Sectionals

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.

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.  

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.
