I met a client last week who has enormous rooms to fill. Her family room, for starters, is one of the largest I have seen. In order to make the space feel cozy and utlitarian, it needs to be filled with large scale pieces, anchored by a large rug, and have the widows all treated with fabric to create a cozier feel.
When I mentioned a sectional she cringed. Thoughts that came to mind were: cheezy, dated, bachelor-padish. Not convinced, she begged me to “show her” some visuals where the trusty sectional looked great. If Martyn Lawrence Bullard can use one, then we all can… The sectional: 9 Ways:

Love 7 .hard to find a tight back sectional not tight bod thanks ipad
This post rocks my world. I now have a solution to me and my husband’s dreaded comfy-couch war. We can get a sectional as long as it looks like one of these!
Katie,
What about using a single back to back sofa in lieu of a sectional. If you have the room it makes for very cozy conversation spaces. Or for more long-term flexibility, you could use two of the same sofas, back to back with a console table in between.
Thank for your always thoughtful posts!

Love this post. You have a great way of explaining this that make sense! Where might I find sofa sectionals that look this good??
This is such a good bit of information. Why is it that we all think of sectionals as being fugly?? I think bob’s discount furniture with the reclining section and remote/drink holders. Thank you for sharing your great design sense with us every day!!
I used to cringe at the word sectional too- but there are so many beautiful choices out there now!! I think its a great idea for a large space- I hope she agrees with you after seeing all these great ones!
I can’t wait to see the final room designed! Plz keep us updated on ur progress..
