If you're like most people, you probably think of modular sofas as trendy and expensive pieces of furniture. And you would be right - modular sofas can be quite pricey. That's why so many celebrities and popular influencers have opted for modular couches to stand out in the crowd of couches. Modular sofas may be expensive (if you buy as many sections as you can), but they are also incredibly comfortable and versatile. In this article, we will discuss why you might want to invest in a modular sofa of your own, and why celebrities love them!
Modular Sofas for Popular Influencers
Modular sofas first caught my eye as I was scrolling TikTok and came across a video from @victoriaparis. This TikTok influencer has taken to completely redesigning her space with the help of interior designer @brotherbyrd. Check out her TikTok with her orange modular sofa here.
As you can see, that is the funkiest couch I've ever seen. I never knew a sofa could exist in that many sections. I desperately needed to know where she got it, but in typical influencer fashion, she was guarded. Every comment that asked where she got it from was ignored, and she never mentioned it on any social media platform. Victoria Paris was simply reveling in her quality modular sofa, and who's to blame her?
After digging through pages of finding modular sofas that looked similar, but not similar enough, I finally found it. 
An Instagram account called @midcenturyla supplied Victoria Paris with her modular sofa. It's called the Steve Chase Sofa in a Maharam fabric. The rounded edges, the bright orange color, and overall uniqueness of the piece make me (and all the others in her comments section) want to buy one of our own.
What are modular sofas?
If you were wondering what exactly classifies a modular sofa as a modular sofa, it is the fact that it comes in sections. These sections can be put together in different ways depending on the size and shape of your room. They are popular because they allow more freedom in creatively designing your space. Push them all together to make a giant bed, or break them apart into separate seats.
How to separate modular sofas
There are different ways to separate modular sofas based on the style you have bought. Some require simple physical exertion (a pull here, a push there). Others require you to locate the zippers or bolts holding the cushions together.
Chrissy Teigen is a celebrity spotted with a modular sofa of her own, in this Instagram post. It seems to be Mario Bellini's Camaleonda (according to this Vogue article). It is a modular sofa I have seen all over Instagram. If you look closer, you can see zippers on the sides of her cushions. This does not mean they are zippered together but shows how modular sofas also have easily removable covers for cleaning, only adding to their allure.
Why are modular sofas so expensive?
Modular sofas are more expensive than your average sofa because they are made to be versatile, and come in sections that (commonly) have separate price tags. This is because you can quite literally build your own modular sofa. Do you want a modular sofa for a small space? Buy only two pieces, and stick them together.
This modular sofa is one we had in our very own Austin furniture store. It is the Modular Sofa by Urban Chic, and just recently got bought in its entirety. The price of the corner section was $677 and the prices of the middle sections were $622. Add them up and you have the full price of the modular sofa, but again, you don't need to get all the pieces.

So, should you buy a modular sofa?
Celebrities are not the final say in what type of furniture you should buy from your home. Even if someone like Kylie Jenner makes it look cool by putting the modular sofa (Are you ready?) outside. 
Check out her post here.
You have to be a certain type of rich to blow a bunch of money on a sofa and leave it up to the elements, but Kylie Jenner is a certain type of rich. Modular sofas, however, are not exclusively for the wealthy. If you'd like to save up to have a unique piece of furniture that stands out in your home, then do it. Even if you want two sections to create a little loveseat, you can definitely find a modular sofa for a smaller space.
