Q. Hello!  When I found your website I was so excited to see what you have to offer and think this will be perfect for what we need. We are currently making our attic space into a teen area for our daughter and her friends to hang out. It’s a small space that is L shaped and 99″ by 48″. It needs to become a comfy lounging area with a fabric that can handle teenagers! Can you recommend a layout, or give us a few ideas to get started? Really appreciate your help and look forward to placing an order!

A. What a fun project, Janice! We’re sure your daughter is greatly anticipating her new space! Jen and I think a modular look will be perfect o make this attic space young and modern. We suggest you create an extra long couch with our sectional units and leave one end armless. We like the Brook style for you, with the modern curved arm and the clean modern lines of tight back cushions.

We suggest using this layout. It is composed of 1 Brook Left arm, and 3 Brook Armless units. The total length of this layout is 94″.

This look is similar to the Brook style sectional pictured here, minus one Right arm.

Next, add cozy corner ottomans in coordinating patterns. These fun, cube-shaped ottomans can be pushed up in a cluster to one side of the sectional to provide a big modular space for the girls to spread out.

Choose a fabric for the sectional, and 1 or 2 coordinating patterns for throw pillows and ottomans. Here are some fabrics that are modern, bold, young and, (eh hem) washable.
