Picture yourself curled up on a generous loveseat with a newspaper on a lazy Sunday afternoon, or cosying up with loved ones on a large corner option, where even the longest of legs can sprawl out for film nights. The depth and adaptability of a modular sofa offers a range of these versatile configurations, making them perfect for families and socialising.

So what does ‘modular sofa’ mean, exactly, and why are they so popular? If you’re unfamiliar with these clever couches, let us show you exactly why our family loves them so much, and how they give shape to every space. Put your feet up, lay back, and settle in…

What is a modular sofa?

Rather than one fully attached sofa, modular options consist of separate pieces, or ‘modules’. To achieve their adaptable nature, these individual sections can be attached or pushed together to suit your living space or family needs. For example, you can start with a three-seater sofa and later add a middle section, extending it as your family grows or as your entertaining needs change. If you move to a new home with a different layout, you can reconfigure the modules to fit perfectly into your new space. 

Do modular sofas come apart?

Absolutely – the practical beauty of a modular sofa lies in its shapeshifting magic, whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply want a versatile seating solution that grows with your needs. For instance, our Marnie range offers multiple ways to customise your seating arrangement, which is ideal if you wish to upsize or downsize in the future. 

So, how do modular sofas fit together? Well, the modular aspect really comes into its own with the middle section: measuring 103cm, it can be added to any sofa configuration, allowing you to create a seating area as expansive as you desire. Pair it with two-, three-, or four-seater sofas and corners for a layout that suits you. 

Got company staying the weekend? Our Marnie sofa can even double up as a modular sofa bed for guests, adapting effortlessly to accommodate larger families. Plus, you can easily reverse the pieces to switch the unit from right-facing to left-facing, ensuring it adapts seamlessly to any room layout.

Are modular sofas comfortable? 

Beyond its multifunctional nature, our Marnie range stands out with its exceptional construction and design. Each seat is meticulously crafted with serpentine springs and silent wire, giving a sturdy yet flexible foundation that’s beautifully squishy to sink into. 

The high-quality, long-lasting fibre filling and supremely luxurious feather top guarantees a plush, cloud-like seating experience that’s perfect for lounging. Feel your body cocoon into the sumptuous feather-filled arm pads, scatters, and bolsters, and let the stress of the day melt away.

Why choose a modular sofa?

Life changes, and our sofas need to evolve as we do. With outstanding flexibility, modular options are the ultimate sociable sofa, offering a customisable solution that can be adapted to you and your family. 

At Vintage Sofa Co, we kept getting asked for large corner sofa options, and our Marnie collection ticks all the boxes. As well as supreme comfort and versatility, Marnie modular sofas can enhance your living space in a range of additional ways. 

The Marnie footstool adds to the versatility of this range, matching the height and finish of our modular sofas. With a feather-filled top, it’s glorious for putting your feet up and transforming your sofa into an impromptu chaise or daybed – ideal for a home cinema room.  It also doubles up as a coffee table or games table, making it a truly multifunctional piece everyone can huddle around.

The attention to detail in the Marnie range is second to none. Oversized bolsters feature chic buttoning and a classic ribbon edge, exuding elegance, while stylish legs make each sofa look like it's floating. Moving rooms or homes is made easy too: the three- and four-seater sofas are designed to split into two, making it effortless to navigate through doors and tight spaces.

Upholstered in Duke velvet – a fabric that epitomises luxury with its impossibly soft texture and subtle shimmer – our Marnie range is designed to withstand the rigours of everyday family life, all while maintaining its stunning appearance. With a rub count of 70,000 and a spill-proof finish, it far surpasses commercial quality velvet.
