Designing your living room is both fun and stressful. It doesn’t matter if the space is large or small, you’ll be investing a fairly large sum of money in the right pieces of furniture. You’ll want to get it right the first time.
Perhaps the most important part of any living room is the sofa. It’s generally the largest item, is most likely to capture your attention, and needs to be both comfortable and practical.
That’s why you’ll find modular sofas have become the only practical choice and why they are the future of living room design.

What Counts As A Modular Sofa?
Sofas have traditionally been one piece of furniture seating two, three or even four adults in comfort.
In contrast, a modular sofa is made up of individual seats or sections. These can be individual seats, twin seats, corner units, or ottoman-style pieces.
You simply put the pieces together to create a sofa.
Versatility
Perhaps the biggest reason modular sofas are the future of living room design is that they are so versatile.
It’s easy to separate the modules and rearrange them in any format you like. That means you can have a cosy ‘u’ shape for conversational evenings and a long relaxed version for movie nights.
The versatility of modular sofas allows you to buy the number of modules you need to make your living room space perfect for you. It works for both small and large living rooms.
Ease Of Positioning
Being able to move and rearrange your sofa at will is a great benefit. As mentioned, you can change the format to suit the event.
However, another reason that modular sofas have become so popular is that they are easy to move in and out of your room or even your house.
If you’ve ever tried moving a standard one-piece sofa you’ll appreciate how difficult this is. Modular sofas don’t have that issue.
Setting The Theme
Standard one-piece sofas are one colour or pattern. However, we live in a colourful world that embraces bold statements and mismatched rooms; provided you know how to pair your living room furniture.
The beauty of modular sofas is that you can select different colours for each modular. We recommend you stick to two colours and make sure they complement each other. It’s also a good idea to keep the modular sofa colours neutral and let the soft furnishings add colour.
Two contrasting yet complementary sofa modules positioned next to each other can create a contemporary, chic, and comfortable living space.
As part of the theme, you’ll find that modular sofas are available in an array of styles, including classic, contemporary, and all-out luxury.
It’s not just the look, spare a moment to consider the material. Luxurious velvet can look and feel fantastic, but it may not be the best option if you have children.
Summing Up
Modular sofas are the future of living rooms because they are so versatile. You can turn any space into exactly the living room you have pictured in your head.
In short, choosing a modular sofa gives you full creative control, allows you to stamp your mark on your home, and simply looks fantastic.
