitchen done and have a new breakfast bar so have gained two bar stools. DH wants an armchair in the kitchen/diner but I am holding firm at the moment.

You quite often have 5 of you there, and DC will need a chair soon. Maybe get rid of the armchair.

I don't like excessive furniture. I'd get rid of either the armchair or 2 seater and stick a couple of dining chairs in the loft.

I think keep as many chairs in storage as you can - getting rid of the 3 dining chairs towards the centre of the room would free up some space nicely, just bring them out for special occasion.

Considering there’s only 3 of you and a dog, you have too much sofa space

We have the same plus 4 bar stools and a window seat 😂

It’s a bit ridiculous I suppose but it’s a big room and they all get used!
