Why a sectional suits a living room
Sectional sofas create seating that fits corners and opens up the center of the room. They work well for families and for people who often host guests because they provide continuous seating and a defined conversation area.
Choosing the right sectional
Size and layout
Start with measurements: room dimensions, doorways and the path of movement. Decide between L-shaped, U-shaped or modular pieces based on space and how many seats you need.
- Measure wall length and clearance for walking paths.
- Allow at least 30–40 cm between sofa and coffee table.
- Check that pieces can fit through doors and hallways.
Fabric and fill
Choose a fabric that fits your lifestyle: tightly woven or performance fabrics for heavy use, natural fibers for a softer look. Consider removable covers for easier cleaning.
Placement and styling
Anchor the sectional with a rug that extends beyond its front legs. Use side tables or a low console to balance the back if the sectional floats in the room.
- Use layered lighting: overhead, task and accent.
- Add a mix of cushions for comfort and a throw for texture.
- Keep circulation clear on at least one side.
Care and longevity
Vacuum regularly, rotate cushions, and treat spills promptly. Follow manufacturer cleaning guidelines and schedule professional cleaning as recommended.
