First off, what is a modular sofa?
Most sofas are made as one piece that moves by itself. You’ve got corner sofas where the entire sofa has to be moved from place to place, standard sofas, etc. A modular sofa is made up of multiple pieces that can be moved individually and connected. This makes them a unique option if you’re looking for home upgrades and they carry some special benefits.
Opting for a modular sofa might not be for everyone – but getting one can mean you benefit from the following:
Amazing space efficiency
Is your living room an annoying shape? Finding the right sofa can be difficult as nothing seems to fit easily. Small sofas look too small and bigger ones make the room feel cramped. Modular sofas give you a happy medium as you can move around the pieces to suit the room. You could have a two-seater sofa with an extra seat elsewhere to make the most of the space. Or, you can turn it into an L-shape small sofa to save space in a small living room. There are so many possibilities – none of which you get with traditional sofas.
Way easier to move in
Moving a sofa into a house is one of life’s biggest struggles. You’ve got to try and get this massive piece of furniture through multiple small doorways and around corners. It’s super stressful, but modular sofas make things more convenient. You can find modular sofas at Shawcross that can be split into two or three separate parts. Rather than carrying and twisting a massive sofa through your house, you’re now only moving small sections that fit easier and don’t require loads of twisting and turning to find the right angles. This reduces the chances of damaging your home when moving a new sofa in and should make it cheaper to deliver.
Loads of flexibility
We mentioned the space efficiency of modular sofas as you can move them however you want. This also makes them super flexible after you’ve got them in your living room and organised. What if you had a change of mind and wanted to alter your living room layout? Moving a big sofa around is hard and there’s not a lot you can do with it. Moving a modular sofa is much easier and there are so many ways you can change the room’s layout.
Furthermore, you have the flexibility to alter seating arrangements when family or friends come over too. You can change the sofa so different parts are in various places, meaning everyone can look at one another while talking. All of this can be done whenever you like without worrying about the physical effort.
As you can see, modular sofas are deservedly popular. One other benefit links to the flexibility and it’s that these sofas let you avoid permanent carpet or floor damage from leaving them in the same place for too long. Constantly being able to move your sofa around stops it from imprinting on a carpet so the floor lasts for longer.
