Selecting a Comfortable and Fashionable Dorm Couch

Make their college living area comfortable and inviting by creating a cozy sitting area with a dorm couch from Pottery Barn Teen. The durable designs in this collection are built to stand up to years of use, making the pieces you select a lasting part of their space. The modular design of these styles make them easy to rearrange down the line.

Creating a Custom Sectional Seating Area

The modular design of the sectionals available at Pottery Barn Teen make it easy to customize a sectional to suit the needs of the space. Begin your design process by carefully measuring out the space available. Next, consider the proper arrangement for the space. Write down the ideal combination of corner, middle and end pieces needed to complete the desired look.

Once you know the types of pieces you need, browse the collection for a style that coordinates with the look of the space. Adding an ottoman design makes it easy to transform any seat into a lounge chair. Place a decorative tray on top of the ottoman and it becomes a place to enjoy a snack.

Look for Design Details

Clean and sleek lines provide a modern, gender-neutral design while styles with fine details, such as button tufting, provide a more sophisticated effect. Check out all the nuances between the collections for one that speaks to the overall personality of the space.

Choosing a Well-Designed Set

If creating your own sectional seems like too much work, browse the collection of already matched sets. These modern designs come in popular configurations. Make them your own by adding a few jazzy throw pillows or draping a cozy throw blanket over the end.

Choose an Upholstery

Whether you are designing your own sofa or sectional or choosing one of the curated sets, picking the upholstery fabric is the final step in the design purchase. Check out all the available options and choose a fabric that will enhance the design of the space. Keep the look of the sofa neutral for long-lasting style and bring a fun pop of color or flair to the space with pillows and decorative accent pieces.

The sofa or sectional is just the first component of the space. Transform any living area into a space as cozy as home by adding wall decor, a few accent tables and perhaps a plush area rug. Make it an entertaining area by hanging a TV and placing a storage console underneath.
