What Kind of Sectional Customization Service Should You Choose?
Online Sectional Builder Tools
Many brands offer online sectional builders that let you design your own sofa by combining different modules and selecting fabrics.
Pros:
Easy to use, perfect for visualizing the final look.
Some tools even show space parameters, helping you estimate how the sectional will fit into your living room.
Cons:
Limited to pre-designed models and standard fabric options, often meant for typical spaces.
If your room has a tricky layout, such as an angle less than 90 degrees, you might struggle to find the perfect fit.
Most builders don’t offer true customization for seat depth. Even when they do, options are usually limited to a few standard choices, which may not meet the needs of taller or heavier family members.
Lack of professional guidance means you could make mistakes without realizing it, unless you’re an expert in interior design.
Personalized Service with an Expert
While working with a professional might seem time-consuming, it can save you significant effort.
Simply send your requirements and a floor plan to the expert.
They’ll recommend suitable models and configurations, considering aesthetics, traffic flow, and your specific space.
Need extra-deep seats, like 40 inches? Just ask. The expert will assess feasibility and offer the best solution.
You’ll still receive a 3D preview of your custom sectional to ensure what you see is what you get.

What Should You Consider Before Customizing a Sectional Sofa?
Before diving into the customization process, consider these essential factors:
Room size and shape: Measure carefully, especially if you have unconventional corners or layouts.
Placement: Think about where you’ll put the sofa and how it will interact with other furniture.
Comfort preferences: Do you like deep seats, firm cushions, or extra lumbar support?
Family needs: Are there tall or heavier family members who need deeper seating?
Pets or kids: Choose durable and easy-to-clean fabrics if you have little ones or furry friends.
Case Study: Transforming a Living Room with a Custom Blue Velvet Sectional Sofa
In this real-life example, a customer of ours created a stunning and functional space using a custom deep blue velvet sectional. The elegant velvet fabric not only adds a rich, luxurious texture to the room but also blends seamlessly with the bold floral decor and gold-accented lighting.
This sectional features a corner three-seater design, perfectly fitting into the living room’s corner without wasting space. What makes it even more versatile is the addition of a flexible ottoman. On regular days, the ottoman can be positioned to the side, serving as a footrest or extra seating. When needed, it can be slid into the missing corner, transforming the sectional into a comfortable and spacious sofa bed—ideal for lounging, napping, or accommodating overnight guests.
What’s more, this ottoman doubles as a storage unit, providing hidden space to store blankets, pillows, or other living room essentials, keeping the area clutter-free.
This project showcases how customizable features—like fabric choice, configuration, and storage ottomans—can turn a sectional into a true centerpiece for a living space, balancing style, comfort, and practicality.
Conclusion
Getting a custom sectional for your living room is an exciting journey that lets you create a sofa perfectly tailored to your space and lifestyle. Whether you use an online sectional builder or work directly with an expert like Atunus, careful planning and consideration will ensure you get a sofa you’ll love for years to come.
