If you are thinking of getting sectional sofas for your living room, you can be sure to have versatile furniture that can bring your most creative interior design concepts to life. These can be divided, combined and rearranged with other items in the room.

Some decorators advise against separating a sectional sofa, as this can make your living room look uncomfortable and unfinished. But what good is having sectional furniture if you’re not going to play around with it a bit? With a little creativity, you can properly partition a sectional sofa and make your living room look even better.

From regular variants to modern options, sectional sofas come in all shapes, colors, and sizes; some have chaise ends for comfort, while others have standard ends. Dividing the sofa will depend on these differences, since you will have to treat each part individually once separated.

Keep in mind that when it comes to dividing a sectional sofa, each part should stand on its own and as much as possible, it shouldn’t look like any part is missing.

One way to do this is by using different colored slipcovers so that each part of the sectional looks like a different piece of furniture. Even better, you can match the larger section of your sectional sofa to your living room by choosing slipcovers that are the same color as the walls.

Just as blending your sofa into its surroundings will make it appear smaller, it will also help make your living room look more spacious. This is because it will be one less element of the room that attracts attention.

You can also add accent pillows to a neutral-colored sectional to emphasize how distinctive each seat is from the others. Ideally, the colors of the cushions should match the other accents in your living room.

Another effective way to divide sectional sofas is to establish focal points in the room. A focal point is anything in your living room that draws attention and is interesting enough to encourage viewers to look further. Examples of these are televisions and fireplaces.

If you want to focus on one area of ​​the room, you can rearrange your seats so that they form a semicircle. Add a rug or coffee table in the center of this circle to tie the pieces together. Between the chairs, you can add potted plants to take advantage of the extra space.

Whether through slipcover color combinations, strategic placement, or by adding accessories, dividing up sectional sofas can still create a cohesive living room for you and your family to enjoy.
