slow and low

You found the perfect new home, and in this economy the perfect time to grab it.  Now what?  The furniture you have been dragging around since moving out of that ratty apartment you rented with your dorm buddies is ready for the chipper.  Sure that hammock chair you picked up in Palau has it's place in your heart, as it should. Pieces collected over time and travels can successfully be edited into your life.  The sofa, however is usually the last thing to be considered.  It is the biggest thing in the room and it deserves to be appreciated.

Think about the first thing you want to do when you get home from a long day.  Crack a cold one and take a load off.  Unfortunately we frequently never make it past the counter stools in the kitchen.  Move past that urge, and take your Half Acre into the living room.  Your day was most likely spent sitting in an awful desk chair or running between appointments.  This is your time. Time to change your position.  A low profile sofa provides that change.  Your perspective is different 12" above the floor.  Legs are extended further, circulation is eased.  Low sofas also emphasize more dramatic sight lines especially in high rises, and well designed, contemporary homes. It may take more effort to get out of, but you'll be more relaxed.
