Finding the Right Sectional for Your Home
Choosing the right sectional for your home can change both comfort and functionality. Sectionals offer versatile seating options that can fit a range of spaces, from living rooms to outdoor patios. Whether you’re a homeowner or a designer, this guide will help you find the right sectional for your space.
Is a Sectional Right for Your Space?
Before deciding on a sectional, it’s important to figure out whether it fits your space. Sectionals work best in rooms with enough square footage to allow for easy movement. If the room is too small, a sectional could make the space feel cramped.
Consider how you will use the sectional. For family rooms, sectionals provide enough seating for everyone while maintaining a cozy feel. They can also serve as a divider in open-concept spaces, creating a natural separation between living and dining areas. Sectionals are versatile, making them suitable for a variety of needs, whether you need formal seating or casual lounging.
The Perfect Placing of a Sectional + Styling
Where you place a sectional can change how a room feels. In smaller spaces, placing a sectional against a wall can open up floor space. In larger, open areas, a sectional can define a living area by anchoring the room’s layout. For rooms with a focal point, like a fireplace or TV, position the sectional to face that feature, allowing easy access and comfort.
Styling a sectional is another important step. Adding a few carefully chosen accessories like throw pillows and blankets can make a sectional the centerpiece of the room. Pairing the sectional with a coffee table or rug can tie the space together, while side tables offer functional touches without cluttering the area.
Different Types of Sectionals
There are many types of sectionals to choose from, depending on the layout and look you want to achieve.
-
L-Shaped Sectional
An L-shaped sectional is one of the most common types. It works well in large rooms or open spaces and offers plenty of seating. This layout is ideal for family rooms or spaces designed for entertaining.
-
Chaise Sectional
The chaise sectional includes a chaise lounge built into one side. This design allows for extra relaxation and is perfect for lounging. It works well in both smaller and larger rooms.
-
Curved Sectional
Curved sectionals create a more intimate seating arrangement. This type is great for large, open spaces where you want to encourage conversation. It adds a unique shape to any room while still offering plenty of seating.
-
Modular Sectional
A modular sectional is the most flexible option. It consists of several individual pieces that can be arranged in different configurations. This makes it a great choice for people who like to change their room layouts or need flexibility for various occasions.
-
Reversible Sectional
A reversible sectional allows you to switch the position of the chaise between the left and right sides. This adds versatility, especially in smaller spaces where you may need to reconfigure your room over time.
Customization Options for Your Sectional
When choosing a sectional, customization options are crucial to creating the perfect piece for your home. Many brands, like Rowe, offer a range of customizations that allow you to tailor your sectional to fit your specific needs.
Fabric Choices
You can choose from a variety of fabrics, from durable, stain-resistant options for homes with children and pets to luxurious materials like velvet for a more formal look. The fabric you choose should match the function of the room and your personal style.
Color Options
Sectionals are available in a wide range of colors, making it easy to find one that complements your home’s design. From neutral shades like gray and beige to bold statement colors, the choice of color helps set the tone of your space.
Finishes and Legs
Many sectionals also offer options for finishes, including different leg materials and cushion styles. This allows you to personalize your sectional even more, ensuring that it fits seamlessly into your room.
Not Only for Interiors – Outdoor Patio Sectionals
Sectionals aren’t just for living rooms. Outdoor sectionals are a great addition to patios, decks, and poolside areas, turning outdoor spaces into comfortable lounge areas. Made from weather-resistant materials like wicker, metal, and durable fabrics, these sectionals are designed to withstand the elements while providing comfort.
Outdoor sectionals are perfect for creating a cozy seating area where you can relax with family or entertain guests. They offer the same versatility as indoor sectionals but are made specifically for outdoor living.
Finding the right sectional for your home
depends on your space, needs, and style preferences.
