Are there any dimension restrictions for choosing an L shape sectional sofa?
Yes, the main restriction is from an aesthetic perspective.
The chaise section of the L shape sectional sofa should not occupy more than 45% of the total width of the sofa.
With most chaise segments around 100 cm in width, L shape sectional sofas are typically 230 cm wide or above.
Should I choose a left-facing or right-facing L shape sectional sofa?
This depends on your space planning.
In compact living rooms, we recommend placing the sectional in a corner with the chaise near the window to maximize space.
Alternatively, if you want the sectional to divide different areas of your living space, place the chaise where the segmentation occurs.
Should I choose an L shape sectional sofa or a sofa with an ottoman?
The decision depends on flexibility and space. A sofa with an ottoman offers more versatile seating arrangements since the ottoman can be moved. This added flexibility might be a better choice in compact spaces.
On the other hand, an L-shape sectional offers a cohesive design with fixed lounging space. For larger rooms or if you prefer a structured layout, the L-shape might be the better choice.
How to choose an L shape sectional sofa for small spaces?
Opt for L shape sectional designs that feature slim armrests, light-colored upholstery, and compact designs as:
- Slim armrests (under 15 cm) maximize seating space without making the sofa feel bulky
- Light-colored upholstery makes the space feel more open and airy
- Compact designs like a 2-seat cushion L-shape instead of a 3-seat cushion model look more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing in smaller rooms

How to choose what fabric to use on my L shape sectional sofa?
Choosing the right fabric for your L shape sectional sofa depends on various considerations:
- Texture considerations: boucle fabrics offers a distinctive textured surface whilst suede is soft to touch and provides a plush feel
- Washability: polyester blended fabrics or cotton blended fabrics are most ideal as they are typically machine washable
- Families with pets: Opt for scratch-resistant pet-friendly fabrics to withstand wear and tear from pets
- Ease of maintenance: Most fabric types we offer with the exception of suede fabric, can be treated for water resistance
What makes pet friendly fabric scratch resistant?
Pet-friendly fabric is designed with a tight weave, which enhances its durability against scratches and snags.
The effectiveness of scratch resistance is verified through snagging resistance tests conducted by testing agencies like SGS.
What is stain and water resistance treatment for fabrics?
Stain and water resistance treatment involves applying a coating that makes the fabric hydrophobic and oleophobic.
The treatment prevents water and oil substances from wetting the fabric, causing spills to bead up on the surface. This provides you with extra time to clear spills and prevent fabric staining.
However, the effectiveness of this treatment wears off over time and needs to be reapplied periodically to maintain optimal performance.
What is easy clean fabric?
Easy clean fabric is coated with nanoparticles that prevent dirt penetration.
This means dirt and stains remain on the surface and can be washed away with just water.
For non-water-soluble stains, such as grease, the application of soap together with water is required for effective cleaning.
