This type of sofa is suitable for seating many people at the same time. As the name suggests, it is split into sections.

One with two sections is L-shaped while one with three sections is U-shaped.

The former can also be paired with other seating arrangements. A centre table is highly recommended along with a sectional sofa. Due to the size and nature of the sofa, it is difficult to come across variety in terms of the base material used. If you entertain guests frequently or have a large family and adequate space to host a sectional sofa, this can be the perfect fit for your home.

Sofas are one of the most versatile pieces of furniture in terms of design, structure, size and utility. Compared to other living room items such as tables, chairs or even desks, the number of options for sofas is significantly higher. They can be two or three seaters, printed or monochromatic, fluffy or firm and so on. This is why one needs to pay attention to certain important criteria that need to be kept in mind while choosing a sofa. These are:

  • Space available
  • Estimated seating capacity required
  • Cost of the sofa
  • Colour scheme of the walls, flooring and other furniture
  • Type of fabric to be used for the sofa
  • Uses of the sofa
  • Amount of natural and artificial light to which the sofa is exposed
  • Cleaning and maintenance – frequency, difficulty and cost
  • Height of the sofa

Once you have taken a stance regarding each factor that plays a role in deciding which sofa is good for your home, it is time to start exploring styles and patterns in order to zero in on your dream sofa for your dream home. Here are seven types of sofas that you can try…. And a pretty cool visual guide awaits at the end.
