Kenna Modular Sectional: Layouts, Modules, and Everyday Care

A Kenna arrangement starts with a list of pieces: the seats with arms, the armless seat, and any ottoman or console you choose. Put that list beside your room measurements. You can then see what will stay in place for everyday sitting and what you might move for reading or a different conversation arrangement.

Know which pieces you are choosing

For the examples here, the Kenna 3 Seat Modular Sofa has a left-arm seat, one armless seat, and a right-arm seat. Adding an ottoman creates a place to extend your legs. The ottoman can also be placed away from the sofa when you want the floor in front of the seats open.

Dimensions were checked October 31, 2026. The Kenna Modular 4 Seat Sofa-Chaise Sectional product name uses “4 Seat”; the module list provides three positions with backrests and an ottoman. Use that distinction when counting the seats you want for an evening with guests.

Compare a straight sofa, a chaise, and a separate ottoman

The plans below use the same hypothetical 16-by-14-foot room. A 36-inch strip is reserved along one side as an example walking route. The furniture footprints use the listed dimensions. Replace the example room and route with your own measurements, then add the actual doors, television, and other furniture to your plan. Our modular sofa configuration guide compares how L-shaped, U-shaped, and chaise arrangements affect access. Use the modular sofa collection to compare a different series when its footprint or module choices suit your room better.

Straight three-seat layout

Pieces: left-arm seat, armless seat, right-arm seat. Sofa footprint: 130.7 by 41.7 inches. Backed seats: three. This arrangement leaves the area in front of the sofa available for approaching any seat and placing a coffee table.

In the illustrated room, the 130.7-inch width leaves 61.3 inches across the room for the combined side spaces. Reserving 36 inches for the route leaves 25.3 inches at the other side. Doors, baseboards, curtains, and nearby furniture can reduce the space actually available.

Chaise-style layout for television or reading

Pieces: the same three seats plus one ottoman. Published configuration footprint: 130.7 by 82.7 inches. Backed seats: three, with an extended-leg position in front of one end seat.

Place the ottoman at the end that leaves the room's entrance usable. For reading, choose the end with suitable light and a reachable surface for a book. For television, sit in that position and check the view before deciding where the ottoman will stay. Sony’s TV viewing-distance guidance accounts for screen size and display resolution, with adjustment for the room and viewer. Test the view from the seat you will use most.

Separate-ottoman layout for conversation

Pieces: the same three seats and one ottoman. Individual footprints: 130.7 by 41.7 inches for the sofa and 44.9 by 40.9 inches for the ottoman. Backed seats: three. The overall spread depends on the gap and direction you choose. The separately listed Kenna Ottoman provides the dimensions for that movable footrest.

The second diagram uses an illustrative 18-inch gap between sofa and ottoman, making the combined front-to-back span 100.6 inches. The right-side route stays open. Test the gap with your own approach to the seats; moving the ottoman farther away creates more entry space and increases the total spread.

Move the part that changes the activity

For a movie night, bring the ottoman in front of the seat where you want to stretch out. For reading, place it before the seat nearest your lamp. When friends visit, move it to the planned separate position so guests can approach the backed seats without stepping around a chaise projection.

1. Clear books, drinks, and loose objects from the pieces you will move.
2. Identify the left-arm, armless, and right-arm modules and keep the arms at the intended outside edges of the row.
3. If connector hardware is installed, release it using the instructions supplied for that hardware before separating pieces.
4. Lift the furniture with suitable help. Dragging can loosen joinery or damage the furniture.
5. Set the pieces on the planned outlines. Re-engage any required connectors, align the bases, and return the cushions to their positions.
6. Sit down, stand up, and walk past the arrangement. Check the module spacing and the route again.

Keep the original item numbers and connection instructions for future additions. Send us those details when adding a Kenna piece so we can help identify the right component for your arrangement. For a shared lift, agree on start, stop, and lower commands with the person helping; the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety includes this coordination in its team lifting and furniture handling guidance.

Choose the console when you need storage and a tabletop

The Kenna Storage Console Table is the piece that supplies the storage compartment and wooden top. Add it explicitly to the module list when those functions matter to your setup. Its 13-inch width also changes the space taken by the arrangement.

For an initial width estimate, a 13-inch console inserted into a 130.7-inch straight arrangement produces a 143.7-inch combined width. Confirm the intended assembly and component fit for your order. Mark space to open the top, and check that the person in the next seat can reach the surface and enter the seat comfortably.

A console can hold small items beside a seat. Keep a separate table if other seats still need a reachable place for drinks. Choose storage by the items you expect to put inside, with room for the lid to operate.

Separate the support structure from the loose cushions

Kenna's loose seat and back cushions contain a blend of fiber and sterilized feathers. The supporting seat structure includes foam. The soft outer cushions change shape as you sit, so include a little cushion arranging in your normal routine if you prefer a tidy outline.

After use, lift and redistribute the fill in a loose cushion by hand, then return it evenly to the seat or back. Rotate the reversible cushions between suitable matching positions to spread use. Follow the shape you observe: a cushion that has shifted needs repositioning, while one that remains deeply uneven after arranging deserves a photograph and a closer check. Our guide to checking modular sofa gaps distinguishes a cushion shifting above a stationary base from a module moving across the floor.

Use the care directions for the specific part

For the current Kenna four-seat sofa-chaise configuration, our Material & Care instructions specify the following:

• Fixed upholstered areas: blot spills promptly with a clean absorbent cloth. The stated cleaning code is S, with a water-free stain remover for spot treatment.
• Cushion covers: dry clean only. Avoid steam treatment.
• Placement: keep indoor upholstery away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or moisture.
• Moving: lift the furniture instead of dragging it.

Use the label and instructions supplied with your exact upholstery option when arranging cleaning. If the label and an online description differ, send us a photograph of the label and your order details before treating the fabric. The dry-clean instruction above applies to the removable cushion covers; the S-code spot-cleaning instruction applies to the fixed areas. Our cloud couch cover and upholstery care guide explains how to separate those care instructions before choosing a cleaning method.

The Canadian Conservation Institute describes cumulative fading and fibre damage from light in its textile care guidance on light exposure. Keep Kenna upholstery out of direct sunlight as specified in its care instructions.

Kenna layout and care questions

Does every Kenna sofa include hidden storage?

No. The separately listed Kenna Storage Console Table provides the storage compartment and wooden top. Include that module in your order if you want those functions, and allow for its 13-inch width and the space needed to open it.

How many people can sit in the four-piece sofa-chaise arrangement?

The four-piece arrangement has three backed seats and one ottoman. Count three backed sitting positions when planning seating for a group. The ottoman supplies the extended-leg position in the chaise arrangement and has no backrest.

Can I switch the chaise side?

You can plan the ottoman in front of the other end seat when the pieces and their connection instructions allow that arrangement. Keep the left-arm and right-arm seats at the proper ends, release any installed connectors before moving, and lift the ottoman into place. Test the new layout against the doorway and walking route.

Can I machine wash Kenna cushion covers?

No, for the current Kenna four-seat sofa-chaise covers addressed here: their Material & Care instructions specify dry cleaning and prohibit steam. Use the instructions supplied with your exact cover when scheduling cleaning. If your label gives different directions, send us the label and order details so we can resolve the correct care method for that upholstery.

Will the Kenna three-seat sofa fit in a small living room?

It needs a 130.7-by-41.7-inch sofa footprint plus room to approach the seats and use the surrounding furniture. Mark that outline on the floor and try the doorway, tables, and walking route. If it occupies space needed for daily movement, compare a smaller Kenna configuration or another compact sofa before choosing the three-seat layout.
