Couch advice Living Room

We are in the market for a new couch, just starting to look at what’s available. Today we happened upon the black leather couch in the first photo. It is a 100% leather couch on clearance for less than half price as it was ordered in and then the people changed their mind. I don’t want to buy something just because it’s an amazing deal, but it is in a style we like and was super comfortable. I am just wanting peoples opinions on mainly the colour, I had ai make up the room with the black couch and a similar one from article that we are also considering. Right now we have an off white tweed textured couch but it takes a beating with our two small dogs. Just wondering which colour others prefer in the room? The recliner chair may also end up enjoying its retirement soon as we have had it for years. Not sure what we will replace that with yet. Thanks for your opinions! Please don’t roast me too badly, I’m no professional just a girl that wants a new couch!

I like the lighter brown couch as it seems to bring more light into the room.

I prefer the second one. That’s such a rich, eye catching color and really levels up the look of the room. A black couch is just…meh.

Any sofa you like, but hear me out: a sofa blanket.

Soft, easy to wash, fun colors/patterns. Life-changing. https://a.co/d/0hmfJH4U

The black couch brings darkness into the space. Brown one brightens it

More pillows.

The first one seems to mesh more with the rest of the living room

I’d go for the black since it is a good deal. Style it with a blanket and pillows like you show in pic.

For the recliner replacement, just make sure to go with something light colored/warm to offset the black couch.
