What is a sectional sofa?
A sectional sofa will divide the open-plan spaces in your home without shutting off a section entirely. Another thing that makes sectional sofas great is that they can be taken apart from each other. In other words, you’re able to add seating sections in different parts of your living room by dividing the sofas from each other. They are very functional and versatile.Focal point focus
Use your sofa to face the focal point. For example, allow the sofa to face the TV, making watching TV comfortable for all seated on the sofa.The living room size and the sofa size matters
When it comes to your living space’s size, you want to choose a sofa that will complement the area and not overwhelm it. There are many sizes to sectional sofas, and some only contain three sections.Try to buy a sofa that will fit in the living room. It shouldn’t be more significant than your lounge as this may give the space a feeling of clutter and “stuffiness.” The same applies to choosing a bulky and stuffed sectional sofa, which can also make the area look smaller. Simple lines and playing on “less is more” is always a good option unless you have plenty of room to work with.
Placement and flow
Our minds make sense of what we see, yet you should be cautious if something doesn't register as correct. For example, if your sectional sofa faces with it’s back to the entrance door, it will give the illusion of being blocked off and uninviting. However, placing the sofa's front in front of an entrance door changes that “unwelcome feeling” to a positive; I missed your type of “come on in” feeling.Leave the walls out of it.
When it comes to sectional sofa placing, it’s best not to push it up against the walls. If you have enough space, you can place the sofa somewhere in the middle of the living room floor and add furnishings like a coffee table and a rug. By doing this middle placement instead, it will drive home a cozy, comfy feeling.
