This luxurious modular sofa fits in my NYC shoebox apartment - and it actually looks good
It may be July, but when I found this insanely chic modern modular sofa, it felt like Christmas morning!
When I first moved into my shoebox studio apartment in Brooklyn, the last thing on my mind was finding the 'perfect' couch. However, over the years, after cycling through several that did not quite fit the bill, I found myself entering my furnishing era.
For the past six months, I have been on a journey to find a modern solution that suits my small apartment (500 Sq ft, to be exact) while being comfortable, unlike most of the tiny home living solutions on the market. I found myself struggling to find my sofa soulmate — until I found Homebody.
Homebody is an up and coming furniture destination for homeowners and renters alike looking for trendy pieces that feel as luxurious as they look. The brand's popular modular Luxe Sofa was what caught my eye.
The beautiful linen furniture piece in shade Coconut is a fan favorite and now officially editor-approved! (And right now with code IDDESIGNSCO it's 30 percent off).
What sold me about the unique find is that it is completely customizable to any size space, even my tiny one-room home.
I went with a loveseat style (aka two cushions!) and could not be happier because, surprisingly, the seats are MASSIVE. Going modular means more possibilities and that was essential in my search.
The design has an insane depth of 39.5 inches and a back height of 37.5 inches, making it by far one of the deepest and tallest sofas I have ever sat on.
I specifically wanted a couch that made curling up possible without feeling cramped or unsupported. My partner, who is 6'2 also had reservations on size capacity, but with the Homebody Luxe Sofa, there has been nothing but comfort.
Despite the seemingly deep and tall layout of this sofa, it still fits seamlessly into my compact New York City apartment. So much so that I was even able to accommodate my puppy's crate side by side to it, opening up my space even more, which anyone living in a shoebox knows is a BIG deal.
Aside from the obvious aesthetic niceties of the Homebody Luxe Sofa, I was most impressed by the bonus amenities of it. Surprisingly, unlike most models that I have seen, it reclines!
Powered by a cordless rechargeable remote, each cushion reclines on command and has three position modes, including Seated, Relaxed, and Zero Gravity. In Zero Gravity mode, you feel literally weightless while reclining at a 155-degree angle, which is meant to place your legs slightly above your heart for maximum postural restoration.
Ever since purchasing the Luxe Sofa, I have been reading, working, and watching TV on it on the spot. But don't just take my word for it! Many other shoppers are leaving glowing reviews.
One said: 'After persuading my husband, we went for the two seater recliner and he absolutely LOVES it. It's such a treat to watch TV at night and be able to recline, we're kinda amazed every time... There were no issues. 10/10 recommend if you're debating whether to buy one. They regularly have great sales too, which helps!'
If you have been looking for a way to bring style into your tiny, barely big enough space without compromising comfort, the Homebody modular Luxe Sofa is 100 percent for you. Make sure you use code IDDESIGNSCO while it's still live to snag 30 percent off!
