Compact Sectional/Modular Sofa?

2 years ago

Hi there,

Can someone suggest a couple options for a compact sectional or modular sofa? Many of the sofas we've looked at have larger dimensions than what we want. We have a space limitation with one of the walls being only 81" wide, and we don't want the sofa to extend beyond that wall. We'd like to place the sofa aligning with the yellow and green lines below, and would like to avoid a chaise if possible.

Thanks.

There are instances when a sectional makes sense, and truly is the only thing that makes sense- but they are pretty rare.

You will give up much versatility to get what may become a useless corner piece, and end with an armless sofa UNLESS care is exercised.........

Why? Which of the three below is more "forever useful" should you want to move or rearrange?

Here:

Never "stuck" ! It's forever a perfectly great sofa,

in a useful size and proportion, and an easy to place ottoman, leaves space for some cool standing lamps as well.

THIS below......?

At least you'd have a short useful couch......albeit loveseat of sorts, and it would HAVE its arms

it is NOT! THIS : ( BELOW)

Up to you, but all sectionals tend to have a price to that "cuddle corner" : )

Sort by:Oldest

Look at Room and Board. They have some nicely scaled sectionals. Good quality and lots of upholstery options for custom if you can't find a ready made option you like. Prepare yourself for all the 'I hate sectionals' posts. I LOVE my sectional!

I actually like that a lot. The color is light, as we wanted, and it would fit the space. Can you provide the make/model so I can look it up? Thanks.

Finding something with the right dimensions shouldn't be too hard, but take time to research quality, construction and materials not only for comfort but long term durability.

My daughter spent a lot of time researching and ended up buying from Cozey, which she loves. It’s a Canadian company but has a U.S website. Each piece is an individual section, easy to lift/move (my daughter did on her own) and easy to put together/they lock in place. You can design based on needs and website is very comprehensive.

Check out IKEA. Sectionals - Affordable Sectional Couches & Sofas - IKEA

Add a matching large ottoman you can push up against the sofa. And also use as a coffee table. 10 ywar warranty. Removable washable covers. Pocketed coil springs in the seat cushions will retain shape over time better than just foam.

If you like the sofa that Slate Custom Interior showed but you don't want to purchase it from them for $4,272, you can find it for much more reasonable prices elsewhere.

It is the Alder & Tweed Clayton Sectional. You can look up local retailers near you here. Someone might have it in stock that you could sit on it and try it out. https://alderandtweedfurniture.com/product/lafclaytonsectionalintweedalabasteranddriftwoodfinish/

A google shop search showed it here for $1800 - and other places for $2879

(I'm really surprised how infrequently we come across instances like this on the discussion board where an answer is someone trying to sell their own product. Why is that? Are folks flagging it as spam? It is unusual and appreciated how not self-promotional this space is.)

They make apartment sized furniture and have sectionals with reversible chaises. You might consider looking at one of those options for a smaller piece of furniture to fit in your space.

I found that this modular couch reddit thread was very helpful in finding a modular sectional sofa.
