How to Create a Sectional

If you crave a decorator look for your living room with comfort and versatility, create a sectional sofa by repurposing other furniture pieces from your home. "The sectional sofa is the one piece of living room or family room furniture that brings people closer together and encourages conversation," according to relationship advice expert April Masini. Think outside the box, or beyond the traditional sofa built for three, and transform your living room. Create comfortable sectional seating with an eclectic flair to fit your small or large living space.
