Modular lounges are a great addition to have in your home to meet all your rest and relaxation needs. Also known as modular sofas and modular couches, modular lounges are popular because they’re a functional and versatile lounge option, allowing you to create and customise your desired seating configuration to suit your lifestyle and space! What are Modular Lounges? By design, modular lounges consist of individual pieces that can be arranged together to perfectly suit the number of seats you need or to match the layout of your space. Since each part of a modular lounge can be separated, this means you can effortlessly ‘pull apart’ the lounge, rearrange it and enjoy flexible lounging options in your home. Modular lounges and sofas are especially great when renovating or moving house as they can be dissembled and are easier to store, transport and fit through tight spaces and doorways. Popular Modular Configurations There are many ways to set up a modular sofa, however they ultimately depend on the modular lounge and the number of pieces included to enable the desired configuration. Your space and the number of people you need to seat are equally important. Below are some modular lounge configurations you can consider: Corner: This might involve two parts, like a 4-seater modular spilt into two sections to cover each side of the corner. A corner modular lounge is ideal if your space is limited, or you want to create a defined space in one section of your room Corner with an Ottoman: Like the above, this might involve two lounge sections to create a corner, with an ottoman occupying the corner space. The ottoman in this position can also serve as a side table. Lounges with Chaise: This is a type of lounge that includes one end that is lengthened out which allows you to stretch out. A lounge chaise can be left or right hand facing (determined by the side it’s on when viewing front on) and is often reversible to offer flexible placement. Freestanding Ottoman: Your modular lounge might be set as one long lounge piece with an ottoman that can be moved. How to Shop for a Modular Lounge While style, design and colour might be top of mind, there are many important factors to keep in mind when shopping for a modular sofa. Comfort: Supportive seating with high density foam and no-sag mechanism will ensure longevity of the modular sofa and provide the utmost comfort. All our modular sofas use quality foams and fabrics combined with a solid timber frame construction so you can enjoy your modular sofa for years to come! Number of Seats: How many people typically live at your home? What is the minimum number of seats you need, or perhaps you entertain often and need extra seating? Built-in Extras: Modern day conveniences such as multi-functional consoles with USB charging, reading lights and cup holders are some other great features to consider. Your Space: Do you have lots of room to set up your lounge and experiment with different configurations? Do you rent and need the flexibility to accommodate different spaces and sizes? How can you be creative with extra parts, like using an ottoman as a side table? Storage: Do you need more storage space in your living space? Look out for hidden storage options such as integrated consoles, armrest storage cavities, or larger storage space within the foot ottoman to meet all needs. Resting Ends: Will a chaise configuration be more suitable for your resting needs, keeping in mind that it is a more permanent fixture. Or will a freestanding ottoman that is typically flexible be more ideal? Find the Perfect Modular Lounge Craving a new resting experience at home?
