Choosing the perfect sofa is not a decision that should be taken lightly, especially when you’re making such a big purchase. Just like the rest of us, you’ll want to know that the couch you decide on will suit your needs for many years to come. And why shouldn’t you? After all, an individual’s circumstances can change at the drop of a hat. You may decide to move from one home to another or you might just fancy a change in living room decor. This can leave you with an item of furniture that is no longer suitable for your home. To avoid this dilemma, we (EZ Living Furniture) suggest investing in a modular sofa. But to fully understand what these sofas can offer you and your sitting room, you must first understand exactly what they are. So, without further ado, let’s delve in.

What Is A Modular Sofa?

A modular sofa is made up of several individual components that can be connected or unconnected to create a completed sofa shape of your choice. These separate pieces will usually include a middle section with cup holders, an end section with/without an armrest, an extended chaise or a corner section. The 3 main shapes that people will create with their sofa pieces are U-shape, L-shape and semi-circular shape. However, with more modern designs there is usually an opportunity to create additional configurations if required.

What Are The Benefits Of A Modular Sofa?

Many benefits come with owning a modular sofa and luckily we have listed them here in an easy-to-follow manner for your convenience.

Flexibility

Firstly, flexibility. These versatile sofa frames can be configured to suit most spaces in your home. Whether you’re looking for a regular three-piece suite for your living room or a more comfortable corner sofa in your conservatory, it’s easy to create exactly what you need in the room that you need it in. Simply, deconstruct and fit back together.

Comfort

Comfort is unique to each person. What some might find extremely comfortable, others might find intolerable. With a modular sofa, you can adapt your sofa to suit what you and your family believe is cosy. If you would rather have your legs elevated, attach a chaise piece. Should you require a corner piece to allow for guests, attach a corner piece. Or if you would rather prioritise a cup holder, there’s a piece for that too.

Spacious Seating

A growing family or those who entertain quite often might be interested to know that this kind of sofa can be modified to include more seating. If you have over-estimated how popular you are, you can simply remove a section and utilise it elsewhere throughout the home or in an awkwardly shaped area that you have been struggling to fill.

Mobility

It’s safe to say that it is easier to move something around a home when it’s broken up into smaller pieces. And the same can be said for modular couches. Usually, with larger items that can’t be separated, you end up having to move other items of furniture or home accessories out of the way first to squeeze your larger item past it. Now, you don’t have to, or at least shouldn’t have to move as much out of the room.

Ease

Are you wondering how easy it is to put a modular sofa together and take it apart? Well, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3. Usually, modular sofas will connect with metal clips called Crocodile Clips. These are zig-zag shaped brackets that connect with a triangular post on the opposite piece. However, it is best to check the assembly instructions that come with each modular sofa individually as occasionally they can feature alternative connections.

Are Modular Sofas For Everyone?

Simply put, no. Much like other items of furniture, modular sofas might suit one family’s needs better than others. Some individuals might want versatility, while others might prefer a more permanent design. In all cases, welcoming a sofa (modular or not) into your home is never a bad decision. All types of sofas have the ability to offer comfortable everyday seating or a cosy entertainment area suitable for all guests. View our full range of sofas here.
