Another strong contender in our roundup of modern living room sections is the Hudson Modular Sofa. This bad boy has a retro feel to him; with his low profile, rolled arms and ample curved corner section.
This modern sofa is finished in a beautiful boucle, with the choice of two colourways: cream or oreo. Both are neutral so will work in almost any room, with the former being the crisper tone of the two.

8. Alvaro Sofa
We’re not sure about you, but we’re absolutely dying over the Alvaro Sofa from Interior Secrets. Firstly, we need to talk about that shape, because this is not like other sectional sofas on the profile-front.
Extremely unique in its structure, it also comes in a moody charcoal fabric that feels rather striking. This stunner would work wonderfully in a modern living room or even a cinema room if you wanted the media-room feel without the dated leather recliners.
9. Juno Cloud Modular Sofa
True to its name, the Juno Cloud Modular Sofa from Globewest is a modern sofa that looks and feels like you’re sitting on a cloud.

The Carson Rounded Modular Sofa has curves in all the right places, and isn’t like a lot of the other modern living room sections in this list.
Its modern charm, curvaceous nature and soft palate make it a beauty to look at, but the sumptuous padding ensures it’s a comfortable sofa you can relax in for hours too.
Because of it’s curved nature, you could work it into a smaller living room and it won’t feel too dominant.

The Thataway Angled Sectional Sofa is a true fave of ours from all of these modern living room sectionals. There’s almost something futuristic about it. It must be the angled nature and high, supportive arms on either end. Though the piped edges are also delivering.
Available in charcoal or navy fabrics, Thataway is packed with high resiliency foam so you know you’re in for a supporting seating experience.
17. New Harlem Modular Sofa
While the New Harlem Modular Sofa is lovely to look at, it is just as divine to sit on. With relaxation in mind, this sofa has been constructed with quality feather cushions, foam and beautifully soft boucle fabric, providing you with that heavenly, sink-in feeling.

This modern living room sectional sofa from Coco Republic is different to anything we’ve ever seen before when it comes to leather options and we’re not mad about it one bit.
