Define a Space 

The L-shape of a sectional means it can be both fully inside a space, while also defining the space. A sectional can create a division between the living room and dining room, if needed, or simply create a cozy living room space within a larger living room.

Pillows More or Less 

There’s no denying the high level of comfort you can get from a sectional, especially if it’s a reclining sectional. Pillows offer options for “customizing” the comfort for anyone who sits on the sectional. You can choose lots of pillows, like those on this transitional parchment sectional, a few contrasting pillows, as shown on this contemporary steel grey sectional; or hardly any pillows at all, like this contemporary modular grey sectional.

Speaking of Modular

If you want the widest variety of options so your inner interior designer can come up with modern living room set ideas on your own, modular sectionals offer the design versatility you’re looking for.

As an example, this contemporary modular light grey sectional features five pieces to fit any space. Corner pieces can work in the corner of the sectional, or as the ends of the sectional. Two armless chairs form the middle of each stretch of the sectional. Or you can position them however you like.

More Versatility with a Storage Ottoman

If you’re not sure you want a full-sized sectional, but you think you might like the option, a matching storage ottoman can give you the best of both worlds. This contemporary sofa bed sectional with a storage ottoman offers lots of versatility for seating, sleeping and even keeping bed linens in the ottoman!
