Maybe you have a large space or need a lot of seating for get-togethers, but you just aren’t drawn to a sectional. In that case, look for furniture combinations that meet the same needs as a sectional, but also offer the more traditional room layout, with the flexibility to change it up. Two sofas and two accent chairs can create the same shape and size as a U-shaped sectional. A sofa and a love seat might take up the same amount of space as an L-shaped sectional, but allow you to create a path between them, or place a coffee table and lamp. Once you sort out whether a sectional or sofa is best for you, you can look at other factors like the depth and height of the seat. According to John Delong, "It’s all about the comfort at that point."
