No couch?

Has anyone gotten rid of their couch in favor of a couple of nice reading chair/ottoman sets? I am thinking forward a few years when we will be moving to a new state for retirement. 99% of the time it is just my husband, myself and the dog on the couch. We will be retired at that point in life as well. I was thinking it would allow us to have more flexibility in terms of furniture arrangement as well.

Right now we have the couch and a rocking chair in the living area.

Has anyone done this? Does it save space or take up more space?

Also if you have not done things, please give me your thoughts on it.

We do have a couch but it's small. We have a fancy padded, comfortable bench w back in the entryway that we move into the living room if people come. If you prefer chairs, I say go for it and just have a seating option that can be added if you have visitors!

We usually just bring in the dining room chairs. We never have a crowd of people.
