Are there different types of sectionals for modern living rooms?

Yes! Several types of sectionals fit beautifully with living room furniture:L-shaped sectionals: These designs are popular in smaller living rooms since they can fit into a corner for optimized seating.U-shaped sectionals: More suitable for larger spaces, the U-shape is ideal for facilitating conversations or gathering to watch the big game.Modular sectionals: For those who like to switch up their layouts often, modulars offer the flexibility to mix and match pieces to fit any room or function.Sleeper sectionals: These convert into beds, giving you extra sleeping options when you have guests over.Reclining sectionals: Add the features of a recliner to your sectionals for extra comfort and relaxation.

What are the best materials for sofas and sectionals?

Durability and aesthetics are the main considerations when deciding on materials for sofas and sectionals. For example, leather is highly durable, ages beautifully, and offers a luxurious touch. Velvet sectionals provide a similar look of luxury but require more maintenance.In households with kids or pets, you might want to invest in something more suitable for wear and tear. For example, microfibre and polyester are soft, stain-resistant materials known for being easy to clean. For a lighter touch that’s more breathable, try linen upholstery. Although linens require regular cleaning in high-traffic areas, they make a room open and welcoming.

What are the key factors to consider when choosing a sectional for a living room?

There are three principal factors to think about when choosing a sectional: Space:Measurements: You’ll need a clear sense of your room’s dimensions and the open areas where sectionals could fit. Also, remember to factor in their positioning relative to doors and windows when deciding on a layout.Orientation: Not every sectional is modular, so pay attention to whether the one you’re considering is right-facing or left-facing to avoid awkward-looking decor. Style:Design: Besides the type of sectional, you should also think about its materials and style, which are usually a matter of preference. Sectionals are large, dominating pieces, so choosing designs that match your existing decor is a good idea.Comfort: Since they are a place to lounge and relax, you should ensure the sectional you want is comfortable before buying it. Function:Storage: Some sectionals have side panels for storing small items.Features: Other models could have modular, reclining, or convertible features to suit specific needs.

Sectional Sofa

Whether you are looking to seat the whole family or want a cozy place to relax, sectional sofas are versatile, functional, and comfortable pieces of furniture. With ample seating, sophisticated designs, and the ability to fit into most spaces sectionals are perfect for entertaining guests or lounging.

If you want to purchase a sectional couch for your home, here’s everything you need to know to find your perfect match.

What is a Sectional Sofa?

Sectionals are made from two or more sofa segments that attach and allow you to customize the size and shape of your seating. Sectionals seat at least six, providing more seating than a standard couch.

• Clean lines and plush comfort

• Consolidating clutter and maximizing space

• Versatile ways to arrange

• Enhance your decor while being comfortable and convenient

• Works well in smaller and larger spaces

• Breaks up an open floor plan

• Easier to assemble and maneuver than a traditional sofa

Different Types of Sectionals

Sectionals come in various styles and shapes to fit your home’s needs and aesthetic. Here are four of the most common types of sectionals.

L-Shaped Sectional

L-shaped sectionals include a main couch with two to three segments and a chaise off one end. They can also have two equal-length sofa segments that join at the corner.

• Fits comfortably in a corner and in the center of a room

• Comes in a variety of sizes that are excellent for smaller spaces

• Perfect for square living rooms where they will sit flush against the wall

• May not contain as much seating as a U-shaped sectional

U-Shaped Sectional

U-shaped sectionals are also known as three-sided sectionals. They include a main couch with three to five segments and a chaise or sofa coming off each end to form that U-shape.

• Perfect for larger rooms with a lot of space

• Great for fostering conversations and pairs excellently with a coffee table

• Provides ample seating with three full sides

• Are bulkier than L-shaped sectionals, and may close off the room

Modular Sectional

Most sectionals come in segments meant to be arranged in a certain way, but modular sectionals include as many as five segments that can be rearranged.

• Versatile for many room sizes and shapes

• Easy to disassemble and move through small spaces, such as doors and stairways

• Can be customized to fit any space

• Addresses many different comfort needs

Curved Sectional

These are characterized by a soft bending shape that acts as a beautiful statement piece for large rooms. Curved sectionals seat four to 10 people comfortably.

•Fits in open floor plans where it can sit in the middle of the space

•Adds an architectural element for bold designs and aesthetics

•The rounder style provides extra room for seating, legs, and coffee tables

•May not fit well in small or crowded spaces

Components & Configurations of a Sectional Sofa

Sectional couches are composed of many different segments. Here are the most common:

Right Arm Facing

If the segment’s right side is extended out when facing the sectional, it’s right arm facing.

Left Arm Facing

If the segment’s left side is extended out when facing the sectional, it’s left arm facing.

Armless

An armless segment is a center or corner piece of a sectional that doesn’t have arms.

Chaise

A chaise is an extended cushion that lets you stretch your legs and comes in right and left-facing configurations.

How To Choose the Best Sectional Couch for Your Space

Pick the Right Configuration

When choosing which sectional will fit your space, consider the configuration of your sectional sofa. Answer the following questions to help you decide:

• How much seating space do you need? L-shaped sectionals can be as small as a three-to-four-seater, while U-shaped sectionals seat at least seven. Think about how many people you need to accommodate.

• Where will you place the sectional? If a sectional is going to be placed against a wall, you generally want the segment against the wall to be the longest, as it is the side with the least amount of traffic. For example, if it will be on the left side of your room, you will likely want a left-arm-facing sectional.

Choosing a Fabric & Style

Fabric plays a big part in your decision-making process, whether you need a durable and stain-resistant fabric for kids and pets, a luxurious suede that is soft to the touch, or a classic leather that balances durability and comfort.

Microfiber

It is also important to consider your decor. Sectionals come in various styles to fit any taste, including contemporary, mid-century, modern, traditional, and transitional.

Ensure the piece you choose is equally functional to fit your lifestyle, as well as aesthetically pleasing to align with your home’s interior.

Measure Your Space

One of the most important considerations when buying your sofa is considering the size and shape of your room. Sectionals can easily overwhelm a room if you haven’t properly measured the space to see where the sectional will lay.

How To Measure for a Sectional

• Take note of the length and depth

• Measure the heights and widths of all entryways, stairways, and hallways to ensure the sectional can maneuver through them

• Factor in ceiling heights, architectural details of the room, banisters, or low-hanging fixtures that might get in the way

• Tape out the sectional’s exact shape and dimension in your room to see if it will extend past walls or walkways

• Consider the traffic patterns of the room as well as any other large furnishings the room may have

• Make sure you have enough room to properly move about the space

How to Position Your Sectional

With a Rug

• Avoid tiny rugs, as they tend to make the room feel smaller.

• Place the rug under only the front legs of all sides of your sectional couch. This placement centers the rug right in the crook, or L, of the sectional.

• For larger rooms, center your rug in the middle of the space to act as the focal point, and position your sectional around it in a way that feels natural.

• Consider a round rug for an unconventional twist. It can help draw the eye across the room and make spaces feel more connected to each other.

Shop rugs

With a Coffee Table

• Choose a coffee table that feels balanced and proportional to the size of your sectional.

• Place your coffee table 14 to 18 inches from the edge of your sectional.

• For L-shaped sectionals, you don’t want your coffee table to extend past the length of the sectional arm to avoid a blocky feel.

• Round coffee tables are a great option for Curved or U-Shaped sectionals, where they need to be easily navigated.
