How Do I Keep My Modular Sofa From Moving?

Many showroom visitors frequently ask,how do I keep my modular sofa from moving?

Modular sofas are impressive pieces of furniture with many benefits. Not only do they provide ample seating but they can transform to adapt to various spaces and occasions. They are flexible furnishings that can go anywhere.

If you opt to purchase a modular sofa, there are certain things to be aware of to prevent it from moving.

Anchor your modular sofa to the wall

If you have a modular sofa, you may want to anchor it to the wall to keep it from moving around. Don't be afraid to get creative when it comes to anchoring your modular sofa to the wall. There are a wealth of options for you to choose from. Here are a few ideas:

• Cord -This is a great option if you're looking for something quick and easy that won't leave any residue on the wall. Simply tie a piece of cord between two points on the sofa and tighten it so that it is unable to shift.
• Velcro strips -This is another great option to avoid sticky residue. All you have to do is attach Velcro strips to the back of each cushion. Adhere the opposite strips to the wall and firmly press them against the wall. Although this method avoids sticky residue it's likely to cause the material of your sofa to fray.
• Sticky pads -These work well if you have hardwood floors or would prefer not to have cords or Velcro on your walls. The only downside to sticky pads is their tendency to fall off over time.

Place a heavy piece of furniture beside your modular sofa

We recommend placing a heavy object beside your modular sofa to prevent unwanted movement. Heavy objects, such as bookshelves, will ensure your sofa is held in place. Here are a few ideas of furniture pieces that will stop your modular sofas from moving:

1. Bookshelf

A simple yet effective solution to modular sofa movement is something you may already have in your home. Simply place a bookshelf on one side of your modular sofa to prevent it from moving.

2. Coffee Table

The weight of the coffee table will anchor the sofa to hinder its movement. It also acts as added storage space for your books, magazines, or other items that you want to keep within arms reach.

Our Sunset Sofa by Gamma & Dandy will look exceptionally modern with a fitting coffee table by its side. They can be custom-made with leather or velvet upholstery for a modern and stylish design.

3. Ottoman

Heavy ottomans or footstools not only halt the movement of your modular sofa but they provide a comfortable footrest. Ottomans are typically made from leather or velvet that is durable and looks great in any room.

How to stop your sofa from moving on hardwood or tile floors

To keep your modular sofa from moving around on hardwood or tile floors, use an anti-slip pad. Anti-slip pads are sold in a number of sizes and can be resized to remain discreet. These are sold at most hardware stores and are easy to apply.

Before you apply the anti-slip pads, measure the area you want to protect, cut the pads to the size you need, peel the backing off and stick it down.

There are many different styles of anti-slip pads available today, so you'll be sure to find one that fits your needs perfectly. An alternate option is textured anti-slip pads - these provide extra traction on slick surfaces like tile floors.

Place a rug underneath it to add extra stability

With a wealth of experience under our belts, we'll ensure that you make all the right choices when it comes to your furniture. If you’re not too happy with anti-slip pads, why not try a stylish rug?

Just place your rug of choice underneath your modular sofa to add stability. The rug adds security to your sofa while simultaneously amplifying the appeal of your living room.

We believe that adding a plush and stylish rug underneath the Border Sofa by Gamma & Dandy will add a touch of sophistication to your living area. Moreover, this particular sofa comes in various design configurations to fit your needs.
