Small Sectionals

Small Sectionals for Urban Dwellers

The living room often presents unique furnishing challenges for urban dwellers, where extra indoor living space is often in short supply. 

A sectional sofa, traditionally associated with expansive spaces, might seem impractical. However, small sectionals offer a stylish and functional solution, allowing city residents to enjoy the comfort and versatility of sectionals without compromising precious floor area.

These scaled-down versions retain all the charm and practicality of their larger counterparts, offering ample seating and lounging space while seamlessly integrating into townhomes and apartments.

The Benefits of Small Sectionals

Small sectionals offer a practical seating solution for urban dwellers with limited living space. Whether you push your sofa flush against the wall or extend it into the middle of the space to distinguish your living area from the dining room, a new sofa is an opportunity to get creative.

Versatility

Small space sectional sofas come in various configurations and sizes, including two-piece, three-piece, and corner sectionals. Stores like Q Living Furniture offer several products with custom sizing options.

Comfort

Small sofas with built-in chaise lounges allow you to stretch out your legs after a long day. You get added support that saves you from relying on a coffee table to keep your legs elevated.

Style

Durable and stylish fabric options add textures and prominent coloring that help fill out a room. Sectionals provide attractive real estate for fashionable accents like throw pillows and blankets.

Types of Small Sectionals

Two-piece Sectionals

Two-piece sectionals, consisting of a sofa and a chaise, provide excellent flexibility in small apartments.

The Christy Reversible Sectional is unique in that it features a modular design with its reversible chaise. This extension can be applied to either the left or right side of the sofa, depending on the layout of your room.

When ordering, all you have to choose is your preferred colour. This compact and cozy unit is available in either a Mink Grey or Mink Taupe ribbed fabric that is incredibly soft and sumptuous.
The beauty of two-piece sectionals lies in their ability to adapt to changing needs and spatial constraints. If you ever decide to relocate to a larger home, smaller sectionals can be easily transferred to a guest room or den.

Three-piece Sectionals

Three-piece sectionals, often featuring a sofa and two chaises or a combination of a sofa, chaise, and corner unit, provide ample seating for families or those who enjoy hosting movie nights with friends.

Despite their more extensive footprint compared to two-piece options, three-piece sectionals are designed with compactness in mind. Their configurations allow them to fit snugly into corners or against walls, maximizing floor space without overwhelming the room.

The Humble Small Sectional with Dual Power Recliners features comfortable seating for 3 people. In addition to its modern design in either Chile Frost (light grey) or Talent Slate (dark grey) colouring, you have the added bonus of USB charging ports for conveniently charging the devices you want to keep handy. This feature is nice because you won’t want to move once you settle into the Humble sofa.

This unit’s adjustable headrest offers optimum comfort while engaging in your favourite leisure, whether reading a book, binging the latest series, or sneaking in a quick afternoon nap.

Apartment-sized Sectionals

As the name suggests, apartment-sized sectionals are specifically designed to cater to the unique spatial challenges of apartment living. These sectionals typically feature a smaller footprint without compromising on style or comfort.

The left- or right-hand facing Atlantic Condo Sectional embodies the apartment-sized sectional concept wonderfully, creating an airy ambiance while providing ample seating.
Measuring 110″ x 90″ (with a seating back height of 29″) and a frame depth of 39″, this sofa creates an inviting entertaining hub the whole family can appreciate.

Measuring for a Small Sectional

Choosing the right small sectional involves more than browsing attractive styles; it requires careful consideration of your space. Before heading to the furniture store or clicking “add to cart,” take precise measurements to ensure your chosen sectional effortlessly integrates into your living room.

This step helps avoid the disappointment of a piece arriving too large or small. Accurate measurements are the foundation for a successful and satisfying furniture purchase.

Room Dimensions

Begin by measuring the length and width of the room where your sectional couch will reside. Consider the placement of other room furniture pieces, such coffee tables or entertainment centres, and factor in adequate walking space around the sectional.

If you want another handy visual aid, use painter’s tape to mark the potential outline of your sectional on the floor. This visual aid helps you assess how your new sectional will interact with the room’s flow and existing furniture.

  • Follow these bullet points for measuring:
  • Measure twice, or even three times to ensure accuracy.
  • Use a measuring tape specifically designed for home use.
  • Note down all measurements clearly to avoid confusion

Doorway and Hallway Dimensions

While ensuring your sectional sofa fits comfortably within the room is crucial, don’t overlook the importance of measuring doorways, hallways, and elevators leading to your living space. A good quality sectional, even a compact one, can be bulkier than anticipated, making for a frustrating, time-consuming challenge.

And don’t forget about the space inside your living room where you intend the sectional to go. Make sure to clear all obstacles. If you believe the sectional will be too large, discussing alternative options with your retailer before the scheduled delivery day is highly recommended.

Window and Wall Dimensions

When choosing a small sectional, factor in the placement of windows and your wall dimensions, especially if opting for a taller back cushion style. Avoid blocking windows, electrical outlets, and air vents. Be especially careful when positioning your sectional near heat sources, such as electronic radiators.

You should also consider the sofa’s height and relationship to any surrounding wall decor, such as artwork or shelving units. If the sectional’s back is particularly high, it might visually dominate the wall, making the room feel smaller.

Sectional sofas with clean lines and a lower back profile create a more open and airy feel, enhancing the sense of space in a smaller room, particularly when complemented by extra seating options like accent chairs.

Popular Fabrics and Colours for Small Sectionals

Selecting the most suitable fabric and colour for your small sectional is crucial for creating a cohesive and stylish urban interior. Opting for durable and easy-to-clean materials ensures your sectional withstands the rigours of its everyday demands.

Neutral colors often work well in compact spaces as they create an airy feel and complement various design styles. However, don’t shy away from incorporating pops of color through accent pillows or throws to add personality to your space.

When choosing a fabric for your small sectional, prioritize durability and style to maximize its lifespan and visual appeal. Linen, a natural fiber known for its breathability and relaxed aesthetic, provides a classic and inviting look. Velvet, with its luxurious texture and richness, offers a touch of sophistication. When in doubt, your Q Living Furniture sales associate can help you determine the best material for your environment.

Neutral tones like grey, beige, or white work well for small sectionals in urban settings, creating a sense of space and light. If you opt for a lighter-colored sectional and you have young children, it might not hurt to inquire about Q Living Furniture’s excellent stain protection plan for added peace of mind.

Small Sectional Maintenance and Care

Maintaining the pristine condition of your small sectional ensures it remains as stylish and inviting as the day you bought it. Following simple yet effective maintenance tips can prevent premature wear and tear, preserving your investment.

  • Rotating the seat cushions periodically ensures even wear, preventing one area from becoming overly compressed or faded. 
  • Refer to the product page or manufacturer’s care instructions for specific cleaning recommendations based on the chosen fabric.
  • For fabric upholstery, blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain further into the fibers.
