Once considered tacky, sectional sofas have experienced a design renaissance in recent years, transforming from a man’s cave staple into a chic — and accessible! — method of providing scads of seating, no matter the dimensions of your living room. From Article to West Elm, a multitude of furniture retailers are creating modular sofas with almost endless possibilities. Whether you crave extra support, deep cushions, or sumptuous upholstery, dive into these fabulous finds, and take your living room from meh to fab.
The Harmony sectional is a top choice for those in search of extra deep, super-cozy cushions. This sofa comes in various fabrics, colors, and forms, so it will fit in most rooms. Also, the pillows are movable, offering back support (or a pillow fort) wherever you need it. Want it fast? Opt for fabric that will ship in one to five weeks.
Jollene, designed exclusively for Macy's, provides Mad Men vibes with sleek lines and rich upholstery. The solid wood frame is sturdy, and the cushions are nap-worthy. And you don’t need a toolbox: This sectional is delivered fully assembled with Macy’s white glove delivery service.
For those looking to make a sky-high statement, the Brigitte sectional is a voluminous option.

World Market made this sofa extra comfortable with soft, durable upholstery, deep seat cushions, and lumbar pillows for an extra touch of support.
Yarrow gold. Grass green. Pacific blue. Article’s rich, vibrant colors for its velvety Sven sectional make for a bold declaration in any living room.

The price tag for this sectional is not a typo. This compact Linen couch is a fantastic deal for savvy buyers looking to create a stylish space while also keeping a close eye on their budget. The adorable sectional features tool-free assembly, soft fabric, and a movable ottoman with spots for up to three people to kick back and relax.
This affordable modular set is as snuggly as a warm hug. For their beloved Project 62 brand, Target crafted a cushioned seat and back draped in supple upholstery.
