- Minimalist design: Although they can be large, the sleek, one piece look of a sectional couch is often more minimalist in design than multiple smaller sofas and chairs.
- Fits into corners: When you style two traditional couches at an angle, you lose the entire corner space of a room. A sectional allows you to build a perfect L or U shaped sofa, while using every corner space for all-important seating.
An extra advantage of choosing a black sectional couch is the all-important stain resistance. A sectional sofa is an investment in your home. Reduce the stress of spills by choosing a black leather or upholstered couch from the start.
A sectional sofa is not the right choice for every home and in some cases would offer disadvantages.
Cons of choosing a sectional sofa:
- Size: Sectional sofas tend to be large and bulky in size, but that may not work for smaller size living rooms.
- Investment: The price of these versatile designs can be higher than a traditional sofa set up. At Robys, we can offer the best of both worlds with our huge inventory of sectional sofas at discount prices.
Styling Tips for Black Furniture
The beauty of monochrome furniture, like a black sectional sofa, is the versatility of styling your room around it. A dramatic, yet blank canvas, a black couch works easily with your personal style. Consider incorporating some of these popular styling tips for your black sectional sofa:
- Create a focal point: A large, high-contrasting piece like a black sectional couch creates an ideal focal point in a minimally styled room. By keeping furniture and clutter to a minimum, your eye will automatically fall to your couch.
- Monochrome rooms: Use white walls in your living room decor to maximize the stark contrast with your sofa for a clean and elegant style. Adding some neutral gray colors can also help to soften the contrast without taking away from the final look.
- Add vibrant color: For eye-catching, yet minimal flair, add some small throw blankets or cushions in bright and vivid colors. Your black couch will accentuate these color pops, adding vibrancy and life to your living room design.
- Make it pop with bold patterns: Elevate the bold style of your living room by adding strong patterns to throw pillows and room accessories. Geometric and strong floral patterns are eye-catching, while allowing your black sectional sofa to remain the star of the show.
