To find the best farmhouse sectional sofas, we first have to go over what farmhouse style is. Farmhouse style is intrinsically cozy, warm, and inviting. It masters the blend of chic with functionality. This style features a lot of ivory or white tones with major pieces such as sofas, rugs, and surfaces.
Farmhouse style compliments all of those clean colors with earth tones, blues, or other eclectic pieces to round out a space. The modern farmhouse decor style can feel very vintage with the pieces if you choose to go distressed finishes with dressers or bed frames or kitchen tables. This style can alternatively feel very modern if you choose to go with solid wood, clean lines, and natural finishes.
Something I adore about the farmhouse style is that you can mix and match these items to create a space you absolutely love. You can have a distressed kitchen table with dark wooden chairs. You could have a clean, white coffee table with a faded floral rug. The blend of rustic and clean is what defines a farmhouse style and creates that warm, cozy feel. Joanna Gaines played a big role in popularizing the farmhouse style across the country.
Modern Farmhouse Sectional Sofas
Modern farmhouse sectional sofas are, you guessed it, a warm neutral! They can be ivory, beige, a soft gray, classic white, or anywhere along that spectrum. Modern farmhouse sectional sofas typically do not have a print or pattern on them. A good way to add some personality to a farmhouse sectional sofa is to put on some throw pillows that have geometric patterns or statement colors.
These sofas are designed to look just like the farmhouse aesthetic – cozy and inviting. The seats are often plush and oversized. A rolled arm is most common with the ends of the farmhouse sectional sofas as that softens the overall look that much more.
Sectional sofas are the ideal living room seating. These work for large groups of people to gather for holidays or sporting events to sit comfortably. Sectional sofas also work for family movie nights just as well because you can gather or spread out as is your preference!
Most sectional sofas feature an armrest on both sides with several individual pieces in between them. The end pieces can be reclining, chaise lounge style, or a wedge or cuddler piece which is somewhere between a deep-seated sofa and a chaise lounge. The pieces in the middle of the sectional sofa are typically without arms so you can have whatever number of seats you deem necessary for your space before putting the other end of the sectional on the sofa with the armrest on the end. The main attraction of sectional sofas is that they fill up a living or family room space nicely and provide comfort, function, and flexibility.
These sofas can sometimes have a matching ottoman as well. The ottoman is functional for seating and also allows for some extra space to display decorations. Common in farmhouse style is a wooden tray with minimal elements on it. Those could include books, greenery, a tea set, or any other accent piece to add some personality to your living room.
The appealing features of a farmhouse sectional sofa are how inviting it looks to sit on, how comfortable it is to sit on, and how well it sets the tone of your living space for you and your guests.
