Buying guide

How to choose a velvet sectional

Start with the wall, not the sofa. Measure the longest usable wall and subtract at least 18 inches at each end so the room still breathes. A modern curved sectional reads much larger than its footprint suggests, so give it room to sit away from corners.

Depth decides how the seat feels. A 40 to 44 inch deep sectional is a lounging piece you sink into; anything under 38 inches sits more upright and suits a smaller living room or an apartment. Low-profile frames with a back height near 30 inches keep sightlines open in an open-plan space.

Performance velvet is the practical choice for a family room. It holds colour, resists pilling and wipes clean far better than a flat woven cotton, which is why every sofa and sectional we carry is upholstered in either performance velvet or a tight bouclé.

Styling a sectional so the room looks finished

Pair a dark chocolate or deep green velvet sectional with a lighter floor covering — an ivory hand-loomed wool rug under the full seating footprint stops the sofa from visually sinking into the room. The rug should run under the front legs at minimum.

Balance the mass of a large sectional with something transparent nearby: a glass or stone coffee table, a slim brass floor lamp, an open console. Then finish with three to five pillows in mixed textures rather than a matched set.
