How to Find the Perfect Sectional

Most people are now aware that online furniture stores offer the best prices on sectionals. But how do you know the sectional is perfect for you if you can’t test it out first? While it is cheaper to buy online, you will want to do some offline activities to make sure you get the best sectional for your home. 

Go to your local furniture store

Even if you are going to be buying your sectional online, going to your local furniture store can be very helpful. The most popular collections and sectional features will be available in their showroom. You can go there to sit on the furniture and see the features in detail so that you know almost exactly what you will be getting, even if you choose a different brand online.

Measure your space and make a template

Although sectionals can vary in size, and modular sofas allow for variation to fit your home, there are some typical sizes for sectionals. Look up some of the most popular sectional dimensions and use them to make templates for your space. You can start with measuring the available floor space for the sectional to narrow down the sizes you try. 

It is a good idea to start with the dimensions you believe will work, and work your way down from there. Most people start out not really understanding how much space is needed for a sectional. You will almost always guess too large and will have to decrease the size until you find the perfect fit. With the extra depth needed for sectionals and the need for walkspace for seating, it is very easy to misjudge what sectionals will actually fit your space.

Determine what you really want

There are a few other things that you should consider carefully before you begin your search. What style is your current living room furniture? Are you going to add a sectional or replace the entire collection? Do you prefer a certain pattern, like floral or stripes? What features do you want? How many seats do you need on a typical day or during parties? 

There are so many different types of sectionals that determining what you want your living room to be as a whole can be very beneficial in narrowing down your choices. There are modular sectionals, one-piece sectionals, two-piece sectionals, and options for extending your seating from an L-shape to a U-shape. 

Once you know what your perfect sectional will be you can shop online to find one that matches your needs. Consider every angle so that you know exactly what you are looking for. Most online furniture stores make it very easy to search for specific furniture collections or sectional features. Narrow your online search by color, pattern, style, number of seats, size, and other specifications.
