Frequently Asked Questions About Modular Sofas in Singapore
What is a modular sofa?
A modular sofa is made up of individual seating sections that can be combined to create different configurations. Depending on the design, modules can be arranged as a straight sofa, L-shaped sofa, chaise configuration or larger sectional to suit your living space.
What size modular sofa should I choose?
Start with the dimensions of your living room and the amount of seating you need. Measure the overall length and depth of the configuration and allow sufficient circulation space around the sofa, coffee table and other furniture.
Are modular sofas suitable for HDBs and small Singapore homes?
Yes. Modular sofas can work particularly well in HDBs and compact homes because you can select a configuration suited to the available space. A smaller combination of modules can provide comfortable seating without overwhelming the room.
Should I choose an L-shaped, chaise or sectional sofa?
The best configuration depends on your floor plan and how you use your living room. An L-shaped sofa can define a seating area, a chaise provides space to stretch out, while larger sectional configurations can provide additional seating for bigger households and living rooms.
How do I choose the right modular sofa configuration?
Consider your room dimensions, seating capacity and preferred layout. Check the position of doors, walkways, windows and other furniture before deciding where individual modules should sit. It is also useful to consider whether you may want to rearrange the configuration in future.
Should I choose a fabric or leather modular sofa?
Both can be suitable depending on your lifestyle. Fabric offers a wide range of textures and colours with a softer feel, while leather has a distinctive natural finish that develops character with use. Consider comfort, maintenance and everyday use when choosing upholstery.
Are modular sofas suitable for homes with pets?
Yes, but upholstery choice is important. Look for durable, easy-care fabrics suited to your household and consider factors such as texture, colour and maintenance. Commune's team can advise on suitable upholstery options for homes with pets.
Can modular sofas be rearranged?
Many modular sofas are designed to allow individual sections to be combined in different ways, although this varies by collection. Check the available modules and compatible configurations of the sofa you are considering before purchasing.
What should I measure before buying a modular sofa?
Measure the width and depth of your living area as well as the complete dimensions of your preferred sofa configuration. Also check doors, corridors, lifts and other access points to ensure the individual modules can be delivered into your home.
