Trend Spotting: Low Modular Sofas

Lately I have been loving this low, loungy look. Perhaps because with a wild 2 yr old, the softer and lower furniture can be the better, or because this style is just so inviting and cool! These chunky sofas can seem too heavy and retro, but I think when done in the proper proportions and accented with more delicate pieces, they can have a chic, modern vibe. One tip is to be sure to balance their low silhouette with some taller items close by to draw the eye up, such a standing lamp or potted plant. Do you think this look could work for you? 

For those of you in the market, I adore this Living Edge Modular Sofa here and this Cube Article sofa here, or for more inspiration here is a fantastic retail roundup!
