How to Choose an L-Shaped Sectional
L-shaped sectionals are popular with American homeowners. These sectionals come in a variety of sizes and colors, which means they can match most design styles. The sectionals allow people to lounge as if they were sitting on a traditional couch or use the L-shape to stretch their legs in front of them.
Simply put, an L-shaped sectional is a type of sofa that uses two pieces to form a single unit – connecting at a right angle. It is ideal for corner placement or to create a room divider in an open living area.
One of the best ways to get to know your L-shaped sectional options is to look at some of the top products on the market. Here are seven options that would look great in your home.

Sectional SofasHow to Choose an L-Shaped Sectional for Your Home
Some people frequently swap out accent pieces and accessories in their homes; however, adding a sectional takes more planning. You need to make sure you choose the right size and color for your needs. Follow these steps to narrow your search.
- Measure your space: you don’t want your sectional to overpower a room – or worse, not fit in it. Make sure you look at pieces that meet your ideal dimensions.
- Decide on a color scheme: consider listing a range of colors you would consider for your sofa. Decide between light or dark and warm or cool colors that would match your current designs.
- Set a budget: sectionals can cost anywhere from $500 to $5,000 depending on the brand, size, and features. Evaluate what you can afford before you start shopping.
- Explore bonus features: some sectionals have power recliners, USB chargers, and dedicated cup holders. Decide whether any of these features are desirable in your home.
This process will make you better informed when you start your L-shaped sectional search. You can focus on pieces that are relevant to your needs and won’t get overwhelmed by a big showroom.

FAQ
What is another name for an L-shaped sectional?
You might notice that L-shape sectionals are also called chaise sectionals or sectionals with a chaise. Some people also call it a cuddler sectional because it is easy for two people to cuddle together. One person can sit with their legs forward while another rests against them and stretches out on the other side.
Are L-shaped couches practical?
Yes. These sectionals are popular because they don’t take up too much space in a room. You can place your sectional in the corner and enjoy a more open floor plan. These sectionals are also ideal if you have a large family or enjoy hosting friends because multiple people can sit on the sofa at once.
