Greetings,

I understand your dilemma. You basically would like something that will give you the most amount of seating area but occupy the least amount of space, since you do want that lofty look.

I actually wanted the same thing, so I went with a custom sectional from Modern Line Furniture.

I purchased a U-shape sectional sofa, which basically left me with plenty of open space and a lot of comfortable seating.
Now, in regards to the low profile lool, I've noticed that most contemporary leather sets are low in height with a smaller seating depth than most traditional sets. From my experience, as long as you pick a contemporary sofa with a comfortable higher back, I'm sure you will be satisfied. The low backs may look nice but I dont think you will enjoy lounging on the couch as much.

Good luck with your purchase. Please post pics if you can :)
