This East Hampton beach house's living room shows a perfectly placed white slipcover sectional. It sits in the center of the room with a square chrome frame coffee table, two slipcover club chairs and two ottomans for lots of flexible seating. This is a great set up for those large gatherings.
Here are some examples of all the wonderful choices available from http://www.ourboathouse.com/
1. Chaise or Not
A chaise lounge on your sofa must be the main
factor in deciding where to place your sofa. It should be
out of the way to avoid tripping or having to walk
around it to sit. Ideally, place chaises out of the way, such as against
a wall or outside walking areas.
2. Placement in Room
Believe it or not, the middle of the room may actually be the
best place for a sectional sofa. Sectionals are often larger and
deeper than other sofas, placing your sofa in the middle of the room
will enable you to use an otherwise open space.
3. Keep it Together
While you may be tempted to separate the pieces of your sectional
sofa, so it will fit better in the room, doing so will only create an
awkward looking room. The sofa pieces are intended to be
attached, separating them result in there not being an end on one half
of the unattached piece. This will look unfinished and as though you
were unsure of how to properly place the sofa. It is best to
keep the sofa together and intact.
4. Center the Sofa Around a Coffee Table
A sectional sofa is larger, you should make
sure that each seat is equally comfortable. Centering the furniture
around a coffee table will show that you have considered each seat’s
comfort and access in your decorating. The coffee table you choose does
not have to be particularly large, but instead could be narrow and long
to accommodate the entire sofa.
Also, do not overlook the possible need to place end tables at either
or both ends of the sofa. These seats are often the furthest away from
the coffee table but also the most utilized. Therefore, it may be wise
to put a small table to accommodate drinks or lamps.
Now
that you know the rules, you have many options on style, size and
layout. Don't forget to measure your space to find the perfect
sectional. Have fun shopping.
