- You don’t have a guest bed for people to stay overnight in
- You want to make your space feel cozier or more inviting
- You want a focal point in your space
If any of these points resonate with you, a sectional sofa may be just what you need to upgrade your living space! So, how do you go about choosing a sectional?
How do I choose a sectional for my space?
Choosing the best sectional for your lounging area can be difficult if you don’t have the proper guidance. While some furniture stores will shove a million models in your face and tell you to “pick one,” Living Designs Furntiure’s experts are here to guide you through your search for a stress-free experience.
Here are some of our expert tips on what to look for when buying a sectional sofa!
1. Determine your needs
Re-read the list we have above and see what applies to you. This can give you a better idea of how a sectional can function in your space. After all, the best sectional sofas are the ones that cater to your needs. How you intend to use the sectional will determine what type of sectional you’ll need and its ideal configuration.
If you visit our showroom, one of our experts will likely ask you a series of questions to determine how a sectional can best fit your needs. Finding pieces that suit your lifestyle can guarantee a home full of well-loved furniture for years to come.
2. Pick a sectional type
Here at Living Designs Furniture, we offer a variety of sectionals in our showroom for you to choose from. See which of these sectional types would best suit your space!
Sofa chaise
If you’re on the hunt for a small living room sectional, a sofa chaise may be exactly what you need. The sofa provides a supportive seating area while the chaise adds a lovely lounging section that won’t take up too much space while still looking elegant and inviting.
Sofa back and bumper
Want the seating of an L sectional without closing off your space? A sofa back and bumper gives you seating versatility while maintaining a cozy feel and providing a more open look to your space.
Corner sectional
Corner sectionals, which are typically the largest type of sectional, can have multiple pieces depending on what you’re looking for and what can fit into your space. For example, a 3-piece corner sectional can comprise of two sofas and a connecting piece or two sofas plus a chaise! A corner sectional is a great choice for those who love to entertain, have large families, or just love multiple surfaces to stretch out on.
At Living Designs Furniture, we can create a 2-piece, 3-piece, or even a 5-piece sectional to accommodate your seating needs!
Performance fabric sectional
For those of you who have children, pets, or guests galore, you’ll need a sectional that is as durable as it is beautiful. A performance fabric sectional is the perfect investment for your home because not only will it look and feel luxurious, the fabric is specifically crafted to be stain-resistant, liquid-repellant, and in some cases, virtually indestructible. Your sectional will continue to look beautiful and feel fantastic for years to come!
In our expert opinion, utilizing Crypton fabric — the king of performance fabrics — in your upholstery is a great way to ensure that your pieces will last a lifetime.
3. Choose a sectional size
Take a good look at your living room — or whichever room you will put the sectional in — and determine what size this sectional will need to be. A sectional that is too small can make a room feel cramped whereas a sectional that is too large can make a room feel empty.
Grab a measuring tape and take down the dimensions of the room to give yourself a better idea of the sectional size you need. It’s also a smart idea to measure the doors in your home (front door and any door leading into your seating space) to make sure a piece can physically be put into your house and into the designated room. If you shop at Living Designs Furniture, we offer a variety of sectional sizes in our showroom; however, if nothing feels just right, we can create custom sized furniture that will fit your space perfectly.
Trust us, there’s nothing worse than investing in a piece of furniture that isn’t the correct size. Get it right the first time with Living Designs Furniture.
