A luxury residence is defined by a number of characteristics, including location (such as near a beach or in a gated community), architecture (such as extravagant arches or majestic atriums), and decor (such as designer furniture or modern accessories). When it comes to convenience, the easiest of these three characteristics to change is the decor, as with a few new pieces situated throughout central areas of the home, a true makeover can be achieved. To this end, here are 5 exquisite sectional sofas which will add a touch of comfort - and class - to your luxury home:
