In this article, we'll cover everything you need to find the best modular furniture brands for your home.
What is Modular Furniture?
“Modular furniture is made from individual pieces that you can effortlessly add to or switch up to form the perfect configuration for your space,” explains Stacy Lewis, Interior Designer at Eternity Modern. “Modular design provides endless choices and possibilities—you can be certain that your furniture can always adapt to fit into your life, whether you’re living in a small apartment in the city, living large in a countryside house, or even somewhere in between.”
“Modular design provides endless choices and possibilities—you can be certain that your furniture can always adapt to fit into your life, whether you’re living in a small apartment in the city, living large in a countryside house, or even somewhere in between.”
From sofa sets and individual seating modules to shelving units, credenzas, and desks, you’ll find modular options for almost all of the furniture pieces you need. When you purchase a piece of modular furniture, you’re buying a pre-made unit that you can combine with other units. You can combine these individual units in various ways to ensure it fits your space and needs instead of relying on a pre-made configuration from the manufacturer.
Modular furnishings often come with convenient, lightweight designs and ship in easy-to-move boxes to suit apartment living. But as Lewis pointed out, this versatile furniture is also popular and useful in even the largest homes, especially if you love rearranging your space!
“If you're always looking for a home refresh on your layout or live a more nomadic lifestyle where you're constantly packing and moving, modular furniture has got your back with its flexibility and easy-to-move style,” adds Lewis. “It delivers both functionality and beauty and provides creative freedom for you to style your home, to your heart's content.”
