Recently the FurniturePick focused on the small space living room solutions [if you have missed it, you can check it here]. Today we are talking about the furniture for the spacious living areas and how to make it a cozy place for guests and family to stay close and motivating them to have a warm conversation and a lovely time together. We know the virtuous method to make it right: U-Sectionals.
A spacious room needs a large sectional sofa, and U-shaped sectional sofa might suit you. As the name itself indicates, U-shaped sectional sofas extend sideways to form the letter “U”. This sectional is totally great for welcoming guests and entertaining, as the U-shape allows people sitting on either side of the sofa have a pleasant conversation without screaming from the other side of the couch. Many U-shaped sectionals are better complemented by a large ottoman in the centre so that people can put their feet up higher.
History Lesson: there have been multi-piece, upholstered reclining furniture known since the days of the ancient Roman Empire (!). They were used, however, as dining sofas. Up to three persons would lie on such a piece of furniture, supporting themselves with their left hand and pouncing on food with their right hand. Since the Romans liked to talk while eating, they created the loungers in a horseshoe shape around the table. And those were exactly the ancestors of the modern U-shape sectionals.
Even today, U-shaped sofas and sectionals are particularly suitable for sitting together in a sociable circle after work or during a lazy weekend. They take up less space on the floor than individual pieces of living room furniture and allow the whole family to sit together in front of the TV. U-shaped sectionals have one more significant advantage – the people sitting at the extreme ends of it can look into each other’s faces while entertaining, without craning their necks.
