A modular sofa is a type of sofa that consists of individual sections or modules that can be arranged and rearranged to create different seating configurations. These modules typically include pieces like seats, backs, arms, and ottomans, which can be combined in various ways to suit different room layouts or preferences. This flexibility allows for customization and can be particularly useful in spaces where traditional sofas may not fit or where versatility is desired.

-U-Shaped: If the goal is to seat as many people as possible, U-shaped sofa sectionals are the way to go. Spark an uproar of laughter and engaging conversations with friends and family with ample seating for the entire group. Combine a central sofa section with two- or three-seat sofa end pieces, and you'll almost have enough space to seat a full soccer team. This style of sectional works best in large rooms or spaces, like the center of a living room.

-L-Shaped: This is the most common type of sectional. These combine a three-seat sofa with a two-seat end section in an L-shape. Of course, the seat count is adjustable, as is the end piece. A chaise, for example, is a common substitute for the shorter end.

-An L-shaped sectional is also extremely versatile. For example, these work well both tucked in the corner of a smaller room or as a centerpiece in medium and larger spaces.

-Curved: These are definitely the drama queens of the sectional universe. Stylish and elegant, curved sectionals resemble refined works of art more so than a conventional seating platform. These sofas scream to be placed in the middle of a room as an intriguing conversation piece.

-Chaise: Compact and petite, the chaise sectional blends in a chaise sofa with a typical three-seater sofa. The small footprint means that these elegant pieces are a great option for rooms of any size. Chaise lounges also give you the option of stretching out.

-Pit: Another great option for getting the conversation going is the pit sectional. The design in its most compact mode begs you to toss off your shoes and climb aboard to sit cross-legged on a large, pillowy surface. Perfect for movie nights, the pit sectional invites you to lay back and enjoy your evening. Open up the sectional by moving out the enclosed ottoman for more traditional seating arrangements.
