    Choosing Your Sectional

    Flexsteel offers various sectional styles, allowing you to select the best configuration and features for your home. When choosing your sectional, the first decision to make is whether you want a reclining or stationary model.

    ➥ Flexsteel Reclining Sectionals: Flexsteel’s reclining sectionals are available in both manual and power options. Manual reclining sectionals require a pull lever or push mechanism, while power reclining models use an electric motor to adjust the seating position at the touch of a button. Reclining sectionals are ideal for anyone seeking ultimate comfort and relaxation, perfect for watching movies or lounging with family.
    ➥ Flexsteel Stationary Sectionals: For those looking for a more classic, streamlined appearance, stationary sectionals offer clean lines and a timeless look. These sectionals don’t include reclining features but provide solid seating that works well in both formal and casual spaces. And adding a chaise can make things cozier!

    After deciding between reclining and stationary, consider the overall shape of the sectional that best fits your space:

    ➥ L-Shaped Sectionals: Ideal for fitting into corners, L-shaped sectionals are a popular choice for maximizing seating in smaller rooms or open-plan living areas.
    ➥ U-Shaped Sectionals: With seating on three sides, U-shaped sectionals provide ample space for larger families or those who love to entertain. They create a more inclusive seating arrangement that fosters conversation.
    ➥ Curved Sectionals: A curved sectional brings a unique, flowing shape to your living room, offering a more dynamic look compared to straight-edged designs. Curved sectionals are a great choice for adding softness to a room and can serve as a focal point in more contemporary or modern spaces.

    Each of these styles can be customized further to fit your exact needs. With Flexsteel’s wide variety of configurations, you can create a sectional that suits both the layout of your room and your personal style.

    Flexsteel Styles

    When customizing a Flexsteel sectional, you’ll find a range of styles that cater to different tastes and room layouts. Whether you prefer modern minimalism, classic comfort, or contemporary flair, there’s a Flexsteel sectional to suit your home. Here are some of the most popular options:

    • Flexsteel Henry Sectional: Known for its clean lines and transitional style, the Henry sectional offers a versatile design that blends traditional and modern aesthetics. It features plush cushions and optional power reclining for maximum comfort.
    • Flexsteel Aurora Sectional: The Aurora sectional offers a sleek, contemporary silhouette with tapered arms and slim legs. Its minimalist design is perfect for those who prefer a more modern, streamlined look without sacrificing comfort.
    • Flexsteel Bryant Sectional: The Bryant sectional features wide track arms and a low-profile design, making it a great choice for a casual, modern living room. Its deep seating and durable frame ensure long-lasting relaxation.
    • Flexsteel Arlo Sectional: Arlo brings a touch of luxury to your space with oversized, cushioned seating and optional power reclining. It’s ideal for families who value both style and functionality in their furniture.
    • Flexsteel Catalina Sectional: Offering a contemporary look with rounded edges and soft lines, the Catalina sectional combines sleek design with cozy comfort. Its modern shape is ideal for open living spaces that need a touch of elegance.

    Modular Styles

    A modular sectional is a type of sofa made up of individual pieces or modules that can be rearranged or added to create various seating configurations. Because of its versatility and flexibility, a modular sectional is one of the best choices for homeowners who want customizable seating options. One of the key benefits is the ability to easily reconfigure the layout to suit your space or needs. Whether you’re hosting a social gathering or creating a more intimate seating area, the individual pieces can be detached and repositioned to fit different room shapes, allowing you to change your furniture’s look without purchasing a whole new sectional. This flexibility is perfect for anyone who enjoys rearranging their living room or moves frequently.

    Another advantage of a modular sectional is the option to add or remove seating as your needs evolve. If your family grows or you want more space for guests, you can simply purchase additional modules to expand the sectional. This level of customization makes modular sectionals a smart, long-term investment.

    How to Choose Your Flexsteel Fabric

    Once you’ve selected the style of your Flexsteel sectional furniture, it’s time to choose the right fabric. Flexsteel offers a broad range of fabric and leather options, allowing you to create a sectional that not only fits your aesthetic but also suits your lifestyle.

    ➤ Performance Fabrics: If your sectional will be placed in a high-traffic area or if you have pets and children, consider opting for one of Flexsteel’s performance fabrics. These fabrics are designed to be durable and stain-resistant, making them easy to clean and ideal for busy households. Flexsteel offers fabrics like Revolution and Kashmira, which are known for their soft texture and high durability.
    ➤ Leather: For a classic, sophisticated look, leather is an excellent choice. Flexsteel offers various grades of leather, ranging from full-grain to bonded options, allowing you to select the perfect balance of luxury and budget. A Flexsteel leather sectional isn’t only stylish but also easy to clean, making it ideal for homes with pets or for those who prefer low-maintenance furniture.
    ➤ Fabric Upholstery: For those looking for a softer, cozier feel, fabric upholstery provides a wide range of colors and textures to choose from. Whether you prefer a neutral palette or bold patterns, Flexsteel’s fabric options allow you to create a sectional that aligns with your personal style.

    When choosing your fabric, consider both the look and functionality you need. If you want something that’s easy to clean, go for a performance fabric or leather. If comfort and warmth are your top priorities, then a fabric upholstery might be the better option.
