Types of Sofa Sets

Sectional Sofa

• A sectional sofa is the modern answer to the stock combination of a sofa and loveseat. A sectional sofa typically has an "L" shape, which gives an added dimension and texture to a room. A sectional sofa gives the people living and visiting your home a wealth of space for lounging, reclining, relaxing, cuddling up with a book or movie in the greatest of comfort. Sectional sofas also come with lots of compartments for storing remote controls, magazines or flip side tables for resting drinks.

Minimalist Sofa Sets

• Minimalist sofa sets are for those who value the aesthetic of their living rooms over comfort. Minimalist sofa sets offer sofas, armchairs, loveseats and ottomans that have clean, straight lines, smaller, space-saving dimensions and a generally modern appearance. While many of these furniture pieces do have basic comforts like backrests and armrests, they often lack the plush, cushioned sensation of traditional sofa sets. These sofa sets, however, are suitable additions to nearly any contemporary decorating scheme.

Daybeds, Futons and Sleeper Sofas

• You can buy a sofa set which appears traditional, but which actually has a dual function: the sofa unfolds into a bed. Futons and sleeper sofas all have this unfolding capability. Daybeds are camouflaged to look like traditional sofas, but they're really beds. This really does give you more value for your money and is a suitable solution for someone who has frequent visitors but no guest room. One of the beneficial aspects of futons and daybeds is that you can pair them with a traditional armchair or ottoman and they really start to resemble a traditional sofa.
