Whether you are moving into a new build property or an existing property, it is good to note that an average living room size in the UK is between 16.7 to 32.5 square meters, which can make arranging of furniture in small living rooms difficult, especially if your living room is on the smaller end. With such limited space, the type is sofa you opt for can really make or break your overall decor and space in your small living room.

In this post, we will define what a Modular Sofa is, show you an example of a Modular sofa that’ll will fit perfectly in any small space, and show you the many ways you can arrange and rearrange a Modular Sofa to suit any space and use.
