Placing a Rounded Sectional:
Rounded sectionals can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, but they require careful placement. Here are some tips:
- Room Size:
- Rounded sectionals typically require a larger space to avoid feeling cramped. Ensure your room has ample room for the sectional and surrounding furniture.
- Focal Point:
- Use the rounded shape to create a natural focal point in the room. Position it to emphasize a fireplace, a large window, or a media center.
- Conversation Area:
- Rounded sectionals are ideal for creating a conversational setting. Arrange other furniture, such as chairs or ottomans, to complement the curve and encourage interaction.
- Traffic Flow:
- Consider the traffic flow in the room. Place the sectional to avoid obstructing pathways and ensure easy movement.
- Rug Placement:
- A large, round rug can enhance the shape of the sectional and anchor the space. Alternatively, a rectangular rug can be used to define the seating area.
- Lighting:
- Position lighting fixtures, such as floor lamps or pendant lights, to illuminate the sectional and create a warm, inviting ambiance.
- Creating Zones:
- Rounded sectionals are wonderful for defining zones within large rooms. They can easily seperate a living area from a dining area, or other room functions.
- Balance:
- Because rounded sectionals are very soft in shape, it is good to balance them with more linear furniture peices, such as rectangular side tables, or bookshelves.
When considering a sectional, it's best to visit a showroom or consult with a design professional to ensure the piece fits your space and style. Visit us at John Kilmer Fine Interiors and allow our expert interior designers to assist you as much or as little as you need!
