We're Officially Buying A Sectional After Seeing These Living Rooms

There’s perhaps nothing more classic than this sectional: the modular design, the rectangular-cut cushions, the not-quite-gray-not-quite-white color, the small but beautifully crafted feet. It’s the kind of couch that could go in any room with any design style, but we happen to love how it fits so well into this minimal color palette.

We like to think of this couch as the perfect mix between 1960s Mad Men vintage and 2010s hipster chic. It’s all in the details: the off-olive velvet, the wood panelling, the tufting that intentionally tries too hard. It’s the ultimate recipe for a retro sectional.

Unlike the leather couch you might find in an old guy cigar lounge, this leather couch oozes comfort — and it’s all thanks to the mixing of textures. The sofa pillows, combined with the faux fur throw and lush rug all give the otherwise stuffy leather material a very homey feeling. 

Ask any millennial, and they’d probably tell you that millennial pink is, in fact, a neutral. The wonderful thing about the blush pink color is that it pairs well with almost any other color, whether that’s lavender, coral or deep teal — or all three together.

If you live in an apartment where painting your plain white walls is definitely out of the question, or you just like to stick to a neutral color palette, this bright royal blue sofa is an easy way to add some color into your living room without it overpowering the space.

Have we mentioned we love texture? There’s just so much it can do for a room. Here, the leather pairs amazingly well with the knit pillows and fluffy rug — not to mention the wood grain art print. Don’t you just want to dive in head first? 

One of the best parts of sectionals, is their innate nature to build a conversation area. Whether you have just one extended side, or a full wrap around couch, sectionals just bring people together. This one is no exception: the sofa invites people in with its soft material and long coffee table. 

Few things bring personality to a room quite like the contrast between extreme light and extreme dark. Here, we love the way the deep navy walls juxtapose with the soft, chunky sectional. We’re pretty sure we could spend hours there reading a book.

Black leather is a fairly difficult material to work with. It tends to overwhelm a space. But this sectional does the complete opposite: the slim profile along with the rose gold accents makes it much softer and attainable. 

For those who might shudder at the thought of a completely neutral room, it’s all about making a statement with brightly colored furniture. Select a sectional in an unexpected color, such as thing red-orange, and pair it with plenty of brightly colored accents and greenery. 

Sometimes, you buy a couch to fit the design of a room. Other times, such is the case for this room, the couch determines absolutely everything else. Here, the sharp lines of the couch emulate everything else in the room, and the clean masculine design extends well past the living space.

The telltale sign of a great sofa is one that you can easily see yourself face-planting into after a long day. This one has that exact vibe. But it’s not just the deep, cushioning that gives off that feeling. It’s also the entirely monochrome color scheme that feels like something you might see in a hygge handbook. 

You might be asking, “Pink, again!?” The thing with pink sofas is that they’re so versatile: on one hand, you can easily play down the color as a neutral, but on the other hand it works so well as a pop of color in an otherwise simple room. This sectional is the latter, and boy, does it work well. 

If — and only if — you have no pets, no kids and no problem with constant cleaning, a white sofa can be so magical. The crisp colorless furniture makes such an impact in a room. This one works overtime with the excess white and cream pillows lining the entire length of the sofa.

The issue with most sectionals is that everyone always wants to lay down in the part that juts out, leaving others to settle for the much less fun middle section of the sofa. Here, the problem simply doesn’t exist. With two sectional ends, movie nights just got way cozier.  

It’s honestly surprising that we got this far into a furniture round up without selecting something greige. It’s the classic couch color, honestly. And with a sectional, you really can’t go wrong. If you’re trying to invest in a sofa that will stand the test of time (and trends), greige is your BFF.
