At La-Z-Boy, we understand the art of perfecting a basement ambiance with a sectional in Ottawa. Creating a cozy and personalized atmosphere in your lower level is a passion of ours.
While our expertise extends beyond the living room to include dining rooms and bedrooms, our versatile living room furniture seamlessly caters to the unique furnishing needs of your basement space.
“La-Z-Boy sectional sofas are a great example of basement couches,” says Ghada Shaheen, one of our design consultants at La-Z-Boy Hunt Club. A basement is like a chrysalis, waiting to be transformed into an oasis of comfort and relaxation.
Much like a living room, it has all the qualities to transform into something you can be proud of. That being said, what basement family room ideas can go well with our basement couches? Well, let’s look at some La-Z-Boy sectional examples at our furniture stores in Ottawa and Kingston to see which one is right for you.

Before we enter our grand list of sectionals, you’ll want to consider a couple of factors before purchasing a modular sectional sofa for your basement.
First, think about how big the sectional pieces are before buying them. One of the main challenges for delivery people is getting these furniture pieces through different doorways to the right spot.
Sometimes doorways can be narrow, which can lead to certain furniture pieces not being able to make the entire way through. The best way to avoid this crucial mistake is by measuring your space, and ensuring that every obstacle will not interfere with the overall delivery path.
Ghada says the main modular sectional pieces people should be more wary of are larger pieces like a cuddler or a chaise. “These pieces can take up a lot of space, which means certain doorways in townhouses, for example, may not accommodate those large sectional sofas,” she says.

It is also important to consider the style of your modular sectional sofa, which can look different than a sectional you would put in a living room. Ghada explains that most people when furnishing a basement, tend to go towards a comfort level rather than style.
This means that it doesn’t matter what the furniture looks like, so long as it has comfortable, deep, or relaxing cushions. These types of modular sectional sofas also tend to focus more on a contemporary style.
Lastly, it is always important to remember to think about the cost. As you may already know, sectional sofas can increase in price depending on the amount of seats you add to your configuration.
This means if you decide to go for a sectional with three or four seats, it will be significantly less than a La-Z-Boy sectional with ten seats. Special seats like cuddlers, and sleeper sofa options will also increase the price more than regular stationary pieces. So, it is important to consider these factors before purchasing a sectional sofa.

As mentioned above, certain sectionals may not be able to accommodate smaller spaces, which is why we have separated this list into sectionals that are better for average to smaller rooms, versus large sectionals, for bigger basements.
