Sectional sofas are a powerhouse of living space utility. These pieces offer expansive space for seating and stretching out yet, because they are packaged as multiple pieces, they are so much easier to move and setup than a single-piece sofa of a similar size. They're also available in a dizzying array of formats – you can find sectional sofas with cozy chaise lounges attached, modular sofas that allow for endless layout formats, sectionals that include storage pieces, sleeper sectionals, and so many more. We've collected a style-forward selection of our favorite sectionals from around the web, each available online for your redecorating convenience.
