Sectional Sofas

1. Spatial Relations 101: Carefully measure the area you've reserved for your new sectional sofa. It won't do to bring home a lunker only to discover it doesn't fit. Likewise, make sure to choose a large enough sofa to fill the space. With a little help from your tape measure, you'll have your ideal sectional in no time.

2. Sectional sofas are designed with space conservation in mind. Avoid adding other couches, loveseats or chairs to the mix if you want to preserve the openness of your space. As always, however, we encourage thinking outside the box - if it feels right, go for it.

3. When furnishing a smaller space, the natural inclination will be toward a smaller sectional sofa. A small scale sectional sofa typically measures the same as a small scale sofa or loveseat plus one or two chairs. This will often add to somewhere between 120 and 126 inches, though up to 157 inches may be acceptable.

4. You have several options in selecting your new sectional sofa: regular, reclining, chaise, curved and sleeper sectionals. Chaise sectionals are perfect for lounging about. Curved sectionals offer a completely different look with their rounded, organic design. Sleepers offer a hidden full-sized bed for guests and sleepy movie-watchers. This winning array will see to your every need.

5. One of the benefits of a sectional sofa is that it can be pulled apart. This grants you versatility in the arrangement of your furniture scheme with maximum ease. Get creative; we encourage it.

6. An obvious but important perk of the sectional sofa is the added seating space. This is perfect for families or friends who want to sit together rather than on their own isolated little islands. All that space is great for stretching out and dozing. Use it well.

7. Another great thing about sectional sofas is that they save you shopping time. Not only will you avoid going through the trouble of choosing and buying a loveseat and chair, but you won't have to worry about finding space for them.
