Small Sectional Sofa
Would you like to provide sufficient seating for guests in your home, but don’t have a great deal of space? Consider putting in a small sectional sofa. It will help you maximize what little room you have, while allowing you to create good, comfortable seating arrangements.
What is great about having a small sectional sofa is not only it provides much more seating space, but will allow you to dictate how the room looks and feels. It offers you the chance to let your own creative juices to flow freely and create a look within a room that is totally unique.
There are a number of different styles available. Just take a look at some of these popular ones.
Here is a long, two piece, low profile model. When putting in these types of living room sectionals you create the illusion of high ceilings. Doing this will cause the eyes to look up, which in turn will divert the attention of the viewer from the fact that you have limited floor space.
These will look best with long, straight, clean lines, which usually means they will be on the firmer due to the tight cover. Furthermore, another key feature of these types of sectionals is a low back support, as their main objective is to free up vertical space. They also have a narrower back, which helps to open up floor space as much as possible by reducing overall depth. Lastly, these will usually have a thin, albeit strong frame that is light in color, to make them appear as if they are floating, which encourages an airy, open concept feel.
This is a compact, three piece living room sectional that includes a love seat, chaise, and ottoman.
It’s quite useful when you have a tiny living space, such as a small studio apartment. We haven’t seen one dwelling where this couldn’t fit. So no matter how confined your place is, you can still create comfortable seating for yourself as well as your guests. This small sectional sofa is extremely versatile. You can choose to group all pieces together to designate a specific area in your home as your living room, or you can spread the pieces across your floor space to open things up a bit and create a living space that flows and feels much bigger than it really is.
Here we have a multi sectional sofa. This is like the above mentioned model, so it has a loveseat, chaise, and ottoman.
However, what makes this one so unique is the ottoman itself is sectional, four equal square pieces. By having a sectional sofa like this, you can choose to group the ottoman together to make one large square like a traditional ottoman, or you can separate the individual sections and scatter them throughout. Or you can arrange them into other configurations such as a straight row, or staggered.
Sometimes it is not the amount, or the lack of square footage that is the issue. Instead, people just don’t have enough storage space. Books, toys, DVDs, all the things that we think are small and don’t take up a lot of space, they add up. You may have a lot of floor space but if you don’t have these things organized or concealed, it can make your home look smaller. If you have more of a storage issue rather than a floor space issue, consider getting a sectional sofa with built in storage space, like the one shown below.
This model has a storage cabinet underneath the ottoman’s cushion. It can be used to put away the odds and ends in the surrounding area, which can make a world of a difference. Some models even have storage space underneath the chaise, which provides two to three times more storage capacity.

Sectional Sleeper Sofa
Are you always having guests spend the night over at your home but you never seem to have beds for them? Are they always having to sleep on the floor? Or your couch? While you would like to put some extra beds into your home to make your guests more comfortable, you really don’t have the extra space to do so. A sectional sleeper sofa would be the perfect solution to your problem. It doubles up as comfortable seating for your living space, and spacious sleeping accommodations when needed.
As well as providing you with an additional sleeping area there are other advantages to be had from owning this kind of living room furniture. Below we take a look at just what some of these other advantages are, as well as some styles which you may be interested in.
As you are able to pull the various sections of the sofa apart it means that you have the ability to manage it any style or manner that you want, whenever you want. Being able to move the pieces of the sofa around allows you to create different setups to accommodate the various needs of your guests.
Another benefit to putting a sectional sleeper sofa in your home is that it offers a great deal more space for visitors to your home to sit on. Even just a 10 feet section of this type of sofa will provide more than enough space for 4 adults to sit comfortably. Plus by being able to move the various parts around, you can determine how much space each of your guests need for seating, and for sleeping when needed.
Here’s a popular style. It comes with two pieces – a love seat and a chaise.
It’s a simple, compact design that can seat about four people in the upright position. If you have guests sleeping over, all you have to do is pull the bottom from the love seat, which should have casters to make it easy to slide out. This type of sectional sleeper sofa should be able to fit about two adults. This style also often comes with storage space underneath chaise cushion for sheets and other sleepware. Accent pillows are usually included. These can be used throughout the day for regular seating, but they are also readily available for your guests should they decide to spend a night.
Some sleeper living room sectionals have a folding bed stored right inside the ottoman.
These are quite nice because they allow for more flexibility in the layout of the sleeping accommodations. If you want, you can slide the ottoman right next to the chaise or love seat to create a larger surface area to sleep on, or if your guests prefer their own personal space you can slide the ottoman away from the rest of the pieces, and one guest can sleep on the pull out bed. Another one of your guests can take the chaise, and another can take the love seat or sofa section.
If you can spare some extra floor space in your living room, consider a recliner sectional sofa.
These are rather larger, featuring wider and longer seating, as well as extra plush cushions. Furthermore they usually offer extras such as a drop table, cup holder, and leg supports. You also get much larger pull out bed, which is usually queen sized.

Microfiber Sectional Sofa
A microfiber sectional sofa may be the perfect solution when you need a new sofa, but have neither a lot of space in your home nor much money to spare. Microfiber sectionals are perhaps the most economical style because microfiber is durable, yet costs less than traditional sofa materials such as genuine leather, suede, and canvas. Furthermore, microfiber is easier to maintain, requiring less effort to clean due to its stain resistant properties. Additionally, microfiber is the same material used to make a wide range of athletic performance apparel, so you will find that it is more comfortable to sit and lay on because it is very breathable and able to wick moisture (sweat).
Since the material is easier for furniture makers to work with, you will notice that microfiber sectionals offer a much wider selection of styles and colors to choose between, from bright primary colors to pastel colors, to earthy rustic colors.
Here are some popular styles that may interest you.
The fabric on some microfiber living room sectionals, like the following model, feels like microsuede.
These are quite nice because you get the plush feeling of microsuede, yet the temperature and moisture regulating benefits of microfiber. One common feature of these types of microfiber sectional sofas is faux leather, for an added touch of elegance. Furthermore, you will often find them calming earthy color schemes that compliment the softer seating which they offer to the user. Overall these give you sophisticated appearances yet at a fraction of the cost of models featuring genuine leather.
Some microfiber sectional sofas have a smoother, stretch fabric which is more common in contemporary models such as the one shown below. Notice the stark difference in the style compared to the microsuede sectional shown earlier.
If you were to sit on one of these you will immediately notice how much more firm it is, due to the fact that the cushion is often foam based rather than poly-fiber based. This denser cushioning helps to create the sharp lines and edges that is typical of contemporary design. And while it may not offer pillowy soft seating, it certainly provides more support and responsiveness, which many of our readera prefer. Furthermore, the tighter and smoother fabric surface allow air to circulate better, so you may like the fact that this provides a lighter and loftier feel. However, the most notable feature would be its rich and vivid color. Just look how much more the red in this sectional jumps at you. Of course, you are not limited to red, this type of microfiber sectional can be found in a wide range of colors. Since the simpler material is easier and cheaper to construct, you can find these types of microfiber sectional sofas in virtually any color.

Leather Sectional Sofa
Living room sectionals are a relatively new style of couch furniture. As such, you would expect them to feature modern design features, and the majority of them do. Such design features often include things like light and durable synthetic fabrics, sleek shapes, and a wide array of colors. However, if you prefer the look of classic style furniture, a leather sectional sofa may offer the touch of timeless enduring beauty that you are looking for.
There are a number of reasons why leather has throughout the centuries been a preferred material to upholster furniture. The obvious advantage is that it has a sophistication and elegance about it that cannot be duplicated by any other material, much less by a cheap synthetic. Furthermore, while furniture companies tout the durabilty and low maintenance requirements of sectionals made with synthetic fabrics, genuine leather sectional sofas are simply far more durable. Yes, they do require frequent treatments to keep the leather nice and pliable but you will find that they are actually more resistant to tearing and staining than sectionals made with synthetic fabrics. Lastly, leather sectional sofas are far more comfortable than their synthetic counterparts, providing better cushion and a suppleness that feels great right against your skin.
Some leather sectional sofas have a very traditional look. The model shown below, for example, offers features such as oversized boxed cushions, natural nailing along the arm panels, and bun accent feet. These will also often have a high gloss finish which feels really soft and smooth. These are usually not very supportive (firm) but instead are really soft and allow the user to sink in comfort.
For a leather sectional sofa with a mix of modern and classic appearances, consider purchasing a tufted model, such as the one shown here.
The embedded buttons found throughout the upholstery are a familiar design feature that you’ll see on old world furnishings. This helps to add more intricate detail as a display of finer craftsmanship, not only visually but also by touch. However, these particular tufted leather sectionals also display some contemporary design features as well, such as their clean straight lines, metal framing, and overall “floating” or “modular” feel. Furthermore, they offer enhanced support. That is, instead of having seperate boxed cushions, they usually have a single, non articulated firm cushion lining the entire surface, which offers a more solid foundation across the underside and backside. In addition to being a bit firmer, sitting on these tufted models produces a rather nice massaging effect due to the tighter grid like stitching on the cushions.
