This Gorgeous Sectional Changed My Mind About Light-Colored Couches, and It’s on Rare Sale for Cyber Monday

I used to be firmly against having a light-colored couch in my home. It was mainly because my dog’s black hair gets everywhere, but I also appreciate that stains and messes don’t show up as easily on my dark navy sectional. Don’t get me wrong — it’s still a pain to clean. The cushions aren’t removable, so I end up covering the whole thing up with sheets or mats.

But everything changed when I was scrolling through Instagram and discovered a sectional that completely made me rethink my stance on light-colored couches. I’ve even deemed it my “dream couch” in my house. Say hello to the gorgeous French blue 7th Avenue Modular Sectional. It’s so nice that it might just become your dream sofa, too. 

The soft, muted French blue against the lush velvet performance fabric made this modular sectional “love at first sight,” but what impressed me was that it’s also water-repellent, stain-resistant, and customizable so you can craft your sofa to fit your home, whether it’s a small space or has a large open floor plan.

The modular design of the sectional allows you to add as many seats as you need, starting at three seats and going up to nine seats (or more). Other configurations include having a chaise, double chaise, corner or open corner, U-sectional, lounger, or U-sectional lounger. Don’t forget that you can add an ottoman (or two!), as well as make anything a storage seat or ottoman. 

And that’s all before you get to the color and fabric selection — there are seven color choices for the performance woven chenille fabric, 11 for the premium performance velvet, and four for the performance textured weave — and picking out the sofa size and seat depth. 

You can choose a classic seat depth of 39 inches or go for the extra-deep option at 47 inches. There’s a standard-size couch, measuring 132 inches, and a slim version, measuring 112 inches, but if you have a smaller space or specific dimensions you’re working with, you can visit a showroom (there are locations in Oregon, California, Colorado, Texas, Nevada, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, and Florida) or email the team to work with them on that! Then come the other configurations. 

My ideal configuration? I’ve been eyeing the five-seat modular corner lounger sectional that’s extra deep, has at least one storage ottoman, and comes in the French blue color I’ve been dreaming about. 

If you’ve been on the fence about purchasing a sectional from 7th Avenue, now’s the right time to buy. 7th Avenue is having its biggest sale of the year for Black Friday and Cyber Monday with 10% off sitewide and free pillows! Use code BFCM.
