Do you have the space for a sofa sectional?

Redecorating a home can be fun, but challenging. Especially if your family has grown and you need a bigger space. When you are considering whether or not to replace your sofa, consider a few things. What type of furniture will help your family to be comfortable, and is style or comfortability more important?

When more seating is needed in a living space people generally would choose a sofa sectional. Sectional Sofas are great because you have comfortable seating that will allow you to spread out if you have people over or a large family. So let’s look at some sofa sectional alternatives and decide whether a classic sofa or sectional is right for your family.

Sectional vs. Sofa

The living room furniture you select really depends upon your personal style. If you want more of a sleek, modern room, you might go with a sofa. If you choose a sofa then remember to be balanced and keep comfort in mind as well.

Too often you find a stylish sofa and it looks great, but when you sit down it's not well-made and very uncomfortable. On the other hand sofa’s can be the focal point of a room and still be a great choice for lounging and watching your favorite tv show.

Sectionals will give your room an inviting and relaxed atmosphere and are family-friendly. However, this doesn’t mean you have to cut back on style. Modern sofa sectionals come in many different fabrics and textures. So if you're looking for style and comfort and you have the space this might be the right choice for you.

Sectionals come in many different designs depending on the needs of your sitting area. To create the perfect sectional start with a love seat or three-seat sofa. Next, decide if you want an armless chair or a corner sofa. If you want more of a lounging sofa choose a chaise.

TIP: When ordering a sofa be sure to have a plan on how it would look in your space. Remember to select left-arm or right arm depending on how your sofa will be situated in your living space.

Sofa Sectional Alternatives

Sofa sectionals are a great way to add seating, but it’s not the only way. For example, suppose you decide to purchase a sofa, but you need additional seating. Then, decorating with accent chairs is a perfect way to add style and more seating.

Decorate your accent chair with a coordinating ottoman or footstool, which will allow you to put your feet up on those days when you need to relax. Poufs will also offer additional seating that can be moved to other rooms if necessary.

Design the perfect piece of furniture

Slipcover furniture is excellent since it allows you to design your sofa or sectional just the way you want it. Choose your fabric and even your seat cushions and back cushions. Most slipcover sofa’s come with pillows. Select a material that will harmonize well with your sofa.

A slipcover sofa will last you for years, and when it’s time to replace your slipcover sectional or sofa, simply order a new slipcover for a brand new sofa.

Home accents for the perfect living space

No matter your style, home accents will add aesthetics to your space, making your living space feel warm and inviting. Have you ever been in a decorated area, and it seems to be missing something? Typically, it’s the accent pieces that bring a room together. In addition, add a coffee table, end tables, and accent pieces that represent who you are. Finally, a well-selected rug, curtains, and table lamps will help to give your room a color theme that will set it apart from the rest.
