What’s worth considering when shopping for a curved sofa?

✔️Style: Curved sofas come in many forms, some feel ultra-modern while others feel more traditional, minimalist or even boho. Pay attention to silhouettes, whether it has legs or no legs and the fabric options to find a style that pairs with your home design.

✔️Size: Ranging from loveseats to modular sectionals, curved couches come in a variety of shapes and sizes. While curved sofas may seem to take up less space than a traditional sofa, it may not be the case — so measure carefully.

✔️Living room layout: Curved sofas typically look best when floating in the living room, rather than pressed against the wall — so keep in mind the shape of your space. If you’ve got a room with a unique layout, a curved sofa may help to fill the space perfectly.
