How much room do you need around a sectional sofa?

It is recommended to leave at least 75, 90 cm of space around a sectional sofa for comfortable movement, as suggested by Koala, Atunus, and During Days.

This clearance allows for comfortable walkways and accessibility around the sectional, preventing the space from feeling cramped.

For instance, contemporary furniture brands like Koala, Atunus and During Days recommend measuring both your room and the sofa’s footprint to ensure a balanced and functional layout. Allowing this amount of space also makes it easier to place other furniture items, such as coffee tables, without disrupting the overall flow of the room.
