Our New Sectional from Interior Define

May 11, 2016

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. 

A couple weeks ago, the Ainsley sectional from Interior Define was delivered, unboxed and put together in the basement family room by two men in shoe covers wearing white gloves. It felt really luxurious, but then, like nothing, compared to the way the actual sectional feels. We've been enjoying movie nights, letting the girls run around while we lounge and chat, working with our feet stretched out. We never want to get off this thing. It's good. It's so very good.

I talked about the decision process in this post, but now that it's here, it's easier to see how and why we wanted a sectional to look just like this. While Interior Define didn't have the exact sectional we wanted listed, their site says, "All of our furniture is made-to-order, and you can customize nearly all of our pieces without significantly altering the price." So, I thought it was worth seeing if they could make their Ainsley sectional into a U-shaped one with a chaise on either side and a big, casual bench cushion in the middle (there's nothing like sitting on a cushion crack for an entire movie, am I right?). I even gave them the exact length we were shooting for (this sucker is 149" long!), so it would sit right in front of the built-ins. They were able to check off everything on our wish list and THEN we were able to choose what upholstery we wanted--The Pebble Weave in Dove was the winner. It's a nice warm gray with some variance–always a plus when kids are involved!–has a lot of texture to it and feels extremely soft.

A few other details we can't stop gawking over? The piping around every part and the perfectly dense cushions. Speaking of cushions, the back cushions aren't attached, so they can easily be fluffed or moved if you wanted and the bottom cushions are removable but velcro'd in place so they don't slide around--nice touch. Some of you were wondering, how's the scale? When we were looking at all of Interior Define's options, we specifically went with a style with a long chaise because we're a tall family. For reference, I'm 6'0" and here I am awkwardly sprawling out.

The good news is, my in-laws who are average to short in stature, find the couch really comfortable, too. They said they liked how they didn't feel they were sinking in or unable to get up.

Since all of the recessed lights are on dimmers, we nixed table lamps around the couch (although there is still accent lighting in other areas of the room) and decided to opt out of end tables, too, so we could maximize the seating space. The sofa comes equipped with really wide (nearly 10 inches!) armrests which are perfect for steadying a snack, drink, or book so the extra surface space and table would provide isn't missed.

In short, we're thrilled with it and couldn't recommend it enough. While we've only had it for about a month now, so we'll be sure to revisit it as time passes to keep you updated on how it wears.

Our big, 149", double chaise sectional configuration retails for about $3500--an unheard of price for something that big and custom, but Interior Define has really beautiful custom sofas beginning at just $900, including white glove delivery, a 365 day return policy, and a dedicated service concierge.

  1. May I ask how your Interior Define sofa is holding up? I'm considering purchasing, but the reviews about saggy material on the cushions is making me have second thoughts. I know they sponsored your review and it was only a couple of weeks after receiving it, but how is it now after a few years?

    Reply

  2. Hi there! Was just doing some sofa research and came across your blog post. Really curious to hear – how has it held up over the years?

    Reply

  5. How long is each chaise on both sides of the sofa? What did you have to customize it to? Thanks!

    I've read reviews that say the cushions don't flip which makes them look wrinkly. Has this been an issue for you?

    Reply

    1. We're super happy with the sofa. All the dimensions are on their site and you can even request the Chris Loves Julia configuration and they'll do it for you easy!

      Reply

  6. Did you have to call and request the bench middle seat and extra long chaise? I'm not seeing those options on the website. thanks!

    Reply

  12. I'm looking seriously at Interior Define and most especially the Dove Pebble Weave fabric. How are you liking your sofa after a year? Is the fabric holding up?
    Thanks!

  13. How is the dog hair clean up with the pebble weave fabric? I am considering an interior define sectional and have a chocolate lab and white cat so color may not be the solution as much as fabric texture... Any advice?

    Reply

  15. Julia, would you mind giving an update on how the sectional is holding up? Are the seat cushions just as pleasant as they first were? The back cushions-are they still "plump-able"? Does the overhang of the seat cushions ever bother you-like you want to go over and pull them back, but obviously you can't? Last inquiry-how has the fabric held up to dog, snacks, bodies, etc? Thank you so much for your input--I so want to pull the trigger and order our sectional but in a house that has 2 huge sofa-loving dogs and a few(ahem!)cats, I'm scared to plop down the money and have everything go south!

  20. I, too, love the Ainsley sectional. We are looking for something similar for our basement space. Something we can all sit on as a family of 5. Something sleeping bags can be spread out on when there is a sleepover. Something able to hold up tot the kids. The only difficult decision to be made is color.

  21. I love the Henry sectional and Ainsley! But whatever couch you have in your basement would be PERFECT for our upstairs loft/playroom!!! Swoon.

    Reply

  43. So hard to choose, each piece of furniture is amazing! The Owen's Sofa would be perfect for my house

    Reply

  45. I am loving the Lucy and the Ainsley couches! We seriously need a good new couch that doesn't have baby and toddler stains all over it ha!

    Reply

  58. I love yours. Love how the arms of the chaise sections go the full length of the chaise. Perfection!

    Reply

  60. Seriously I would take any of them, but since I have a big family I want the exact one you chose?

    Reply

  68. I actually really like the Ainsley. I also love the one in dark rich colors but...small children.

    Reply

  69. Definitely the Ainsley sectional. I love how deep it is. It would be perfect for our family room.

    Reply

  77. I have long been in love with deep blue velvet couches and the Caitlin sofa is just a perfect example. It's beautiful!

    Reply

  79. I want the Ainsley too! We are looking for a new house and I can't wait to upgrade our couch.

    Reply

  80. LOL - how did *you* even choose? They're all so gorgeous. Today I want the Asher sofa... Tomorrow? It could totally change. Le sigh. So beautiful.

    Reply

  84. Oops, I didn't know you had to respond on the blog, I accidentally responded on the Instagram post. I love the Walters in Dove or coal. We have been searching for a sectional for our awkward family room. We found a place similar to Interior Define here in Orange County, CA but the Walters is exactly what we are looking for. I totally trust Chris and Julia's recommendations! Just ordered our mattress based on their reviews and suggestions!

    Reply

  99. LOVE the Ainsley so much!! We are recently married and have been upgrading our house. SO MUCH TO DO!!!
    By the way, thank you so much for posting about the CO detectors. We looked at all our detectors at our home and found out that none were for CO! We ran to the store to buy some right away! Thank you for sharing and I am glad your family is safe!

    Lots of love,

  112. I literally have the Sloan sofa stored in my Interior Define shopping cart! My husband and I are doing some last minute home purchasing before our first baby arrives in October. This giveaway could be a huge weight lifted! :)

    Reply

  113. We have been stalking these couches since your first post. We would pick the Ainsley sectional as well, but in a darker gray. Glad you guys are okay, CD is a scary experience.

    Reply

  116. Dreaming of that Ainsley sectional! We have been looking for so long as we have a long narrow living room space with built-ins at one end that definitely requires a sectional but at a very specific size. But, like your post mentioned, a sectional that size comes at a steep price. The option to semi-customize would be perfect! Thanks for sharing about Interior Define; have gotten so many great ideas from your blog!

    Reply

  121. Entered! I'm in love with the Caitlin Chair in Sapphire Velvet! http://www.interiordefine.com/chris-loves-julia-picks/caitlin-chair#LK-14342-25/Leg008-3

    Also...unsure if you're reading these (because a million entries) but there is some sort of ad on your site that is making the page unusable in mobile iOS. It (even if you kill scripts on the page) takes you to a page to "win an iphone" and it will not let you navigate back. I reloaded the page multiple times and finally had to give up and find a computer ;)

    Reply

  126. We bought our current sectional used on Craigslist 9 years ago and sure could use an upgrade! I love the Ainsley because that size would go perfect in our living area. I really think your choice is perfection and would love the exact one in my home! Thank you for introducing me to interior define.

    Reply

  130. I would get the Ainsley as well. I've been loving following you for the past couple of years - I'm a fellow tall girl and comfortable furniture is so important!

    Reply

  135. My boyfriend and i just purchased our first home in new orleans and have completely gutted it. We are currently mid re-build (HVAC & plumbing what up!). I have been DREAMING of a sectional for our new living room, but alas have to spend all my money on workers, nails, sheet rock, etc.... you know the deal!!

    One day we will hopefully have a home half as cool as yours! But until then I will just be over here broke obsessing over faucets.... (I mean really, HOW do you choose?)

    I love yours, but I also really am digging the Caitlin by Everygirl. I think I would go with Ash or the Tin and then pillows galore

    Reply

  137. I've been eyeing the Rose sofa for a while, but now you've got me more interested in those shelter chairs for my family room!

    Reply

  145. I would choose the Ainsley with the right chaise. It would be perfect in my living room that I am working on. The lagoon color is perfect! This would be an amazing help!

    Reply

  147. Be still my Ainsley heart. That would be our winner. We just closed on our new house on Thursday, what a wonderful day dream to think about in such an unfriendly unpacking state. (:

    Reply

  168. I'm digging the Sloan corner sectional in the linen pebble weave fabric and the oiled walnut legs. I'm already visualizing it taking the place of my mother in law's hand me down couch from the early 1970's that is an eye sore in our basement TV/video game/playroom. Love everything you guys have done in your basement. Also love your kitchen and was bummed our dated orange oak kitchen wasn't the winner of your transformation makeover contest. Sad face. Oh well! Thanks for all the inspiration you give!

  173. I would choose the Russell for my Teens Playriom/Man Cave in Graphite and the Ainsely for our living room in Sky fabric. Both of these rooms need new couches desperately so either would be perfect!!

    Reply

  178. It would have to be Caitlyn by The Everygirl! (P.S. Love me these two Chicago companies!!) Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

  216. I love love the Ainsley. We are in desperate need of a new couch and this would fit perfect in our smaller living room! Love the way you have it set up-- dreamy!

  218. I think I'd go for a pair of Ainsley accent chairs for our living room/library. They look nice, but also comfy for curling up with a book:)

  222. I love the Caitlin chair. It would look perfect in the living room of the house we just bought!

  224. I'm a first year teacher on the search for the perfect budget-friendly couch for my new apartment and the Rose by The Everygirl is singing to me :) Now if only I had that gorgeous brick wall in the picture to go with it!

  233. The Rose has been on my wishlist for literally years! One day it'll be mine, hopefully sooner than later! :)

    Reply

  242. Ooh so amazing! I would love the Shelter Sleeper! We have such limited space, it would be so perfect! Guests would get to sleep on a comfy sleeper sofa instead of a air mattress. I'm all swoon eyes over your beautiful playroom!

    Reply

  253. Desperately need a new couch. We're currently entertaining on a third-hand college apartment couch, which is trashed and embarrassing.

    Reply

  254. I'm thinking of a switch up in our house. Making the dining room into the tv room and living room into the dining room. The sloan corner sectional would fit perfectly in the corner. I can imagine many comfy evenings watching our favorites tv shows. Thanks for the give away!

    Reply

  256. After moving this past weekend, I am eying several Interior Define pieces. However, if I had to pick one for my new place today, I would probably go with the Asher (in Heather or Lagoon), with a right facing chaise lounge: http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/asher. So many good choices, but I think that one fits best in my apartment and my budget.

    Reply

  259. How perfect, we are also working on new furniture and reno of our basement family room, and the couch has caused a divide. It's so hard to find clean lines combined with comfort. I love the SLOAN (in Dove Pebble Weave) with Matte Black Square legs! I would probably get the chairs or a loveseat to match also :)

    Reply

  261. ohh! living room or basement? ainsley is great! and the shelter sleeper sofa is perfect for extra guests!

    Reply

  301. I love the Ainsley as well! We are moving in a month and we are in search of a great looking but comfortable couch for our new family room. We want it to look super nice but provide the comfort to sit as a family of 5 and watch a movie. Thank you for leading the way for me.

    Reply

  339. I'd get the Ainsley as well, but in a traditional sectional corner sofa. We're in the market, and I love the lines!

    Reply

  340. Um hi, I love this giveaway! Thank you so much you kind soul for sharing this beauty of a company with us all. I cant stop thinking about this couch http://www.interiordefine.com/walters#NT-52594-50/ it's in my dreams and has been ever since our old (new) couch doesnt go so well with our new house and space. SMH so this is awesome and I just have all my fingers and toes crossed right now

    Reply

  358. My goodness, the Owens sofa in Stone would just be delightful in our family room! Great giveaway and your basement looks so warm and cozy!

    Reply

  363. After doing some fun on-line window shopping my personal favorite is the Owens. It would be perfect for our small space and I can imagine sitting on it with my three little ones, covered in blankets and reading books. (To be fair, most of our “reading” time is spent listening to the 3-year-old recite the book from memory because the baby is chewing on it and we can’t actually turn the page. Meanwhile, the 6-year-old just sits next to us holding her own book, periodically looking over with her eyebrows raised.) I can also see sitting on it in the evening with my husband and watching the sunset.

    As I write this it feels like it could be a sort of memory couch. Where down the road the kids say “Remember when we used to sit on that ___ couch and pinch each other while Mom read stories?” Or my husband “Remember when we used to sit on that ___ couch thinking that the baby stage would never end?” So even though my natural inclination is to go neutral so that I can use pillows for accent colors, I feel like the couch itself needs to be memorable. Maybe cerulean blue?

    Anyway, the basement transformation was fun to watch and your couch looks great! Thank you for the giveaway!

    Reply

  379. It's time to replace our 20 year old sectional that has survived my kids messy teenage years but has developed a hole in the springs. Somehow it seems I always end up sitting in that spot when watching movies as a family! It may go with my son to his first apartment if I can talk my husband into buying a new one. I'm torn between the Asher and the Ainsley. I like the mod look of the Asher but the Ainsley would probably be my first pick. Love that the clean lines of all of Interior Define's furniture!

  394. I am crushing on the Caitlin by The Everygirl in Cinder! Our den remodel is underway and after the hardwoods and molding, this baby would be the center of attention as she should be!!!

  437. What a great opportunity. You had me with this couch when I saw the long cushions. Because you are right-no one likes the crack! And we fight over it every time we watch a movie! Love the Ainsley and the color! Well done! Hoping to win!

    Reply

  440. We move into our new house in 2 weeks!? I want to do pretty much everything you did for our media room and I love that you can customize your couch with interior define! Such a plus for us taller ones! :) So I would go with the Ainsley for our media room http://www.interiordefine.com/ainsley-chaise-rt#NT-3335-21/
    But I also love the Caitlyn and Lucy by the everygirl. Maybe I need all three! Media room, living room, and sitting room!

  449. Not to be the fun spoiler but you will probably want to make an over the arm (or back) table for your sofa. I say this as someone who now has lovely drink glass rings from condensation on mine. (I have a WE Walton sectional).

  462. UGH! So many to choose from. I need a sofa for the living room & a chair for the family room, but either way, I'm loving the Caitlin!!!

    Reply

  465. Awesome, thank you for your detailed review! My husband and I are actually looking for a grey sectional for when we move in August. He's very tall and loves the chaise style, and my must-have list includes big, thick arms and comfy cushions. The Russell (http://www.interiordefine.com/chris-loves-julia-picks/russell-chaise-lt) might be what we're looking for! I would get it in a darker grey because the light sofa we have now is showing a lot of wear.

    Reply

  468. I'm crushing on the Sloan. We are mid (Ok beginning... just studs) attic master suite addition, and this would be perfect in our sitting area, which falls in the eaves.... ah, dreamy.

    Reply

  480. I'd love the Ainsley! We have a u-shaped sectional that is not great quality, and I would love to keep the configuration.

    Reply

  494. We'd probably choose the Lucy or Sloan with a slim raised leg on our hardwood floors. Our living room is pretty big so your shape is is probably spot in for what we want in our new house!
    P.S. We had a smaller sectional in our old house and found a C table was pretty handy if you need more spots for drinks and such. Check out the Siena C table in gold or the Avenue Black C table. They work out great for the person stuck in the middle who ends up holding thier drink during the whole movie!

  539. I remember checking them out first when you mentioned you could customize for your needs! We just moved into a house where a normal anything DOES NOT fit in the front room with a door (or 2) or window or stairs (or BOTH!) on every wall. But I am really digging the alice chair, especially in the mustard to pop against our moody blue walls: http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/alice-swivel#LK-14342-21//

  583. Definitely Caitlin By the Everygirl Chair, though the fabric choice would be tough. They are all fabulous!

  589. I would choose the Ainsley as well: http://www.interiordefine.com/ainsley-chaise-lt#NT-3335-22/ except in Zinc with the pebble weave. And I love your configuration - it would be perfect for our space - though I might like the corner sectional too with a chaise added on the right side. Is that even doable? :D

    Thank you for doing a give-away. I am so excited even for the possibility of winning. Woot! ;D

Fabrics are terrific, rich and comfortable. Too much to pick from. We will be getting ready to order soon.

  630. I really like the Henry. My husband is 6'4", my 4 year old believes that laying down is the only way to couch and I just want a little spot in the corner where no one is going to kick my coffee cup out of my hand. Our current couch isn't cutting it.

  634. Wow you guys are amazing!! Best give away ever! Not sure if I'm suppose to choose from items on link ...if so, I'd be so thrilled to order the Caitlyn by Everygirl in Saphire. If we could use gift toward anything I'd probably go with Ainsley Fabric Sofa w/ Right Chase in "Linen" Pebble Weave (tempted to add chase to left side also).
    Thank you!

  645. The Ainsley would also be my choice. Perfect for napping and lounging and a beauty to look at! Crossing my fingers!

  649. Loving the Ainsley!! Moving into a new house and have been couch hunting... Your post couldn't come at a better time!!

  658. So many great choices, but I still love your Ainsley. Fingers crossed since my family room is calling out for a larger sofa to accommodate the grandchildren! Thanks for the giveaway

  663. The Harper in Cerulean Blue (http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/harper#NT-6013-17/). Our couch is one of the centers of our home - our son is learning to walk, so we're constantly leaning him up against it, the dogs love to snuggle with us on the couch, you can see the kitchen from the couch-so it is an obvious place to lounge and still be part of the heart of the home!

  673. I would choose the Shelter Slipcover chair…the perfect place to curl up and read a book in our bedroom!

  675. I have been looking for a sectional for our new home! They have so many great options! I think the Ainsley or Walters would work best for us!

  676. We are actually in need of a new sofa. I've looked at their website, they have some beautiful ones. BUT, I'd definitely choose a custom one very similar to yours. Thanks for the opportunity to make it very affordable!

  680. Help me do my homework! I listened to your podcast and immediately thought - I HATE our couches... but we can't afford to replace them... yet. I would choose the Henley or the Kelley in Oxford Blue - perfection.

    Reply

  681. Oh MAN - you have no idea how much I need this right now. My husband has very few opinions about things, especially home related, but when he does he feels very very strongly. And one of those things is the sofa he will sit on. We used to have this vintage couch that I bought for $100 on craigslist. It had great lines and was an awesome yellow color, but it was not in the best shape. When we moved we sold that couch, and I tell you I have never heard the end of it. He loved that thing. No other couch will ever compare. It had really wide arms so he could set his laptop on it, it was firm so that you didn't sink into it. In husband world it had the perfect proportions. I have been looking for a something that will fit his list of requirements for over a year and kicking myself that I didn't just bring the vintage couch across the country. FINALLY I think I have found something that will work for him. I love that everything on here can be customized, so he can get exactly what he wants. PLEASE SAVE ME FROM THE HORRIBLE HAND ME DOWN SOFA WE ARE SITTING ON RIGHT NOW BECAUSE HE WON'T CHOOSE ANYTHING THAT ISN'T EXACTLY PERFECT!!!

    Fairly certain we would go with the Ainsley, but perhaps add legs for a little more height, and only one chaise. :-)

  686. So many to choose! I love them all. If I had to pick one for my current living room it would be the smaller version of the gray in a deep blue. Love your sectional. Happy movie watching.

  689. Just got a new sofa darn it. But thought of something you might like. Try building some wood "U" shaped "sleeves" to go over your arm rests. It would make for a more sturdy place to rest a drink, snacks etc

  702. I would love to get the Sloan with right chaise in Charcoal basketweave! It would go perfectly with our other furniture, and I think it's about time I got rid off our old leather couch that was passed on to us by my parents.

    Although the Ainsley looks really great too, and it would be good since the cats won't go sneaking around under the couch!

  731. Caitlin by the Everygirl! It looks so lush and comfy and would fit our small space. Its funny you said that about sitting in a cushion crack. That is the story of my life.

  739. I love the Ainsley as well! We currently have a Kivik sofa from Ikea, which has a similar style - I love those wide armrests! We're interested in a sofa+chaise, or a big L-shaped configuration. I ordered some fabric samples last week - I LOVE how soft the Performance Felt is I'm really interested in how durable they will end up being - we have a dog, cats, and a kid - Are the covers removable and washable?

  747. I think if I won, my husband would have no other choice but to let us replace our ugly (but comfortable) sofa! We have a U shape too, but our living room is better suited for a smaller one. I love the Walters!!! Please universe, help me get a new sofa! haha :)

  788. Drooling over every word in this post. Gorgeous sectional!

    I am all heart eyes for the Russel in the same fabric you chose....although in reality, since we would have to purchase this year, should I win, my budget for furniture isn't quite plush enough. No doubt it is worth every penny and I am anxious to hear how it wears.

  806. Ainsley!! We recently moved into a 1920's home and the living room/family room is somewhat awkward. The Ainsley is the first couch I have seen that might actually work in the space with the low ledge on the lounge side!!! ??

    I love the Ainsley Sectional! My family would love to have some room considering were a family of 5 and have a 72" sofa Lol. I've been looking for a sofa for the pass two years. However, we just can't afford it right now. It's ok we enjoy snuggling together but I'm sure my boys would love the room to jump Lol. You guys have done such a great job on your basement! :) I love your blog!

  840. The Ainsley is pure perfection in your space. Love the wide arms and the piping. Alas, my living room would be ALL AINSLEY if I chose that one. The Caitlyn would fit my space perfectly. Dreaming of new sofa now.......

  842. Oh wow. I would want a big, u-shaped sectional exactly like yours!! We are building a new house and I NEED a huge, gigantic couch to snuggle all my people on ?

  847. I think I'd choose the Sloan...probably in a fabric close to what you chose! I love the texture of it. My current sofa has no texture and even with just two adults using it, it's still shown more than I'd like to admit...(we eat dinner there most nights ?).

  877. Oh wow, what a great opportunity! We desperately need a new couch for our family room -- we bought our current one years ago when it was just me and my husband, and now as a family of five it's definitely time for an upgrade in size and style. I think I'd be tempted to get the same configuration in the Ainsley that you did--perfect for family movie night and for Games of Thrones viewing parties. :)

  880. You guys are a dream team and I was so excited to hear about the giveaway! Ever since your post, I haven't stopped dreaming of the Walter in Dove from the interior define website!

  889. Oh boy am I smitten over the Sloan accent chair http://www.interiordefine.com/sloan-accent-chair#LK-14342-25/Leg010-3. The legs in brass are the bee's knees. I would need about 3 days of decision-making to decide on a color that would pair with my existing velvet blue couch, but I'm sure from their options, I'll come up with a winner (I'll take input on color options!)

    The Sloan couch would also be great for my mom (where the winning prize would be better spent). She's in the process of swapping out her furniture to be more comfortable as she ages. Speaking of which, why are recliners so ugly!? Interior Define, help us out!

    As always J&C thanks for a comprehensive post and great design inspiration!

  896. Honestly - I'd choose what you choose exactly (but a smaller version!). We shopped a couple of years ago for a sectional like that at Ethan Allen and decided not to pony up that much cash. I later scored almost the same exact sofa (just not the sectional we originally wanted) as a floor model for half the price! Their clearance sales are amazing! This sectional would be perfect for our basement and our herringbone wall!

  903. I've been searching for the perfect couch for months because chances are it will be sticking around forever! I haven't found one because I have a two year old and 4 month old that consume my time when I get home from work and I'm so glad you posted this site! I'm already in love with the Owen one, just want one solid cushion though and a little bit deeper. I'm definitely going to be contacting them! I kept looking for this image I had in my head and I don't know why custom didn't come to mind!! I'm in love with all your projects!

It kinda says, "Hello y'all, welcome to the basement!"

    I love the curtains that you added in the basement playroom. I know curtains look best touching the floor. In my home though, I have heat registers on the bottom 5 inches near the baseboard. I currently have curtains that hit in between the bottom of the window and the register.

    #WhatWouldJuliaDo? (Can this please be an official hashtag?) :)

    Is it safe to have curtains that go all the way to the floor? I know that would be most ideal. And aesthetically pleasing. Or is there a certain affordable curtain that you would recommend?

  1048. My husband and I are torn between the Owens sectional and the Caitlyn sectional. Either one would finish off our family room/media room perfectly. We're getting tired of sitting in dining chairs to watch movies...It's time to get something comfortable...

  1049. I love the room exactly as you have it set up - so I would go with the Ainsley as well. I love the color of the couch too!

    Reply

  1054. The Ainsley in the more traditional sectional layout is exactly what I'm looking for. The grey you picked is gorgeous!

    Reply

  1055. Your Ainsley looks perfect. As another 6 footer, I love how much room you seem to have! It might just have to be our pick for our next couch.

    Reply

  1056. I would love the Ainsley in charcoal it would be perfect in my basement! Fingers crossed I win!

  1058. This is amazing! I've been eyeing the Caitlin by The Everygirl sofa (in Sapphire!) with brass legs for a week now! My 3 sweet kiddos and I are moving to a new home in a new state and would LOVE to have such a beautiful piece in our new space. Starting over with a sofa so perfectly "me" would be so comforting. From homework to snuggles, this sofa would be the center of our living space ♡ Thanks so much Julia for an incredible opportunity! xoxo

  1059. Loving the Henry sectional! So cozy looking- perfect for our playroom which is in desperate need of a new couch!

  1060. I would definitely pick the Russell! A custom sofa would work so well in my basement family room as well! I love the way yours is turning out.

  1065. I'd pick the Caitlin Sofa in the shortest length, in the Narwhal dark grey velvet with brass feet. Perfect in every way!

    Reply

  1067. Oh my goodness, I would die to have the Ainsley. And I'd honestly customize it to look just like yours. I'm in love!!!

    Reply

  1069. I love the Sloane sectional, but with natural oak legs - it's displayed by default with chrome metal legs, which I do not like AT ALL. But with oak legs, it gives it a substantial feeling and a warmth that I love.

    Reply

  1070. I really love the Henry sectional. We just bought our first house and I think that shape would go perfectly in our rec-room! I love the wide arms!

  1075. I love the sectional you picked. And the fabric is so gorgeous! Thank you for the chance to win!

  1087. I love the Rose by The Everygirl!! We have a toddler who loves to play with the cushion backs and those are attached to the couch!!?

  1092. Love the Ainsley. Living in Montana, it's hard to find affordable and good looking pieces of furniture. I appreciate your willingness to let us know if something is worth ordering!

    Reply

  1100. Wow! Love the sofa and how the room is coming together! Looks awesome! Interior define seems like an amazing company! We need a sleeper sofa so I'm tempted by the Kelly sleeper but everything is tempting!

    Reply

  1104. So hard to choose! I love the shelter (slipcovers are your friends when you have kids) , but if I think I had to choose I would go with the Caitlyn everyday chair. We've had this one side chair since before we were married and it doesn't even go with anything, but it's so darn comfortable. The Caitlyn looks like the perfect replacement to put right next to the fireplace. ❤️

  1105. Your new sectional is fantastic! What a perfect fit of comfort and class. I'd definitely be willing to give up my college couch for a beauty like that. Thank you for the giveaway chance. Crossing our fingers!

    Reply

  1109. I'm really loving both the Walters and the Asher sectionals!! Then again there's also Lucy by the every girl which looks amazing! Ahh there's so many amazing choices within this company it's very hard to pick a favorite! I'm moving next month and have been waiting patiently to find the perfect couch for our home and interior define has everything I favor!!

    Reply

  1111. I would definitely choose the Ainsley, maybe even set up just like yours. Love love love it! I found your blog when I was looking for help installing our ceramic wood-look tiles. Im so glad I did. Love your blog!

    Reply

  1112. We are currently redoing our basement as well and would definitely choose the Ainsley sectional as well. Fingers crossed!!

    Reply

  1114. We've been looking for months for a new sofa/sectional for our living room. I hadn't spent much time on our old, hand-me-down couch until we had a baby two months ago, but after countless hours feeding and playing with the baby on this extremely uncomfortable couch, I know it's time to pry open my tightly clenced fists! The Ainsley sectional in the Coal Basket Weave would fit perfectly with my modern-lined look, and it would be wonderful to have the customizable options because we have a small space that needs a lot of seating. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

  1119. The Russell Sofa with the chaise is perfect for our home. We LOVE a good chaise. I have been dying for a grey couch, so I think Dove would be a great fit for our room.

    Reply

  1123. I went to the store yesterday and sat on all of the couches. I would definitely get the Ainsley! I love the Owen's chair too! And the Harper is also a favorite, but I would start with the Ainsley.

    Reply

  1137. I'm thinking the Walter is right for me! Oh it would be nice to win! Since my couch is sinking terribly, we've had a "couch fund " that we keep trying to save up. But it keeps getting dipped in to for things like furnace emergencies & hospital bills. Gah!

    Reply

  1142. Love the Ainsley too!! And the rose chair! Really love that everything is customizable!

    Reply

  1143. Oh my! How have I not heard about this store before? I am dying over the Caitlin for Every Girl sofa in sapphire velvet. Swoon worthy for our Icelandic Blue living room!!

    Reply

  1146. I am loving the legs of their Sloan style sofas and chairs. The sleek and modern feel to all of their products is exactly what I am looking for.

    Reply

  1148. Oh this $1000 would do so much for us!! My husband and I bought a sectional off of Craiglist when we moved into our place three years ago, and it's *definitely* showing its age and second-handness.

    I would opt for the Walters in a U shape like yours, also in your dove color and would see if they could do a bench seat and a long pillow for the middle section as well. Our apartment is so close to being done (for now ?), all we need is to replace the old couch.

    Hope I win!!!

    Reply

  1154. I would definitely go with the Ainsley. We are building a new house and it would be perfect in our family room. We currently have a couch and a loveseat setup, so switching to one big sectional would be perfect! It's classic, comfy and streamlined. LOVE it!

    Reply

  1162. I'm IN LOVE with the Lucy sofa. I have been eyeing it for over a year now, and your rave review of ID makes me want to pull the trigger!

    Reply

  1165. I'd also opt for Ainsley! An Ainsley Sectional in Storm Pebble Weave is exactly what my "abarntment" (barn loft being renovated into an apartment) needs! I recently relocated to Michigan from Lincoln Park, Chicago, so a sofa from Interior Define would be a welcomed reminder of my old stomping grounds!

    Reply

  1167. I love Caitlin by the everygirl in charcoal. Wow this would be fun to win, we close on a house the middle of May and furniture shopping is in order!

  1170. The Ainsley is amazing but I love everything they have!! I need new furniture in my living room so bad! We have 8 year old chairs from Walmart. ? They've seen better days!
    Thanks for the opportunity!

  1171. I would pick the Ansley corner sectional as well. We just purchased our first home where our small outdated apartment size couch and love seat do not mesh well. This sectional will fit perfectly in our dreamy living room with lots of natural light!

    Reply

  1173. Where to start as I stop drooling? I would love an Ainsley for the basement, a Harper for the reading room, and a Lucy for the living room.

  1176. I would definitely pick the Ainsley! Perfect choice. Like be the depth, the shape, the chunkiness. So so perfect.

  1181. Hi! Great job on the basement - you guys have done an awesome job in making it functional, homey, and stylish. If I were to choose I think I would pick the Ainsley sectional couch!

  1187. Love your new sofa!! It looks so cozy!! Thank for hosting such an awesome giveaway!! We really need some new accent chairs so this one would be amazing:

  1188. I would choose either the Caitlin chair or the Rose sofa, hard decision, one I would be happy to make! :)

    Reply

  1194. I would definitely go with the Ainsley with a right chaise! I would either order it in Dove or Fog upholstery. I love that it looks soft and durable while still maintaining a modern edge. We are remodeling our entire house and have been for 8 months. We're just now getting near the end and I cannot wait until we can afford to decorate and furnish our new spaces!

    Reply

  1198. LOVE the Rose or Ainsley! We are moving from Virginia to Texas next month and are trying to do the move as cheap as possible so we are basically getting rid of everything and replacing it there! I've been keeping my eyes open for a good couch, these are so tempting. They look nice and deep, which is a must! Thanks for the chance at winning!

    Reply

  1201. I would chose this exact one. Funny story: i came accross your blog because we are looking for a sectional (and have been looking for about a year and a half) so I clicked on the instagram post about the sectional and here I am. Hoping and praying I win this!

    Reply

  1210. I've had my eye on the Sloan sectional ever since you guys first referenced this site. It's definitely happening at some point, but the credit could be the difference between it happening this year and god knows when :)

    Reply

  1211. I love the Owens, but I'd really take all of the ID pieces! I've been in the Chicago showroom and all the furniture is top notch!

    Reply

  1212. Love your sofa choice! It looks wonderful!
    I would probably choose the Russell - we have a couch in our living room / play room that is beat up! Would be nice to get something that doesn't have holes and stuffing removed from our rescue dog haha!

    Reply

  1213. Great lines! These sofas look soft and fabulous. It would be a great replacement for our thrift store sofa and only sofa we've ever owned. I love the Caitlin and Sloan! Thanks so much!

    Reply

  1217. Hands down the Caitlin in graphite. And I may be a bit biased due to the name? I love that it has slim arms but stays chunky and comfy!

  1226. I would choose the Kelley Accent Chair in the Linen Pebble Weave! It is stunning and would go perfectly with our couch set we have in our condo right now! Thank you so much for the opportunity!

  1239. I would get the exact style you got. Our basement is super awkward and I love how this has the double chaise. So excited!

    Reply

  1250. The Ainsley in Putty would be perfect in our family room, but also the Shelter sleeper in Sailcloth is a must have for extra guests! It is so difficult to find a comfortable sofa. I felt like Princess and the Pea sitting on so many, and still never finding "the one"! I would have been nervous to buy online without trying, but I trust your recommendation completely!

  1255. I love the Henry sofa. I too am 6' so I was wondering how the chaise fit. I bought a cheap sectional for my place in September and my legs hang over the chaise and I can never get comfortable. Worst purchase ever. Went ahead and ordered swatches from ID as well!

    Reply

  1261. The Ainsley in Natural makes my heart flutter. Our current sectional in the basement has seen better days and after the dog used it as his bed for years, it's an embarrassment.

    Reply

  1266. I love your sectional and would love the chaise detail. I always have to have my feet up while watching TV!
    My favorite Interior Define product is the sleeper! I need one for a guest room/office!

  1269. Chris & Julia! As always you just blow me away. What a beautiful piece of furniture! We just moved into a new (huge/fixer upper) and we have this awkward little sectional that we purchased for our apartment. It's very awkward in our space and blocks off a bay window ? I would love to replace it, plus our now one year old son has wreaked havoc on the poor sectional so it's time for a cleaner and larger piece of furniture. I love the large cushions and clean lines of this piece >> http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/owens-sofa

    Thanks guys!

  1271. My husband and I just moved into a new house and we're in the market for a sectional. I'd love to have the Henry.

  1275. I love those sweet legs on the Owens sofa! We don't hate our last couch but would love something with detachable cushions for better rotating and cleaning. This sounds perfect!

  1276. The Harper really grabbed my attention. We just took out two walls to make a living, kitchen, dining great room. My cheap 5-year max sofa is on year 10 and has plenty of "whoops" all over it's sagging self. Definitely not the star of the great room show right now. I would love to try an I/D sofa in our new space. I love your double chaise one as well!

  1286. I would choose the Ainsley as well! It looks so comfortable! I also am in need of a new couch that will stand up to my two crazy children. I think I would have a challenging time deciding on a color... Thank you!

  1289. The "Caitlin by The Everygirl" sofa is my jam... but if I win, I don't know that I'd be able to pick a color by September! All of the blue shades they have are gorgeous.

    Keep up the good work with the blog! I always enjoy reading.

  1292. What a lovely lovely room!! Great job you guys! One question ... do you intend to use that fireplace? If so wouldn't it be great if the couch was facing it? And the TV station was on the other side of the wall (where the kids table now stands)?

    Reply

    1. We considered that, but the first photo shows where you walk into the room and it felt really weird to have everything facing against the entrance. We'll still get to sit by the fire (it works, but we've actually never used it. Haha) if we're on the play side.

      Reply

  1297. Love the way that sofa fits in your space. Beautiful! We are hoping to redo our living room space this year and I would love the Owens or Asher sofa for that room. Such clean, modern designs. What a fun giveaway!

  1298. I too would probably select Ainsley from your picks. Not sure what I'd select over the entire website. That sectional is dreamy and looks like an awesome spot for a nap!

      Growing up my favorite memories with my mom are in our) love seat.I would be sitting in it, then we would have two open couches and my mom always insist on sitting with me in the love seat. Every Friday night growing up was movie night, and my mom and I would squeeze together in our little chair. Now, 23, whenever I go home, I always look forward to our love seat snuggles! This would be the perfect addition to my new apartment, so I can start the tradition with my own little family some day! : )
