Are you looking for a way to upgrade your living room to the next level? One of the very best options is a sectional sofa. A sectional sofa consists of two or more sections, allowing for a modular design and including options such as chaise lounges.
Sectional sofas are extremely versatile to fit your living room and provide the best seating. Here are some great reasons to choose a sectional sofa for the ultimate upgrade.
Maximized Seating Space
Because sectionals can be L-shaped or U-shaped, they maximize seating space within the same area. For example, if you put two sofas or a sofa and a loveseat in a corner, you can seat five people. A sectional can easily seat seven in the same space.
This makes sectionals ideal for large families and entertaining guests. Because you can have more people sitting closer together, sectionals encourage conversation and community, or work well for large groups watching a TV show or movie or playing a multi-player video game.
U-shaped sectionals can produce a conversation pit effect that helps share stories and ideas, especially when combined with a low central table for snacks and drinks.
An L-shaped sectional that takes up less space also allows more room for loveseats and accent chairs, further increasing available seating and improving the flow of smaller rooms.
Enhanced Comfort
Sectionals almost feel like they are synonymous with comfort, creating that soft, sprawl-out-and-enjoy-your-time kind of vibe for your home. They often feature deep seats as well as plush cushions, and many are made with quiet, sinuous spring construction. Many feature a chaise lounge or you can add a matching ottoman.
Quality sectionals have high-density foam cushioning and pocket coil seat springs to maintain a comforting feel over years. Included, matching pillows help create a soft space, or you can add complementary or colorful ones to bring everything together.
The corner space on sectionals is great for curling up with a book, your laptop, or your favorite show, and reversible chaise lounges allow for more versatile seating or a more visually open space. Because there’s more space, people won’t be crammed onto the couch.
Enjoy a great seat for movie night, game day, and all other occasions.
Stylish and Modern Appeal
Sectionals are often seen as more modern and are definitely a fan favorite right now. You can choose the right style and color for your space. Select a dark color to enhance mood, or a lighter shade to make the space and the seating area seem bigger.
Finding pet-friendly sectional couches with fabric that is comfortable AND durable is important if you have pets that tend to want to join you on the couch. It’s not hard to find upholstery that is stain-resistant and can take anything your household throws at it – StainGard™ fabrics repel dirt, oil, water, and other liquids to prevent unsightly blemishes.
You can find the ideal model to fit your home and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Sectionals also come with style accents such as herringbone fabric, round bun feet, and nailhead trim to reflect a distinctive style that complements any kind of decor. They can be a centerpiece or a blank canvas to add your own style to through throw cushions, rugs, and other colorful accents.
Investment in Longevity
A quality sectional can last for many years. Look for sectionals that are built with durable fabric, especially if you have pets or children. Look for a sturdy framework that won’t sag over time. Above all, look for sectionals that have been rigorously tested and have a manufacturer’s warranty to help protect your investment.
One advantage of sectionals is that if the worst happens and part of the sectional is damaged, you may be able to replace only the damaged part. If warranty repairs are needed, you can keep some seating while waiting for the damaged section to come back.
Another advantage is that sectionals can be reconfigured. When you move, you can adjust the sectional to fit your new space. With very large sofas, there is a risk that they won’t suit your new home. Sectionals are much more versatile, and they are also easier for movers to handle as they can be broken down into smaller segments. When disassembled, these sectionals fit through narrow doorways and tight corridors easily.
You can take your sectional with you through life’s changes.
Perfect for Open-Plan Living
A U-shaped sectional defines and separates a seating/TV-watching area from a dining area. It makes a great visual barrier to define the living area. This makes larger sectionals the perfect choice for open-plan homes as well as apartments and condominiums.
The sectional can be positioned to enhance and direct flow and make the room more usable. Choose lighter colors to keep the open feel. U-shaped sectionals come in a variety of sizes to suit different spaces. You can also use an L-shaped sectional if it makes more sense for your space.
These sectionals are also great for open finished basements if you need a way to separate the home theater from the game room without putting in walls or dividers. They send a message that clarifies what the area is used for while being practical and comfortable.
Adding a sectional to your living space is a great investment for the future. It will increase available seating, help define your living space, and be both stylish and comfortable. Bush Home has some of the best sectionals out there and they can help you with stylish options to fit your space.
