Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for room planning, delivery paths, and choosing between modular layouts.

Which modular sofa works best for a small living room?

Start with a loveseat, compact sofa bed, or L-shaped layout. Keep one long walkway open and avoid blocking the main door path.

Should I trust planning footprints or exact product dimensions?

Use planning footprints for room strategy, then confirm exact product dimensions on the product page before purchase.

Is a U-shape sofa right for my room?

A U-shape sofa works best in a wider room with enough space to walk around the layout. Choose this setup when you want the sofa to define the main lounging area while leaving clear paths on at least two sides.

How much clearance should I leave around the sofa?

Plan for 30 inches on main walking paths and 16 to 18 inches between sofa seating and the coffee table.

What should I measure before delivery?

Measure door widths, hallway turns, stair landings, elevator depth, and the final room path. For larger U-shaped layouts, tape the footprint on the floor before ordering.
