Sectional Sofas and Small Spaces – How to Make it Work
If you don’t think a sectional sofa can work in a small space, think again. Sectional sofas are incredibly versatile. The key in a small space is to use that versatility to your advantage.
Here’s how you can do it:
1. Think outside the box
Just because a sectional sofa is set up one way in the store doesn’t mean it has to be set up the same way in your house. If that L-shape won’t work in your small space, envision some other ways to arrange the sections so that everything fits.
Maybe you can set the sofa up so that certain sections are separate. For example, many chaises can sit on their own, as a lounge chair of sorts. Remember, there’s no rule that says you have to put all of the sections together in one place!
When it comes to making a sectional sofa work in a small space, think of yourself as Goldilocks. You’re looking for an arrangement that’s “just right”.
2. Be on the lookout for curves
Sectional sofas with curvy edges work better in smaller spaces. Since they don’t have sharp corners or hard angles, like traditional couches, they flow better, and they blend into the room around them.
3. Never underestimate the power of multi-tasking
Lots of sectional sofas are specially-geared to small spaces. In fact, many of them come with built-in storage underneath and sofa beds so that you can make the most out of the area. With a multi-tasking sectional sofa, you don’t have to make room for organizational tools and furniture.
4. Don’t just measure… duplicate!
If you spot a sectional sofa that you like, measure it and re-create the dimensions at home. But don’t just throw a tape measure on the floor and call it a day. Instead, grab a few chairs that match the dimensions of the sofa, so that you can see exactly how the sofa will fit in your room.
5. Say yes to the chaise
If you don’t think that your small space has room for a sectional sofa with a chaise, think again. Yes, a chaise takes up some room, but it also provides extra space so that your guests have a place to sit.
If you really want the ultimate in versatility, get what’s called a “floating chaise” – which is really an ottoman that can be moved around and looks like a chaise when it’s pushed up against the rest of the sofa.
