Buying a new sofa is a big investment. That’s especially true if you’re unsure how your living space (and needs) will change over time. This uncertainty also brings a fear of commitment. Anyone that’s in this boat should go for a modular sectional sofa.
You may be wondering, why is this type of seating the ideal solution for people who get anxious about committing to a particular piece? Let us explain.
Modular seating is made of several parts that can fit together in any configuration. If you fancy an L-shaped sectional, go for it. A U-shaped sectional or really just a long and traditional sofa? All the options are there for you to avail, whether today or a few years down the line.
That is to say, you can choose one configuration today and then change your mind tomorrow. This also means you can take your modular sectional sofa from one home to another without worrying about varying spaces. Plus, it’s a piece that grows with your family!
In this blog post, we’ve handpicked the best modular sectional sofas to buy. They’re a designer’s favorite!
Cloudine Modular Sofa
Product: Cloudine Modular Sofa
Price: $2,340
Shop: 25 Home
This sofa by 25 Home blends cloud-like comfort with modern minimalism. This sectional is designed for those who love to sink into their seating, especially with its feather-filled cushions. We LOVE this sofa for movie nights, lazy Sundays, or just a quick afternoon nap.
Overall, the piece has a sleek and low-profile aesthetic. So, it perfectly matches modern interiors. But at the same time, it’s also great for a twist in traditional ones. Its modularity means you can go for a classic L-shape, an extended chaise, or a more open configuration—depending on the day and your needs 😊
It’s upholstered in breathable and stain-resistant fabric. So if you’ve got a household with kids and pets, you’ve already landed your perfect pick. You can choose from different sizes: 120 inches, 160 inches, 80 inches, or an ottoman.
Evening Fog Six Seat Luxe U-Shaped Sectional
Price: $11,840
Shop: Homebody
If you’re looking to splurge, this majestic U-shaped sectional is it. It’s designed with both luxury and practicality in mind, so you get deep, sink-in comfort. The configuration featured above, a U-shape, is the perfect centerpiece for social gatherings, family hangouts, or binge-watching marathons. You can also find it in other configurations (like L-shaped) on Homebody’s website.
Its performance fabric is another win. It’s stain-resistant, super duper soft, and made for real life. So if you have pets, kids, or just a love for red drinks, this sofa can handle those everyday messes. (We’d like to give an edge to its dark color which conceals minor stains anyway).
Its chic, cloud-like appeal adds an effortlessly sophisticated vibe to your interior. One that can blend into modern, minimalist, or cozy spaces alike.
L-Shaped Modular Velvet Sectional
Price: $1,999
Shop: Homary
Jewel tones are trending in 2025, and what better way to add them than with a modular sectional? This piece by Homary features a deep sapphire blue color. Paired with its fabric, plush velvet, this piece instantly adds luxury to your home (and for under $2000!).
With this piece, you can expect a 126-inch frame, a chaise for lounging, and an ottoman that doubles as extra seating or a footrest. Again, you can configure it to create a setting that meets the needs of the day.
We especially love the dark wooden block (a built-in console) in the center of the seating space. This adds warmth to your interior and makes a stunning contrast (in color as well as texture) amidst the blue velvet upholstery. In terms of practicality, you get a quick spot to place your drink and snacks. Plus, there are two storage compartments to keep your essentials tucked away but close to reach.
Giantex Modular Sectional Sofa Couch
Product: Giantex Modular Sectional Sofa Couch
Price: $899
Shop: Giantex
Generally speaking, couches, especially the larger ones, are expensive. So when we came across this 80-inch-wide find for $900, we had to add it to the list. It comes in a modern gray color and tufting, making it suitable for contemporary and Scandi-style interiors.
Each seat in this sofa is a separate module. So you can rearrange it into many different arrangements. This makes this piece a solid contender in modular sectional sofas! The sturdy wooden frame of the sofa is paired with high-resilience cushions.
Another practical bonus? The removable and washable cushion covers. Life happens—spills, pet hair, and everyday wear are inevitable—but this sofa makes upkeep a breeze. So you can keep your living space fresh and clean.
Chiavari Modular Sectional In Distressed Ebony Leather
Price: $8,819
Shop: Scout and Nimble
Folks who love the luxurious feel of leather should look towards this piece. It is wrapped in distressed ebony leather, which exudes timeless sophistication. This rich and textured finish adds character to the sofa.
The Chiavari is, again, a modular piece. So you can arrange the separate modules as per your requirements. What we love about owning a leather sofa is how it ages. Over time, top-grain leather develops a patina, which gives it a stunning vintage look.
Better Homes & Gardens 100” Modular Sectional Sofa
Price: $718
Shop: Better Homes & Gardens
A price tag that’s under $800 for a sectional like this is impressive! It’s comfortable for sitting and lounging, offering clean lines and a suite of colors to choose from. This sectional is durable in both its seat cushions and upholstery fabric. It has a good balance between comfort and support for kids and adults alike. Its fabric is pretty easy to clean, too. We heard it can survive a spaghetti sauce stain 😉
Plus, the sectional fits amazingly into smaller homes. So it’s a good pick for apartments and small living rooms. It’s also simple and quick to assemble yourself, so you’ll find yourself lounging in no time. There’s room for quite some flexibility with this piece; the instructions that come along will show you around 15 different configurations. A special mention for its movable storage ottoman, which is fantastic for stashing throw blankets and pillows. You can also create a makeshift chaise on either side of the sofa using this ottoman—or double it as seating when you have guests over.
Aalto Boutique Feathers Double Chaise Sectional
Price: $3,080
Shop: 25 Home
If your ideal sofa is a plush and sprawling retreat that invites you to sink in and never leave, look no further. This sofa’s double chaise design is a game-changer which offers not just one but two oversized lounging spots. As such, it’s great for families, couples, and just anyone who likes to curl up with a book.
Plus, this sofa has a modern silhouette that sits low to the floor. So, it can make your space feel bigger. Aalto’s fabric is durable and stain-resistant, so it’ll last you for years to come.
