Chit-chat hub, movie night hangout—our living rooms are the places where we and our visitors spend the most time, which makes living room furniture one of the most important investments you’ll ever make. Our guide will help you shop for sectionals, sofas, and chairs, and more like a design pro.
Sectionals are a combination of seating parts arranged into an all-in-one seating solution. Here are some of our favorite configurations:
A three-piece sectional may have two one-armed sofa parts joined by a corner, while a five-piece sectional may have two sofa parts, a corner, one armless chair, and a chaise. When you're configuring your sectional, here are some of the blocks you’ll have to play with
