Modern Sofas

What makes a sofa modern?

Modern sofas keep things simple: straight or gently curved lines, slim track or low arms, tight or loose cushions without fussy detail, and slim metal or wood legs, or no visible legs at all. They suit open-plan rooms and pair well with neutral walls and one or two bold accents.

Affordable modern couches

Modern style need not cost more: several modern sofas, sleepers and sectionals here are priced in our under $500 and under $1,000 collections.

Modern, mid-century or cloud?

Browse by shape: sectionals, sleeper sofas and modular sofas.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between modern and contemporary sofas?

Strictly, modern design refers to the clean-lined, functional style of the 20th-century modernist era, while contemporary means whatever is current now. In practice, stores use both words for sofas with simple shapes and little ornament.

Do modern sofas come as sleepers and sectionals?

Yes. This collection includes modern sleeper sofas, L-shaped and U-shaped sectionals and modular sectionals, as well as standard three-seat sofas.

What is the difference between a modern and a contemporary sofa?

In everyday use the words overlap. Strictly, modern refers to the clean-lined style that grew out of mid-twentieth-century design, while contemporary means whatever is current now. Both favor simple shapes, low profiles and little ornament, which also suits minimalist and Japandi rooms.
