LUXURY BOARD GAMES THAT DOUBLE AS STATEMENT DÉCOR
The art of creating a small apartment that feels welcoming and comfortable is to make the furniture fit the space without overwhelming it. Sectional sofas are the perfect example of modular furniture that can be adapted to suit a small room, creating a cosy, comfortable ambience without imposing too heavily on the apartment’s footprint.
At CB2, our collection of modular couches and sofas allows you to design your space to suit the dimensions, your style, and your needs. Let’s take a closer look at modular living room furniture and explore why it's a wise choice for small apartments.
What is modular furniture?
Modular furniture is a customisable design that's made up of individual units. These units can be positioned in various configurations, allowing you to adapt your furniture to the space and providing control over layout, functionality, and style.
The beauty of modular furniture is that if the first look doesn’t quite work, you can change things around until you’re happy with the result. Corner sofas or L-shaped sofas are the most common type of modular furniture, which can be rearranged to form the classic L-shape, divided into separate chairs, or a cosy U-shaped seating area that encourages everyone to interact. Even in a small space, modular sofas fit in easily and create a focal point for your apartment, which is particularly important if you have an open-plan layout.
Working your couch into your layout
If you want to include a sectional couch in your apartment layout, consider the space you have and how to maximise it. You will need a little extra room with an L-shaped couch: they take up more space than a standard couch or chairs. Remember to leave enough room for users to move around easily, especially if you have a coffee table in front of the sofa.
Orienting your couch correctly is also essential. If your living room opens out onto a patio or terrace, you don't want the back of the sofa to block the transition from interior to exterior effectively. You'll also need to think about entry points into the space. If doors open in towards the sitting area or there is a transitional space between living and dining areas, you want to allow plenty of room for easy access and unimpeded movement between spaces so that people don't have to squeeze around the sofa.
Colours, shapes, and materials for a modern apartment
Sectional couches provide plenty of scope for aesthetic embellishment in a modern apartment. Sleek metal frames with legs allow light to flow underneath the sofa, increasing the sense of space and creating an airy effect to make a small apartment seem larger. For a more natural, organic look, choose a curved sectional sofa rather than the classic L-shaped couch, turning a simple two-seater sofa into a signature item around which you can design your apartment décor.
Leather couches are a timeless addition to any sitting area, but rather than going for dark colours that could make a room feel smaller, choose light colours and neutral tones to lift the space and make it feel larger.
With an impressive collection of stylish and design-led sectional couches on offer at CB2, you can create a modern apartment that feels as if it's stepped straight out of the pages of an interior design magazine. Regardless of how much space you have, make every millimetre count with sectional furniture for smaller apartments from CB2.
