TOV Sectional Couches

Sectional couches create a comfortable, inviting space for conversation, entertainment, or relaxing with family. Typically made in an L-shape or U-shape, these modular couches feature multiple connected sections that form a unified seating area. Depending on your layout, you can choose a sectional with equal-length sides, one longer side, or a chaise lounge for extra legroom.

Sectionals work well in large or small spaces. In spacious living rooms, they create a natural gathering spot. In smaller areas, they can replace a separate sofa and loveseat, saving space while still providing plenty of seating.

Choosing the Right Sectional

Before buying a sectional, consider your room layout and how you plan to use the space. Two key terms to know are Right Arm Facing (RAF) and Left Arm Facing (LAF). These indicate which side the arm is on when you’re looking at and facing the sectional. 

Measure your space carefully and account for pathways, doorways, and other furniture before purchasing. For open floor plans, consider placing your sectional in a central spot to define the living room area. If you’re furnishing a cozier room, try a model with a chaise or storage options to maximize space and comfort.

Versatile, Modular Design

One of the biggest advantages of sectional sofas is their flexibility. You can rearrange the pieces to suit your layout or adapt to a new home. No matter your living room layout, there’s a sectional for every need and style.

When purchasing a sectional couch, you’ll need to know what design style you’re looking for. For modern living rooms, low-profile sectionals with clean lines will create a contemporary feel. For styling traditional or family spaces, try overstuffed cushions and durable fabrics for a cozier, timeless look.

Sectional Couch FAQs

Why choose a sectional for your living room?
A sectional offers flexible, comfortable seating that adapts to your layout. Sectionals provide plenty of room for family and guests, and are the ideal setup for entertaining or relaxing. Many sectional designs include a chaise or recliner for extra comfort.

Why are sectional couches so popular?
Sectionals are popular because they’re practical and stylish at the same time (a major win in furniture design). Sectionals can fill a large space or tuck neatly into a corner, and they come in endless styles and configurations. You can even find modular designs that let you rearrange the pieces whenever you want a fresh layout.

What’s the difference between a sofa and a sectional? What about modulars?
A sofa is a single piece of furniture, while a sectional is made up of several connected sections, like a sofa paired with a chaise or corner seat. Modular sectionals take that idea even further, allowing you to add or remove sections to change the shape or size of your setup however you like.

What furniture should you pair with a sectional couch?
Sectionals pair beautifully with a coffee table, a few end tables, and a soft area rug to define the space. Add an ottoman for extra seating or a pop of texture. Or, try a floor lamp or side lamp nearby to make the whole setup feel warmer and more welcoming.

Where should a sectional be placed with a TV?
For the best view of your TV from your sectional, position the longer side of your sectional so it faces the TV directly. Leave enough space for easy movement around the room, and try to avoid blocking windows or doorways. In an open floor plan, a sectional can help define the TV or entertainment area without the need for walls.

What’s the average life of a sectional?
Most high-quality sectionals last between seven and fifteen years, depending on how they’re made and how heavily they’re used. Frames built from hardwood and cushions with high-density foam tend to hold up longest. Regular cleaning and occasional rotation help keep them looking new.

Do sectional couches come apart?
Yes, most sectionals are modular and designed to come apart easily. Each piece connects securely, but you can separate them for cleaning, rearranging, or moving. Modular sectionals allow you to add or remove sections to change up your layout. 

How do I choose the right sectional shape for my room?
Choosing the right sectional shape depends on your living space and how you plan to use it. L-shaped sectionals are great for corners or smaller living rooms, while U-shaped designs are perfect for big spaces where you often host. Consider traffic flow and your room’s focal point (like a TV, fireplace, or big window) to find the best fit.

What coffee table shape works best with a sectional?
It depends on the sectional you choose and the rest of your decor. A rectangular coffee table complements the lines of most sectionals, while a round or oval table softens the look and creates better flow. Leave about 18 to 24 inches between the sectional and the table so it’s easy to move around.
