The first word that comes to mind when I think of sectionals is ‘versatility’. No other piece of furniture provides so many options – in upholstery, size, style and configuration! What’s more, sectionals offer outstanding value and comfort. They often take the place of two (or even three!) sofas and chairs and are designed with contemporary living in mind.

Never considered a sectional? Please do! Here are a few reasons why sectionals are becoming a classic choice – and some inspiration to help you find the one that’s ideal for your space.

Endless options. Honestly, with the popularity of sectionals these days, if you can imagine it, you can have it! Whether your décor style is modern, traditional or farmhouse; whether you have a large or small space; whether you want a traditional or an ultra sleek look; whether you prefer leather, suede or fabric – it’s all available.

Speaking of fabric. Trends today are toward sectionals in neutral tones, providing a timeless foundation that makes it easy to go trendy with accessories, wall colour, etc. We suggest complementing neutral upholstery with cushions that have patterns or texture to keep the space inviting and interesting.

Configurations. Of course, the best thing about sectionals is the clever use of the corner to provide extra seating – and the options here are extensive too. Choose an L shaped configuration, a U shape, sides the same length, sides varying in length, seating mixed with chaise sections – whatever you need and want!

Think you can’t make a sectional fit your space? Think again! Sectionals fit every space from a small condo to a spacious family room. Even better, the design experts at Stoney Creek Furniture will work with you to develop a custom sectional to fit your needs precisely.

Performance and defender fabrics. Do you have a young family, pets or an active lifestyle? Today’s fabric protectors are amazing – providing your sectional with treatment that repels spills, stains and germs. It makes your sectional easier to care for, look newer longer – and provides peace of mind.

Ottomans and accent chairs. Not only does an ottoman with your sectional offer an extra seat and a place to put your feet, it also doubles as a coffee table. Find one that matches perfectly or offers delightful contrast. PS Accent chairs are another great way to inject a pop of colour.

Family gatherings. What’s my favourite thing about sectionals? They really do make it easy for friends and family to get together and enjoy each other’s company. Sectionals provide a cozy atmosphere that encourages conversation and togetherness.

If you need new seating for your living space, consider a sectional – there are so many exciting features and advantages!
