Your couch may be one of the most-loved pieces of furniture in your house. It’s where you lounge with friends, snack while binge-watching TV, and maybe (nowadays) it’s your work from home space, too. So it's no wonder that you’d want a sofa that’s as versatile as you are, as well as durable, stylish, and comfortable.
Whether you’re looking for something that’s just right for a small space or a multi-purpose piece that's easy to move (hello, renters), a modular sofa is a modern option that’s built to work for you. As buildable as toy blocks, this trendy style comes in multiple silhouettes so you can find the perfect one for your home.
From kid and pet-friendly fabrics to moveable chaises, these are the best modular sofas.

The Floyd Sofa is built for comfort and long-lasting durability, and consists of a sturdy wood frame and cushions covered in soft but stain-repellent fabric that holds up to play (and messes) from kids and pets. It’s also thoughtfully designed to accompany you through any move and can easily be taken apart and put back together, regardless of narrow stairwells and doorways.
The Floyd comes in two-and three-seater silhouettes. Add a chaise, and it can be attached to either side of the couch or purchased separately later. It also comes in five goes-with-anything colors, including lunar gray, mist blue, and striking golden saffron, to fit your family’s style.
Burrow Range Sectional

Burrow’s Range collection comes in unique shape options that set it apart from its competitors. Pick the size, the shape (from straight-across seats to a corner sectional with loungers), and whether you want it to have arms on both sides, one side, or none. Other add-ons include attachable ottomans, which can go on the front or side of a seat, or—and this is really clever—a side table that you can build right onto the unit.
You can continue customizing your couch with fabric colors and leg finishes for a look that’s all your own. But no matter how you design it, your sofa will be cozy, durable, and stain-resistant for many snuggly years to come.

The fabric on Love Sac’s modular pieces isn’t just durable— it’s removable and machine-washable, too. In fact, you can purchase new covers down the road, an easy and cost-effective way to refresh the look of your living room.
What Editors Say
"I've yet to find something I don't love about this modular sofa. From the swappable covers to the array of options for the seats themselves—the Lovesac sactional has plenty of options to appeal to everyone, and you can expand or change your sofa over the years. The shape of the couch is, admittedly, a little blocky, but if you adore a comfortable couch you can melt into (like I do), you can't go wrong with this oversized option." — Lauren Phillips, Lifestyle Editor
