Reversible Chaise Sofa - The Ultimate in Versatility

When looking for sofas there are many aspects to think about. For example, you might have heard of "left-arm facing" (LAF) and "right-arm facing" (RAF).

These are some of the terms used by furniture manufacturers to describe asymmetrical couches as well as sectionals such as Albany Park's Kova. These modular picks feature an extended cushion that sits over a floating platform ottoman, making it easy to swap sides.

Flexibility

When shopping for sectional furnishings, there are many things to take into consideration. There's a lot of terminology to be familiar with, such as "left-arm-facing" as opposed to "right arm-facing," and the differences between standard sectional corner wedges and regular sectional wedges. Different kinds of sectionals are also available in different configurations. A reversible sofa that has a chaise is among the best options to achieve flexibility.

Reversible chaises permit you to switch from left to the right chaise without having to remove the entire ottoman and seat as you would do with traditional chaise sectional furniture. The chaise cushion can be moved from one end of the couch to the other. This task is generally much simpler than it appears.

The result is a modular sofa with the ability to be altered and rearranged over time as your family expands. Albany Park's Kova, with its individual seating and ottoman that can be moved, is a great example. It allows you to create an L - or U-shaped couch for more comfort and space for seating. This flexibility will allow you to keep your living space elegant and welcoming, especially when you have children or pets.

Comfort

If you're looking for a couch that can be adapted to different living spaces, a reversible chaise sofa is the ideal choice. These models that change shape let you switch between a left or right chaise layout by shifting the long, chaise-style cushion on a standalone ottoman platform.

The right reversible chaise sofa for you will also depend on the overall dimensions of your living room. A larger space could benefit from a modular sectional that could be enlarged by the addition of more seating units, whereas smaller spaces may prefer a smaller reversible chaise sofa.

Another thing to think about is the overall color and texture of your living room. For instance, if you would like to add a bit of brightness or a splash of color to your living space, a light-colored reversible chaise sofa is a great choice. A darker shade, on the other hand can give your space a more refined appearance.

Durability

They can withstand everyday wear and tear, making them a great option for homes with pets and children.

Another advantage of reversible sectional sofas with chaises that can be reversible is that they are usually made to be compact and save space. While a regular chaise lounge occupies lots of floor space, reversible couches with chaises are able to fold down when they are not in use, thereby saving valuable space and freeing room for other furniture or decor objects. They are great for apartments or homes in which space is limited.

Sectional sofas with chaises that are reversible are also more likely to have a more modular style than traditional sectionals, meaning they are more suited to move and reconfigure when needed. This is especially beneficial for renters who need to find a new place to live or host guests and require additional seating for your guests.
