A small, curved sectional sofa can be used to fit into a small living room or to create a conversation corner in a larger space. Like any other couch or sofa, they can come in a variety of styles and upholstery patterns. Before you purchase a small, curved sectional sofa, it’s a good idea to take measurements of the area where you plan to place it. Also, consider any other furniture that will also be placed in the same room, or existing room features, such as a fireplace or large window.
Selecting fabrics for any couch is an important part of buying, but can be especially important for a small, sectional curved sofa. Common fabrics include microfiber, chenille, velvet, polyester, brocade, faux leather or leather – in fact, any upholstery fabric that might be used on a standard couch or sofa.
Considerations for upholstery might include whether you are furnishing an office, a public lounge, or your living room. Also of importance is who will be using it. For example, a professional office such as a legal firm might need a sophisticated appearance, whereas a doctor’s office where children and families can be anticipated might need a friendlier, more inviting air. For your home, you might want a fabric that feels good next to your skin so that lounging in your pajamas will be a positive event. If your household includes pets and children, you’ll want a tough fabric, such as a scotch-guarded canvas weave.
What does RAF/LAF stand for?
Paying attention to the direction sections are turned is important, especially if you are seeking a certain shape, such as a semi-circle or S curve arrangement. Look for abbreviations when ordering your sections. RAF stands for right arm facing, and LAF for left arm facing. If you want to order a model that includes a recliner or pull-out sleeping chair, plan enough room so that the section can be extended without rearranging the other sections.
Color selection is largely personal taste, of course, but as a rule, neutral colors such as light brown or beige are less obtrusive than brighter colors. You can add soft throws or bright pillows to the couch to act as color accents. However, if you are planning an area such as a student lounge at a college, brighter colors can add an accent that will brighten up what might otherwise be a drab area. In fact, this is one of the places where the S curve really shines, making a place to retreat and study or to chat with friends while making the most of a limited floor space.
Small curved sectional sofas can be used to make the most out of small spaces. They can also be scattered throughout a large space to make conversational groupings. They come in the same variety of fabric covers and styles that can be found in other typed of couches and can easily be matched to any décor desired.
