Sectional Sofas Boost Seating Capacity in Smaller Rooms

Sectional sofas are an excellent method to increase seating in small rooms. They also give a room with a more modern look.

These sofas are perfect for families and anyone who entertains guests regularly. They can comfortably accommodate up to three times as many guests as the typical sofa.

Comfort

Sectionals are popular with homeowners because they allow them to furnish their living spaces in a consistent style while accommodating different seating requirements. They are especially beneficial for those who have a little space in their living rooms or are in apartments or other rental spaces that have strict furniture guidelines.

The first thing you'll want to think about when selecting a modular sectional is the level of comfort you'd like in your seat. Some homeowners prefer a soft plushness that feels like a hug an enormous hug, while others prefer something more solid and bolstering. In either case, you'll be happy to know that contemporary performance fabrics are becoming softer and more comfortable to sit on over the years.

You'll need to choose the number of seats you'd like in your configuration. Most sectional sofas are designed to accommodate for three or more people, and some even include reclining seats for added versatility.

You'll also need to choose a fabric that suits your lifestyle and style. Certain fabrics are more durable, and thus a better choice for families with children or pets. Certain fabrics are easier to clean and are therefore a good option for families with pets or children.

The Greyleigh Anchoretta sectional, for example, is crafted from soft olive green velvet that's easy to spot clean and has a tough microfiber cover that holds up to pet hair, claws and rowdy children. It comes with a matching ottoman, and moveable chaise lounges for those who want to stretch out and relax in their sofas. BenchMade offers endless customization options for a truly individual sectional. They also offer speedy production. Their team will give you an assortment of swatches as well as a genius paper cutout to aid you in measuring the space before you place your order so that you're sure to find the perfect fit.

Flexibility

Sectionals are a favorite choice for seating in lounges because of their flexibility. This type of couch allows you to break up a lengthy sofa into smaller pieces. You can then make a consistent theme for your lounge. Sectionals are also compatible with a wide range of styles. This is a great option if you're changing your home's layout, or switching rooms from time to time.

The best way to achieve flexibility in your sectional sofa is to purchase a set that has adjustable connectors. These are special pieces that join the different sofa sections. Connectors can have a clamping mechanism or interlocking design that ensures stability and a seamless seating experience. These components are available in a wide range of materials and sizes, so it's important to consider your personal preferences and the overall aesthetic of your space.

Another option to enhance the flexibility of your sectional is to choose a corner wedge that will transform the sectional into a U-shaped seating arrangement. This kind of corner wedge is usually curving rather than being a 90-degree angle. It will not interfere with the view of the rest of the space. This type of corner piece is smaller than square corner pieces which makes it easier to fit into smaller space.

Some modular sectionals include sleep kits, which allow you to convert the sofa into a comfy queen or double-sized bed for guests. This is a great choice for those who have guests often for the weekend, or if family members are moving in.

Customization

When you think about sectionals, you may imagine a large L shaped sofa that occupies the majority of the space. This vision may be true for certain sectional options, but there are many other options available when it comes to choosing a modular sofa.

You can customize a custom sectional sofa by changing the layout to the upholstery to suit your style and space. For instance, if you choose a curved corner wedge or a sectional with chaise lounges, you can stretch out and relax. There are other alternatives that include chairs or an armrest for those who prefer a more formal appearance. Other features that can be customized include reclining seats that can be configured with a left arm, right arm or no arms; a power option that gives you the option of independently reclining every seat; storage options like concealed storage and cupholders and back designs like panel or track, sock, or crescent. You can also select an upholstery color and fabric welting.

A lot of sections can be customized with different shapes and configurations. This lets you find the perfect match for the layout and style of your room. For instance the corner seat on U-shaped or L-shaped sectionals is boxed in on both sides, leaving no room for legs unless you go for a rounded wedge style.

Some sectionals are even equipped with sleeper sofa options that allow you to add extra sleeping spaces for guests. You can find sectional couches with one or two pull-out beds in queen or twin sizes. Take a look at the Luigi Collection with its one-arm sleeper loveseat in full size, or the Claire collection with a more traditional armless sleeper that is full-sized.

Stores

If you live in a tiny apartment size sectional sofa or a cozy cottage, the sectional sofa with storage is the ideal choice. Couches are the unsung heroes of home design. They are often the focal point of your living room because you sit on them all the time. This makes them the perfect place to store blankets, throw pillows, books, and other objects of interest.

A modular sofa with storage has several pieces that can be moved for different looks and configurations. You can also alter the upholstery, color and leg finish. If you're looking for a couch that is durable and comfortable, consider one made with high-performance fabrics. They are ideal for families with children and pets as they stand up to hair, stains and wear and tear.

Certain modular sectional sofas come with unique features. For instance, the top Reversible Sectional Sofa sectional sofas include extra chaise lounges that can be flipped in either direction. Certain models come with an open console that can be detuned to reveal a large storage space. This is perfect for charging devices, books or remotes. You can find sectionals with shelves built-in to store drinks and snacks.

Furniture Of America's Stacy Sofa from Overstock has three built-in storage compartments within the armrests. The middle console can be raised to reveal a wooden laminated table that stores magazines and other small items. IKEA FRIHETEN sleeper sofa is one of many sectional couches that have storage within the frame. This modular sofa with an upholstered bed has plenty of space for sheets and blankets. It can also be converted into a queen-sized bed by removing the cushions on the back.

Style

Like the name suggests the term "sectional" can help you divide your living space into more practical sized sections. This option, when paired with the others we've discussed will help you avoid the need to fill the entire space with a huge couches or limit the number of seats available.

Another benefit of these kinds of couches is that they generally can be paired with a variety of styles of interior design. They tend to have a sleeker appearance than standard couches, and can be decorated with pillows and throws to add a pop of color or pattern. The Jackson Everest sectional is a excellent choice for those who prefer a contemporary style, thanks to its chocolate microfiber upholstery and a simple silhouette. This model has unique features like a built-in recliner and an ottoman with storage.

You can also draw the shape of the sectional using a pen or marker on the floor to determine how it fits into the room.
