Top 5 Custom Sofa Features Commercial Buyers Are Requesting in 2025
Designing a commercial space in 2025 comes with higher expectations.
Today’s business buyers want more than just stylish furniture. They’re looking for custom sofa solutions that solve space problems, serve practical needs, and reflect their brand identity.
Whether it’s a boutique hotel, a tech office, or a cozy coffee shop, furniture must work harder—and smarter.
So what exactly are commercial buyers demanding in their custom sofas? We’ve compiled insights from furniture distributors, office planners, and interior designers.
Let’s walk through the top five features they’re consistently asking for—and how Atunus delivers them.
1. Modular Design for Layout Flexibility
Flexibility is at the top of the list.
With floorplans changing often, especially in retail, hospitality, and workspace design, a fixed-shape sofa just doesn’t cut it. Businesses want to rearrange furniture based on traffic flow, events, or team size.
This is why custom modular sofas are now the go-to solution. They allow buyers to pick and configure each module based on exact needs.
Atunus collections like the Urban Classic Modular Sofa and Sky Cloud Plus Sectional Sofa are built for this. Each unit—corner, armless, ottoman, chaise—can be arranged in multiple layouts and reconfigured as needed.
For example, a co-working space might begin with an L-shaped setup, then transition to a U-shape for events or team lounges.
Add in removable armrests and backrests, and the layout becomes even more versatile.
In short, modularity means freedom—and in 2025, that’s a must-have.
2. Durable and Washable Fabrics
Commercial sofas get a lot of use. They must handle hundreds of guests, spills, and daily wear—without showing it.
That’s why buyers now prioritize washable, durable materials. Linen blends, anti-stain tech, and removable covers are no longer just a “plus”—they’re a must.
Atunus offers custom sofas with washable covers across several collections. The Sky Cloud Sectional Sofa, for instance, features linen-blend upholstery that’s both breathable and resistant to moisture.
When a cushion gets stained, the cover zips off and goes straight into the washer. This feature is especially popular in spaces like waiting areas, model homes, and short-term rentals.
It’s not only hygienic—it also protects the investment. Businesses avoid the cost of early replacements and reduce the need for professional cleaning.
Buyers know: easier care equals longer life.
3. Hidden Storage Options
When square footage is tight, every inch must serve a purpose.
That’s why hidden storage is quickly becoming a top feature in custom sofas for commercial use.
From clinics storing extra linens to cafés hiding kid-friendly items, integrated storage supports both aesthetics and function.
The Sky Cloud Plus Sectional Sofa and Sky Cloud Sectional Sofa both include built-in ottomans with storage compartments. These pieces look sleek but open to reveal spacious interiors—perfect for tucking away supplies, marketing brochures, or electronic accessories.
In retail lounges or Airbnb rentals, this makes furniture do double duty.
With more business owners opting for multi-use designs, built-in storage gives them space without clutter.
4. Custom Sizing and Configuration
Not every brand has the same floor plan—or the same goals.
That’s why buyers demand custom sizes, shapes, and layouts that match their concept, not the other way around.
For example, a luxury salon might need a curved sectional to fit a round reception zone. A hotel lobby might need multiple narrow sofas to keep walkways clear.
Atunus meets this demand with fully customizable sofa solutions. Commercial clients can choose their exact dimensions, number of seats, angles, arm styles, back heights, and even cushion thickness.
Even better—we offer free design services. This means you see a 2D or 3D layout of the finished piece before production begins.
It’s a feature that saves time, prevents errors, and increases buyer confidence. No guesswork. Just clear planning.
5. Soft, Supportive Cushioning
Lastly, comfort still matters—a lot.
Commercial buyers want furniture that impresses visually, but also invites people to stay. The seating should feel firm enough for structure but soft enough for relaxation.
Atunus uses a cushioning system that combines high-density foam, springs, and down or fiberfill. This structure is popular in our Urban Classic and Dora Plush collections.
The result? A cloud-like seating experience that still provides back support.
Whether you’re outfitting a hotel lounge or a luxury apartment model unit, this balance of comfort and function makes your furniture stand out.
Buyers frequently mention that their guests, clients, or tenants rave about the seating comfort. And for commercial businesses, that kind of feedback is gold.

Real Projects, Real Results
We’ve helped boutique hotels, showrooms, and co-working chains upgrade their interiors with custom sofas.
Each project began with a floorplan and ended with a smile.

Another hotel in Chicago furnished three lounges using our Sky Cloud Plus collection, complete with storage and washable covers. After a month, the client reordered for three more properties.
