Gorgeous Velvet Sectional Sofas to Set Your Style
A sectional sofa is a versatile piece of furniture because of many different reasons. It will never go out of style and it’s the kind of furniture that you can play around with to get the best out of your space and make sure that your living room look exactly the way you want it to. But there are many more benefits to choosing a sectional couch, especially one made from a material as pleasant to the touch as velvet is. Are you ready to explore this world together with us?
Benefits of a Sectional Sofa
Sectional sofas are just darn right comfortable. You can do anything from having coffee with your friends to lounging and reading a book. It is this precise versatility that makes sectionals a purchase worth making despite all the new interior design trends that focus on minimalism. So, what are some of the other reasons that make sectional shopping a good idea?
- Despite them being pretty big, sectional sofas offer extra room space. Their design will help them fill empty living room corners and you can play around with the sections to incorporate them in other pieces of furniture. The chaise can be placed separately from the sofa itself, which helps maximize space.
- With a sectional sofa, you can benefit from additional seating arrangements, which is really beneficial when you have limited room space to work with. A sectional sofa can accommodate a lot of people at once since you get an additional corner seat.
- A sectional sofa translates into more options in terms of room design because of the adaptability of this piece of furniture. By simply moving the sectional layout, you can change the appearance of a room. This is also achieved easily considering that the individual sections are easier to move around and this can likely be done by a single person.
- In case on the parts gets damaged, it should be easier to replace. Not only that, but replacing damaged parts should be more cost-effective. For instance, most sectional sofas come with removable cushions that can be individually replaced.
Sectional Sofa Designs
When it comes to sectional sofas, you have a lot of options in terms of design, and knowing what those options are going to help you choose one that’s more suitable to your room style:
- L-shaped sectional sofas basically look like two couches merged into one. These sofas are typically a fusion of a three-cushion style with a two-cushion style, but they can also be larger. They are extremely versatile and are perfect for those of you that want to fill large empty corners of a room.
- Curved sectionals have very elegant silhouettes which make them a piece of art more than an actual sofa. They are not that suitable for small spaces because the design makes it difficult for you to flush them against a wall, which means they will have to be placed closer to the center of a room.
- Chaise sectionals are basically regular sofas with an ottoman attached to them. You can better visualize these if you think about them as L-shaped sofas that have an ottoman replacing the part with the least seating space. In terms of placement, you can play around with chaise sectionals pretty much as you would with a regular L-shaped sectional.
- U-shaped sectional are great for people with plenty of room space, as this is the design that offers the most seating space out of all the ones at your disposal. Since there are two arms facing each other, U-shaped sectionals are excellent pieces of furniture for those with a lot of guests, as they allow for more intimate conversations where people can face each other.
- Sleepers are a category of sectionals that allow for a pretty comfortable sleeping position. However, they are not designed to permanently replace a bed, since the cushioning of such a sofa isn’t suited to offer good support for your body. They are, however, suitable for situations where you have a guest crashing in for the night and can serve you well on some night where you just fall asleep in front of the TV.
- Modular sofas have sections that allow you to play around with multiple pieces and achieve a configuration suitable for your room. Some modular can have up to five pieces and, unlike a regular sectional (which allows you connect the pieces in a limited number of ways), modular sofas are more versatile.
Choosing a Sectional Sofa
Now that we know what your options are, it’s time to check out this list of tips that will help you even further in the process of choosing a piece of furniture that’s right for your needs:
- When you’ve narrowed your choice down to a chaise or an L-shaped sectional, there is one important question you have to ask yourself: do you want a left-facing or a right-facing sofa? This is important because choosing the wrong option might limit the versatility you have in terms of placement.
- Measurements can go a long way in making sure you have the required amount of space for the sofa you’re thinking of purchasing. If you find it easier, you can make a cardboard cutout of the dimensions of the sofa and place it on the floor to make sure that space will be properly organized after you place your new sectional. Alternatively, you can measure the free space you have at your disposal and choose a couch that matches those measurements.
- One thing that a lot of people don’t take into consideration when it comes to L-shaped and U-shaped sectionals is the fact that the corner seat will most likely have very limited leg space. If your particular living room configuration will limit leg space for that seat, you might want to consider opting for a rounder style.
