When buying a sectional sofa and ensuring it will fit well in your living room, here are some of the best FAQs to consider:

  • How do I measure my living room to ensure the sectional sofa will fit?
    • Measure the length and width of your living room, as well as any doorways, hallways, and staircases the sectional will need to pass through. Consider using a tape measure or a room measurement app to get accurate dimensions.
  • What measurements should I take of the sectional sofa?
    • Measure the sectional's overall dimensions (length, depth, and height) and individual pieces if it’s a modular sectional. Check the dimensions of each section and any additional components like chaise lounges or recliners.
  • How can I visualize how the sectional will fit in my space?
    • Use painter’s tape to outline the sectional's dimensions on your floor. This can help you visualize the size and layout. Some furniture stores also offer room planning tools or design software that allows you to input your room dimensions and see how different sectionals will fit.
  • What if I have an oddly shaped room or unique space constraints?
    • For unusual spaces, consider working with a design consultant who can help you find a sectional that fits both the layout and your style. Modular sectionals can be especially flexible for unconventional room shapes.
  • Will the sectional be comfortable to use in the available space?
    • Consider the sectional's depth and the distance between it and other furniture or walls. Ensure there's enough clearance for comfortable movement and that the sofa doesn’t overcrowd the room.
  • Can I arrange the sectional in different configurations?
    • Many sectionals are modular and can be rearranged into various configurations. Check with the retailer if the sectional you’re interested in can be adapted to different layouts.
  • What about the scale of the sectional compared to the room size?
    • A large sectional can overwhelm a small room, while a small sectional might look out of place in a large room. Make sure the sectional is proportionate to your living space.
  • Should I consider the color and fabric of the sectional in relation to my room decor?
    • Yes, the color and fabric should complement your existing decor. Light colors can make a room feel larger, while darker tones add warmth. Choose a fabric that suits your lifestyle and maintenance preferences.
  • What should I do if I’m unsure about the fit after purchasing?

If you’re unsure about the fit of your sectional sofa after purchasing, visit ROC City Furniture and ask about their return or exchange policy. It's a good idea to clarify these details before finalizing your purchase to ensure you have options if the sofa doesn’t work out as planned

How can I ensure the sectional will fit through my doorways and hallways?

    • Measure the dimensions of your doorways, hallways, and any other potential obstacles to ensure the sectional can be delivered without issues. It’s often helpful to ask the retailer if they provide delivery services and can handle measurements for you.

These FAQs should help you navigate the process of buying a sectional sofa that fits both your living space and lifestyle needs.
