Frequently Asked Questions About Sectionals
Why Choose a Sectional for Your Living Room?
A sectional is one of the most versatile and comfortable choices for any interior design style. Whether your home leans modern, traditional, or contemporary, a sectional can easily adapt to your layout and lifestyle.
Many shoppers love the sleek look of leather sectionals, while fabric sectionals offer a softer, cozier feel. Compared to traditional living room sets, sectionals provide a streamlined, space-saving design that brings comfort and style together in one piece.
For extra relaxation, reclining sectionals add adjustable seating that's perfect for movie nights, guests, or everyday lounging. With plenty of seating and modern comfort features, it's easy to see why sectionals are a favorite for today's living rooms.
Why Are Sectional Sofas So Popular?
Sectional sofas are popular due to their versatility, ability to maximize seating, and suitability for both large and small spaces. They can be found as part of affordable living room furniture collections, offering great value for the seating they provide. Small sectionals are perfect for apartments or cozy living rooms, while larger configurations can accommodate big families or frequent entertaining. Their adaptable design makes them a favorite for homeowners looking for functional, stylish seating options.
What Is the Difference Between a Sofa and a Sectional? What About Modulars?
The key difference is their shape. A sofa is a single, straight piece of furniture with a set number of seats, typically designed for compact or straightforward seating arrangements. A sectional, on the other hand, consists of multiple connected pieces arranged in an L or U shape, offering more seating and versatility for larger spaces.
While sectionals provide more seating and are ideal for maximizing space in larger living rooms, they usually come in pre-defined configurations that cannot be easily rearranged. For those seeking even more flexibility, modular sectionals allow for reconfiguring the individual sections to suit different room layouts or seating needs.
What Furniture Should You Pair with a Sectional Sofa?
When pairing furniture with a sectional, it's important to balance the room and avoid overcrowding. An accent chair can provide additional seating without competing for space, while a recliner adds extra comfort and versatility. A well-placed coffee table is also essential for functionality, providing a convenient surface for drinks, décor, and other essentials. Consider the room's layout and make sure there's enough space for easy movement around the sectional and other furniture pieces.
Where Should a Sectional Be Placed with a TV?
For the best viewing experience, place your sectional sofa facing the TV or media center at a comfortable distance. If your sectional has a chaise or reclining sections, position them where they offer the clearest view of the screen. Make sure there's enough space between the TV and sectional for comfortable viewing, typically about 7-10 feet for an average-sized TV. You can also arrange the sectional in an L-shape to create a cozy TV-watching nook.
What Is the Average Life of a Sectional?
A high-quality sectional sofa typically lasts around 7-15 years, depending on the materials used and how well it's maintained. Regular cleaning, rotating cushions, and addressing minor repairs promptly can help extend the life of your sectional. Investing in durable fabrics or leather can also contribute to its longevity.

The cost of a sectional sofa can vary widely based on size, materials, and features. At Rooms To Go, you can find sectionals under $1,500 that offer great value without sacrificing style or comfort.
