What is a Sectional Sofa?

Sectional sofas and couches are a popular choice for homes where comfort and seating capacity are must-have features. Our timeless sectionals deliver the right combination of functionality and style, with customizable options to deliver the perfect seating configuration for your living space.

How to Choose a Sectional Sofa

One of the best aspects of a well-designed sectional sofa is you can customize it to precisely fit your living space no matter how uniquely shaped of a room you’re working with. The key is knowing your options. Let’s start with a traditional sectional to give you an idea of how these couches work. A traditional sectional sofa usually features a chaise lounge on one side to offer full body support and a comfortable place to relax while watching television or reading. This can be paired with a two-seater or three-seater sofa that’s armless on one side to allow for continuity. If you have a long narrow room or a lot of space to fill, you may be better off selecting a longer couch such as a four-seater or a different configuration. Some sectional couches are made to be reversible (usually by having a mobile ottoman and reversible cushions) while others are specifically designed to be right or left-facing, so plan your space accordingly.

Styles of Sectional Sofas

One of the advantages of choosing a sectional couch is the variety of options that are available to fit your specific seating needs. There are many different styles and shapes of sectional sofas to choose from. An L-shaped sectional, which usually features two couch sections put together, is a great solution for creating intimate conversation space within larger rooms while still providing plenty of places for people to sit. A corner sectional or rounded corner sectional can create the same effect in a smaller setting and is always a welcoming sight in the den or living room. Selecting two chaise lounges for your side pieces allows you to form a u-shaped sofa that offers twice the lounging space, while a larger U-sofa can be designed by pairing two L-shaped sectionals together. You can also shop for sectionals in specific design styles, including mid century modern sectionals.

Save Space with a Custom Sectional

A surprising feature about sectional sofas is that they are great space-saving solutions for smaller rooms. Because the entire sectional seating arrangement is enclosed, it gives off the sense of a thoughtfully laid-out room without eating up a lot of floor space between accent chairs and extra seating. The little corner curves create inviting warmth and comfort while the entire seating arrangement can be pulled apart or rearranged if you wish to add in a little bit of room between guests. And, because a sectional sofa is built from separate pieces you can easily take the entire thing apart to move between rooms or to a new house. If it turns out your new sitting room has more space than your current living situation, you can simply add in more sectional seating pieces to fill the space as needed.

Sectional Couches to Fit Your Style

Like our regular sofas, our passionate furniture engineers were inspired by the best of mid-century modern, contemporary and traditional design when it came to creating our selection of sectional couches. If you’re a fan of Atomic Era design, you’ll find the clean lines, organic curves and minimalist details you love in mid-century furniture perfectly captured in our vintage-inspired sectional sofas.
