Your Canadian Store of Choice for a Modern Modular Sofa

A modular sofa is undoubtedly the most adaptable piece of furniture in any home. Its individual pieces may be effortlessly rearranged to fit any occasion, whether cocktail hour with friends, a grand family reunion, or movie night. Yet this unparalleled flexibility raises just as many questions.

How many modules do you need? Leather or fabric? What colour will stand the test of time? Our seasoned designers offer you their esteemed advice on these matters.

Sectional or Modular Sofa: What’s the Difference?

While often used interchangeably, these two terms define quite distinct products:

• A sectional sofa is made up of multiple pieces (mainly to facilitate transport) but is typically assembled in a single, predetermined configuration, such as an “L” or “U” shape.
• A modular sofa boasts individual modules that can be switched around with more design freedom. Modular parts are finished in fabric or leather on all sides. Picture six units effortlessly transitioning from a grand L-shaped couch to a matched ensemble of two armless chairs, a corner unit, and an ottoman.
• A modular couch truly shines in rooms with challenging shapes or awkward corners, where it maximizes space with unrivalled flexibility. 

What to Look for in a Modern Modular Sofa

Acquire at least one module per household member, adding more as space allows. Consider extra units that expand seating possibilities, such as an ottoman which can be used to rest your feet, seat one more guest, or create a comfortable lounge chair.

The choice between fabric and leather depends on personal preference and your lifestyle. A genuine leather modular sofa has a luxurious, commanding presence that can’t be replicated. It requires some care and conditioning but remains otherwise easy to clean. Fabric offers a softer, warmer, and typically firmer touch. Most fabric modular sofas are treated with a stain-resistant finish and are more resistant to tears and scratches.

Opt for classic hues like grey, brown, white, beige, and black to ensure your modular sofa effortlessly adapts to any décor changes. Alternately, highlight this centrepiece of your living room by picking a rosy pink, deep burgundy, or mustard yellow will create a spectacular tableau. 

Take all the time you need to choose a sofa that resonates with you and your lifestyle. Should you need guidance, our expert designers stand ready to assist you in sculpting your ideal living room and helping you select a timeless seating companion.
