Thank-you both for your input! I think I'm tossing up between putting the chairs in the nook or against the long wall. If chairs go in the nook, it's cosy and there's more walkway space as you said, Luke, for beanbags etc. However, what would I do with the 2m wall near the entrance? Would seating there be a bit odd? However having the screen in the nook would allow for a longer row of seating I think? So potentially more people could fit in, although those sitting near the door may have an obscure view of the screen. It seems like both options have pros & cons! We don't have anything that needs to go in, so to speak, although plenty of seating options and tables for drinks etc would be really great!

From what you have said, I think smaller separate pieces such as couch and chair(s) rather than a large sectional is likely to work better in the space and still allow for traffic flow. However, if you still have lots to do then don't rush to make large purchases. In the meantime, if your current sectional looks better pulled away from the wall a bit, then perhaps you could rotate the side table so that the long side runs parallel with the sofa arm instead of the wall. Would that help to stop it blocking the doorway and resolve the 'not quite right' placement?

Hi again not sure what your budget is but these cushions are lovely great colour range and textures the brand is eadie just google them send you some pics of mine the others found in opp shops and put feather inserts in them love cushions

We don’t have this, but we chose fixed cushions in a Natuzzi lounge some years ago; we got sick of the cushions constantly having to be fixed in our old lounge; the down-side is that the cushions need to be “refilled” now & that is a problem with fixed cushions! Dilemma! I guess you have to spend good money on loose cushions - that’s what we’d do next time. BTW: not impressed with the quality of our Italian Natuzzi. I don’t like the frame on the Jardan. I always feel that this frame won’t endure alot of use.... good luck. Do not give in!
