A sectional turns one corner into a full lounge. More seats than a sofa, smaller footprint than two, it invites everyone to stretch out without eating your floor space.
Why buy a sectional?
Extra wide chaise, hidden sleeper or simple L-shape—one piece adds three extra seats and a place to prop your feet. Works in large basements or tight apartments when you tuck it against a wall.
Which shape fits?
L-shape gives max seating for corners, U-shape creates a conversation pit, curved softens a big open room. Sketch your room first, then pick the configuration that leaves traffic lanes free.
Left or right chaise?
Stand facing the sectional. If one side touches a wall, put the chaise on the open side. If it floats, point the chaise toward the TV or the view you want to face.
Sectional vs two sofas?
Choose a sectional when you want one focal piece and extra deep seats. Pick two sofas if you need flexible arrangements or separate rooms later. Tight space? Grab an apartment-size sectional—same form, smaller footprint.
Delivery check
Measure every doorway, stair landing and hallway. Sectionals break into pieces, but each box still needs a clear path. Confirm the measurements and you’re ready to relax the moment it arrives.
