Airy Modern Living Room with Reclining Accent Chair & Pet-Friendly Fabrics

A bright, light-filled modern living room designed for both style and relaxation. This hybrid design features a spacious sofa with legs for robot vacuum clearance, plus one reclining accent chair for comfort and one standard accent chair for balance. An oversized ottoman, coordinating side and coffee tables, and a large area rug complete the collection. All furnishings use durable, pet-friendly fabrics in neutral tones with soft blue and green accent potential. The elevated sofa and elevated reclining chair work together to maintain the airy aesthetic while providing practical comfort and functionality.
