How To DIY a Sectional Sofa By Simpson Strong-Tie Staff
W
e have paired up with Jaime Costiglio from That’s My Letter to bring you free plans for a DIY sofa and ottoman.
Most people have a family room or another designated space where they watch TV or play games. In my home, we have an open first floor with a section for more formal gatherings and a separate space for family time. In the formal space, we have a seating arrangement with lots of decorative pillows (because more pillows equals fancy, right?). The kids are not allowed to sit in this area. Conversely, in our casual family area, we have a battle-worn microfiber sectional that the kids are allowed to lounge and relax on. Let’s just say that the sectional has seen better days. This couch is a point of contention between my husband and me. He hates this sofa with a passion. He wants to throw this sofa out and buy a new leather sectional. He argues that leather may cost more, but it won’t stain as easily from the kids spilling drinks on it. I, on the other hand, don’t want to buy a new sofa until the kids (both toddlers) are old enough to appreciate furniture. The struggle is real. So when Jaime proposed a DIY sofa project for a playroom, I couldn’t say yes fast enough. This DIY sofa uses Rigid Tie® RTC2Z connectors, so it’s easy to build.
