Even though the world has been opening back up, people are still spending more time at home than ever before. And, as happens when people spend unusual amounts of time together, or just caught indoors, conflicts and confrontations can increase in frequency and intensity. To keep from attacking your housemates (literally or figuratively), it is important to still spend time together having fun.
A sectional is a great way to create that fun-loving and entertaining space in your home. Whether you place it in a living room, family room, bonus room, or rec room, you and your family will have hours of entertainment and fun together. Here are just a few of the amazing entertainment ideas that can be made possible with the right modular sectional.
Role-playing games
Role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons may not be so popular as in the 90s, but it is regaining popularity among younger millennials and generation z. As such, this is a great activity that parents and teens can enjoy together. A modular sectional configured into a closed square and paired with a coffee table or ottoman provides the perfect environment for gaming sessions the whole household can enjoy.
Board games and card games
Using the same arrangement mentioned above, you and your household can enjoy hours of entertainment with board games and card games. There are a lot more options today than the traditional Monopoly or Uno, and like D&D these board games can inspire creativity and hilarity during play. Some of these board games cost as much as a downloaded Nintendo Switch game, but they offer much better interaction and many more hours of entertainment.
The modern-day conversation pit – complete with fondue
Do you want to travel back in time to the 70s? Even young adults are getting a kick out of finding vintage furniture for their homes that can be used for entertainment purposes, especially as people are not going out on the town nearly as much as they did before the pandemic.
One of the best types of bonus room or living room furniture that came out of the 70s was the conversation pit. These were large couches with deep seats set in a closed square, the middle of which might have a cocktail table for fondue, appetizers, games, or drinks. The idea was to create an intimate but relaxed atmosphere with comfortable lounging for long conversations and entertaining dinner parties.
Such simple things are once again gaining in popularity, and with the new modular sofas, you can create that 70s conversation pit when desired and have a normal sectional couch when you aren’t entertaining. Fondue is also making a comeback, so consider a cocktail table or ottoman with a hard surface for the center of your conversation pit for a truly vintage experience.
