One of the most exciting things about choosing a modular sofa from OPA Living is the ability to create something that’s truly tailored to your space and lifestyle. Whether you’ve got a compact flat or an expansive open-plan home, a modular sofa gives you the freedom to design your seating around your exact needs — without compromise.

Here’s why modular sofas are such a smart choice, and how easy it is to customise your own with OPA Living.

What is a Modular Sofa?

A modular sofa is made up of separate pieces (or ‘modules’) that can be joined together in various configurations. You can choose from corner units, chaise ends, middle sections, arm pieces, ottomans, and more — and arrange them to suit your space.

Think of it like building blocks for grown-up lounging.

1. Create the Perfect Fit for Your Room

Modular sofas are brilliant for awkward or unique spaces, because you can shape the layout to your room rather than the other way around.

Options include:

  • L-shaped layouts for corner spaces

  • U-shaped sofas for open-plan living

  • Straight runs with optional chaise for compact rooms

  • Split sections for flexible reconfiguring when moving or redecorating

OPA Living Tip: Measure your room and sketch the layout — or speak to our team for free configuration advice.

2. Add or Remove Sections as Needed

Your sofa can grow with you. Need more space? Add another module. Moving to a smaller space? Remove a section or switch it around.

This makes modular sofas a long-term investment — ideal for growing families, shared homes, or anyone who likes to rearrange often.

3. Choose Your Comfort Level

At OPA Living, you can also tailor the cushion fillings to your preference:

  • Foam for firmer support and shape retention

  • Fibre for soft, sink-in comfort

  • Hybrid options for the best of both worlds

4. Pick Your Style with Our Exclusive Fabric Ranges

Customising doesn’t stop at layout — you can personalise your modular sofa with one of our exclusive fabric collections, including:

  • Kona – Textured, durable, and ideal for everyday use

  • Blanco – Soft-touch luxury in subtle shades

  • Coco – Sophisticated and stylish

  • Broadgate, Kyle, Sienna, Snug – Offering a mix of contemporary and classic tones

OPA Living Tip: Order free fabric samples to test how each colour looks in your space before you decide.

5. Add the Finishing Touches

Once your layout and fabric are chosen, don’t forget the extras:

  • Ottomans or footstools for flexible seating and lounging

  • Scatter cushions in coordinating or contrast colours

  • Matching armchairs or accessories to complete the look
