Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Sectional Couch
A sectional couch can be a great investment for your home. It creates a beautiful anchor in the space and provides plenty of seating. However, before you decide to make this commitment there are a few things you should consider to be sure this is the right way to furnish your living room. Keep reading to discover whether or not a sectional couch is the right fit for your home and lifestyle.
Will a sectional couch create or block walkways? If your home has an open floor plan then a sectional can be beneficial as it defines the space, naturally creating walkways. However, if a sectional couch is going to interrupt the flow of traffic in your living room then a sofa is likely a better choice.
Do you rearrange your furniture often? While there are so many benefits to a sectional they aren’t as versatile as sofas. They’re more difficult to move and require more floor space. So if you often get the urge to refresh your home by rearranging then create the look and feel of a sectional couch with two sofas and the flexibility to rearrange when inspiration strikes.
Do you like to recline? If you like to unwind by putting your feet up then you should definitely consider a sectional with reclining seats. There are endless options when it comes to custom reclining sectionals. Power footrests and headrests, consoles with cup holders, USB ports and even heat and massage options are available. Everyone gets a reclining seat with a power reclining sectional.
Think about how the space functions. What are your seating needs? If you’re having regular family movie nights then a sectional couch is a great place for everyone to get cozy and enjoy some family time. Add an upholstered ottoman to up the comfort level.
Are you ready to update the entire space? Since sectionals have a larger footprint, a bigger rug is often necessary to anchor the space correctly. Also, consider the shape of your coffee table. A round or square table or ottoman typically works best, as it allows for easier movement around the sectional.
