How to Make a Leather Sectional Sofa Work in Your Space

When you are looking for family-friendly seating, a sectional sofa is the way to go. However, the size of a sectional can make it seem challenging to work in your space. Don’t let the size of this versatile seating option keep you from adding one to your living room or family room. From taking accurate measurements, to choosing the right sectional layout, regardless of the size of your space, a sectional will fit right in.


Can a Sectional Fit in My Living Room?

This is the first question most people ask when thinking about buying a sectional sofa. You don’t need a huge amount of space to pull off a sectional. With all the sizes, styles, and layout options out there, you won’t have much trouble finding the perfect sectional for your space.
If you have a smaller space, look for a sectional like the Leather Braxton Customizable 4-Seat Chaise Sofa from Lexington Couture. This 4-seat leather sectional sofa boasts a contemporary style with large track arms, nailhead trim, and tapered legs. Using a single piece of furniture in a smaller space creates an anchoring effect. It offers one continuous seating option, making the space feel less cluttered. As you experiment with different ways to arrange your sectional, you can switch up its placement in your space.


Consider How You Will Use Your Sectional Sofa

How you use your room and sectional sofa will affect the layout you choose. Asking yourself these questions will help you choose the best sectional for your space.
How much seating do you need in the space? If your family is small and you don’t entertain a lot, choosing a smaller sectional may be the right option for you. If you have a large family, or often have friends over, choose a larger sectional. Also, take into consideration any additional seating you will have in the space.
How will you use the sectional? Determine what type of activities you plan to have in the space. Do you want as many seats as possible to face the TV? Will the space be used mainly to sit and chat? Will you be lounging, taking a nap, or sitting up? Choose a sofa that will best facilitate the way you wish to use your sectional sofa.
Do you need additional features? If your sectional will also be used as sleeping accommodations for guests, you may need a sleeper sofa. If you know you want a lounge in your sectional, try the Natuzzi Editions Energia Contemporary 7 Pc Power Reclining Sectional. It provides everything you’d want for ultimate relaxation. This sleek, modern sectional easily seats five and will quickly become the central hang out spot in your home.
Do you have kids or pets? If you have kids or pets, you’ll want to choose the fabric of your sectional carefully. A leather sectional sofa cleans up easily, can withstand the wear and tear of pets, and can last for generations.
What is the traffic flow of your family room? This is an important thing to think about when placing your sectional in your space. Select a sectional that gives people easy access to the seating without slowing the flow of traffic - for example, a chaise sticking out into the path of traffic.
What’s your style? Like other pieces of furniture, sectionals come in almost every style, from casual to sleek to rustic or modern. Take into consideration the general style of your family room to find a sectional sofa that goes with the look.

Tips for Placing Your Sectional Sofa

It may take a few tries to get the placement of your sectional sofa just right. These tips will help you find the perfect layout of your sectional sofa. If your sectional sticks out into the center of the room, it might interrupt the traffic flow of the room. If you place the sectional away from the wall, it will help define your space. If you can, float the sofa in the middle of the room, this will let people walk around the sofa with ease.

Give Yourself Plenty of Options

Look for a sectional that gives you plenty of flexibility to rearrange it within your space. The size may feel limiting, but you’ll get used to it in next to no time. Eventually, you may want to rearrange how you’ve laid out your space.
