Modular sofas and their analogues help to solve difficulties with furniture placement

When trying to furnish a room, many people encounter various difficulties that prevent them from using traditional classic items. Most often, the source of the problems is the small area of small apartments, poor planning in multi-story buildings in old city blocks, and poorly thought-out placement of utility lines by builders that interfere with the installation of furniture. In such conditions, many large-sized solid structures with a geometric shape formed by straight lines either do not fit into the available space or cannot be tightly placed against the wall at the desired point without creating wide gaps. In these cases, difficulties can most often be overcome with the help of modular sofas and their analogues, one might say, specially developed by design bureaus of leading manufacturers for such purposes.

Design features of modular sofas

The main defining feature of the classification of products included in the modular sofa group is the absence of a solid frame. As a result, it becomes possible to optimally place several separate small-sized modules, creating the most suitable configuration for solving any problem in space. This allows achieving one or several important goals at once:

1. First of all, this is the adjustment of the assembly dimensions to the available empty space in the room for more rational use of each available square meter of flooring. As a result, it becomes possible to effectively combat the cramped conditions in small rooms, so oftenannoyingowners of small apartments in multi-story buildings built in the last century with a minimalist layout.

2. Sometimes the location of utility lines, such as heating pipes, makes it difficult to fit objects tightly to the walls, and the formation of large gaps between them is extremely undesirable for a number of reasons. It is not possible to cope with this problem when using long straight structures, and a stepped configuration of individual modules reduces the problem to a completely acceptable level.

3. If you want to make the interior design original, prefabricated structures will also come in handy. It is worth considering that each item included in them is made in a common stylistic design for all, so they all completely harmonize with each other in the overall ensemble.

Similar features are also possessed by those classified into a separate group based on certain characteristics frameless sofas, allowing to successfully solve all the tasks listed above. Of the other types of upholstered furniture, two can be classified as capable of achieving some of the stated goals and described separately.

Folding sofas

Having a solid frame folding sofas will not help to bypass existing obstacles from pipes, sockets and switches, but for the purpose of saving the square footage of the floor are quite suitable. When folded, they are compactly placed along the wall or even in the corner, leaving enough free space in the center of the room for walking, physical education or installing a dining table. When unfolded, additional movable load-bearing elements extend from the internal space under the seat, and it, together with the backrest transferred to the horizontal position, forms a spacious bed for two or even three people, typical for beds. It becomes uncomfortable to sit with such a configuration, there is less space in the center of the room, but it is possible to accommodate relatives who have come to visit for the night or have sex with a partner invited to visit, and return the structure to its original position in a few minutes for the day. With constant difficulties with the number of sleeping places, such a transformation procedure can, in principle, be performed twice a day, but if it is known in advance that this will have to be done for a long time, you need to take care when studying the product catalog of leading furniture factories to choose the most reliable models with parts made of durable materials. 

Chairs beds

The smallest items in terms of dimensions for combating tightness can rightfully be considered chairs beds. When folded, they are no different from a standard chair, in which it is comfortable to sit and read, watch TV or just take a nap. When unfolded, in a couple of minutes they turn into a single bed suitable for sleeping, and in the absence of side panels with armrests, you can even build a spacious dastarkhan from several pieces placed in a row. A huge assortment of furniture will help solve all problems!
