5 Cool Modular Sofa Ideas You'll Love
The right modular sofa can effortlessly transform any space. With their adaptable layouts and beautiful designs, you can make your home more functional and visually stunning.
However, making the right choice is key! That includes the size, layout, design, colour and whether it all matches your interiors. Most importantly, it just needs to feel right.
At British Design Shop, we believe picking a modular sofa should be an easy and enjoyable process. Read on for five cool modular sofas that we think you’ll love.
1. Monochrome


Grey is versatile, timeless and neutral, making it an excellent colour for modular sofas. It complements any accent colour, enhancing both minimalist and bold interior design schemes.
Get this look with the Lola XL Deep Sectional Sofa in a monochrome deluxe recycled weave. With this extra-large sectional sofa, you can fill even the biggest rooms with ample space to stretch out and relax.
Style tip: This modular, monochrome sofa best fits into contemporary styles. Pair with metallic accents, bespoke-made marble coffee tables and modern artwork to create a modern look.
2. Indigo
Indigo is a rich colour that adds a sense of depth to any room. It’s a perfect choice for anyone who wants to make a bold statement without overwhelming their living space. Indigo is also a good match for contemporary or Art Deco styles. While it is a bold colour, it isn’t as gaudy as lighter shades of blue. If you’re looking for a large sofa to fill a room, consider something like this XL Large Deep 5 Piece sofa.
Style tip: You can pair your indigo sofa with lighter accents of blue, or complementary shades of cream or light grey. This will create a layered look in your space that balances the deep blue colour.
3. Fern
Fern brings a natural, rustic vibe to your living space. If you want to create a nature-inspired décor theme, this could be the perfect modular sofa for you. There are two main options when it comes to how fern fits into décor styles – rustic and contemporary. You can use fern to add a touch of green to a modern aesthetic style or have it work as part of a rustic look. This Lola Modular Sofa features 3 seats with a footstool – perfect for a cosy, rustic living room.
Style tip: Plant accessories are a great complement to your fern green modular sofa, enhancing the natural colour palette. Organic materials such as jute rugs, bamboo blinds and cotton throws will create a cohesive, nature-inspired environment.
4. Ivory
Ivory makes a bold statement, so it can be a tricky colour to style. However, it’s a classic choice that exudes a sense of elegance in any room. It’s also extremely versatile, fitting into different décor styles such as traditional and modern. You can find a range of modular sofa configurations in ivory, like this Large 3 Seater Sectional Sofa by Russell Gillott.
Style tip: Remember that while ivory is a shade of white, pairing it with other whites and light colours could cause clashes. If the décor style you want to create is based around this colour, you can find matching shades of ivory and pair them with additional textures to add a sense of depth. This might include velvet and linen cushions, or you can break it up with marble-style furniture to enhance the elegance of ivory.
5. Fjord


If ivory is too bright for you, but you still want to go for a lighter colour – Fjord might be the right choice for you. As a light shade of blue, it offers a calm and refreshing vibe for a bright and airy living space. The best feature of modular sofas is that you can customize them to fit your needs. If you only need a small sofa, you could opt for a simple 2 Seater Sectional Sofa.
Style tip: Fjord will go well with coastal-themed accessories like seashell décor, nautical stripes and light wooden furniture to create a beach-inspired room. You can also consider incorporating soft lighting with floor and table lamps to create a gentle ambiance. Use textured fabrics like linen and cotton to enhance this aesthetic.
