Sectional Or Traditional? House Digest Survey Reveals The Best Sofa Style

It was a tight race between traditional sofas and sectionals, with sectionals ultimately coming in first. Out of 627 respondents, 36% (226 people) believe sectionals are the best type of sofa style. This may be due to their versatility in size, as you can purchase a three-seat sectional for smaller spaces with minimal occupants, or a five-seat sectional for those with a larger family to accommodate, per Simplicity Sofas. They also give you a large piece of furniture that you can style with all sorts of touches to bring out your personality.

An easy way to incorporate style is by layering different types of pillows, says The Beauty Revival. Find at least four pillows in line with your décor style in different sizes; one 24-inch, two 20-22 inch, and one lumbar pillow. You can concentrate them all in the corner, and then add two or three other pillows on the opposite end of the sectional to create a balanced look. Your largest pillow should be in a neutral color, while the other pillows introduce more vibrancy and texture to add interest.
