Sectionals in Kansas City: What's on the Floor at Furniture Deals
Sectionals are one of the most requested things I help people with. Everyone wants that big L-shaped couch for their living room, but there's a lot to consider - size, configuration, fabric, room layout, and access path. Let me walk you through what I see most often at Furniture Deals in Overland Park.
Sofa Chaises Available Now
A sofa chaise is a sectional piece - it's one side of an L-shaped sectional. You can use it on its own or pair it with another piece. Here's what's on the floor right now:
Stonemeade Nutmeg Sofa Chaise - $549.99
Dimensions: 92"W x 39"H x 63"D on chaise side
The nutmeg color is neutral enough for many homes - works with gray walls, beige walls, whatever you've got. At 92 inches wide, it may be worth a look for Overland Park and Lenexa apartments.
Stonemeade Taupe Sofa Chaise - $549.99
Dimensions: 92"W x 39"H x 63"D
Same sectional piece, cooler tone. The taupe works well if you've got blue or gray accents in your living room. I see a lot of people from Shawnee and Olathe gravitating toward this one.
Gardiner Sofa Chaise - $629.99
Dimensions: Approx 95"W x 39"H x 65"D
If you're furnishing a larger living room in Leawood or Kansas City proper, compare the listed dimensions and try it in person at the showroom.
Allison Cream Sofa Chaise - $749.99
Dimensions: 98"W x 37"H x 63"D
Higher end, transitional style. The cream fabric reads more formal - works well in homes where you want a cleaner, more pulled-together look.
Custom Sectional Orders
What you see on the floor is what's immediately available, but Furniture Deals can order custom configurations. If you need:
- A true L-shaped sectional (sofa + chaise combined)
- U-shaped sectionals for large rooms
- Reclining sectionals with power or manual mechanisms
- Sectional with sleeper sofa
Come in and ask. I can show you the catalogs and talk through listed dimensions and configuration options.
Sizing Your Space for a Sectional
Before you fall in love with a sectional, measure your room:
- Width: How much wall space do you have? Sectionals are big - make sure you've got room on both sides.
- Depth: That chaise part sticks out - usually 60-65 inches from the wall. Can you walk around it?
- Access path: Measure your entry, hallway turns, stairs, elevators, and the room where it's going.
Bring measurements when you come in. You are responsible for confirming the room and access path before buying.
Why Kansas City Loves Sectionals
Sectionals work well in Kansas City homes for a few reasons:
- Older homes in Overland Park and Shawnee often have smaller living rooms - a sectional maximizes seating without needing multiple pieces
- Newer builds in Olathe and Lenexa tend to have open floor plans where an L-shaped couch defines the living area
- Basements in Kansas City are common - sectionals give you that movie-night feel for finished basements
What Size Sectional Do I Need?
Measure your room dimensions and subtract 36 inches for walking paths. Here's a quick guide:
- Small room: Sectional under 7 feet wide
- Medium room: Mid-size sectionals
- Larger room: Larger sectionals become an option after you measure
- Large room: U-shaped sectionals become an option
For Kansas City apartments, L-shaped sectionals under 92 inches are often worth considering. Bring your room and access measurements when you come in.
What is the Best Sectional for a Small Living Room?
For smaller living rooms, L-shaped sectionals under 90 inches wide often work well. Here's what I recommend:
- Stonemeade Nutmeg Chaise at 92 inches - Neutral color, listed at 92 inches wide
- Stonemeade Taupe Chaise at 92 inches - Same size, cooler tone for gray/blue accents
- Apartment tip: Measure your room, entry, hallway turns, stairs, and elevator access before shopping.
I've had people from apartments in Overland Park, Shawnee, and Lenexa come in with measurements. Bring yours so you can compare them with listed product dimensions.
How Do I Know if a Sectional Will Fit?
Three measurements matter:
- Room size: Length and width. Subtract 3 feet for walking paths. That's your max sectional size.
- Access path: Measure the entry, hallway turns, stairs, elevators, and room opening.
- Hallway/turning space: If you have narrow halls or a staircase, measure the narrowest point.
Bring these measurements when you visit. Measure first so you can compare your space with the listed dimensions.
L-Shaped vs U-Shaped Sectional: Which is Better?
L-shaped sectionals work in corners and smaller rooms. They're the most common I see in Kansas City apartments and smaller homes. You get seating for 4-5 people in a compact footprint.
U-shaped sectionals need larger rooms. They seat 6+ people and create a more defined conversation area. Great for finished basements in KC homes or larger living rooms in Leawood and Overland Park.
My recommendation for KC apartments: L-shaped, almost always. U-shaped takes up too much space in most apartments around here. For larger homes with dedicated living rooms or basements, U-shaped can make sense.
