Is Sectional Seating Right for Your Room?
Sectional seating has waxed and waned in popularity for the last couple of decades. As the "rules" of decorating become more personal and flexible, the sectional sofa has become a standard seating option to the delight of savvy decorators and homeowners.
The Benefits of Sectional Seating
One of the biggest benefits of sectional seating is the cozy, guest-friendly feeling it offers. With a sectional, guests don't have to feel awkward about choosing where to sit; these pieces are flexible and welcoming. And with an ottoman to go along, guests can feel comfortable putting their feet up.
Also, sectionals help create a uniform look for your room. Instead of having to coordinate this year's sofa with last year's loveseat and a couple of hand-me-down chairs, sectional seating offers a streamlined style.
Choosing Sectional Sofas and Couches
When choosing sectional seating, there are a couple of key factors to think about. First, choose a fabric type. Microfiber is very popular because it has a luxe yet casual feel. Even better, most microfiber fabrics are stain-resistant, so it only takes a bit of soap and water to clean up spills and drips.
Leather sectionals are another great option. They're also stain-resistant and stylish, but you will have to care for them properly. Also, keep in mind that with leather, you tend to get what you pay for. Rich, supple leathers will cost more, but they're also more likely to last for years of wear.
When choosing a sectional, you'll also want to think about the size. If your room is small, consider a sectional that's composed of two loveseat pieces with a corner. On the other hand, if you've got a large, open room to tackle, consider a sectional sofa that features a chaise and extra pieces. And if you think you'll be moving or rearranging the furniture soon, you'll probably want to find a sectional that offers many pieces you can custom order; this way, you can add in or replace pieces--for example, switching the direction of the sofa.as needed.
