1. Maiden Home The Muir Sofa, starting at $4,100

Maiden Home's Muir Sofa is an all-time favorite here at Hunker. We actually have one in our beloved Hunker House, which our editor describes as "a modern masterpiece unlike anything we've seen before ... sleek, original, thoughtful, and somehow still fits the most important criteria: comfort." The rich wood frame adds an elevated feel while simultaneously doubling as a side table for a practical twist on a classic.

Floyd

Our very own editor-in-chief, Leonora Epstein, has this sofa in her home and talks all about it in her in-depth review. She emphasizes that "while it looks stiff/firm, there's just enough give on the bottom cushions for you to get cozy," so fear not — you can get the sleek, linear look with the comfort you crave.

Interior Define

Completely customize this piece to your liking. Select the fabric, legs, size, depth, and cushion fill. Our associate commerce editor, Pauline Lacsamana, has had the sectional version in her living room for five years and says it has stood the test of time. You can read all her thoughts here.

Castlery

"Turns out the perfect couch for a small space exists, and it's called the Pebble Loveseat," says our editor about her beloved Castlery sofa. If you have a bit more space, you can opt for the 83-inch version for $300 more.

Kardiel

A healthy blend of modern and midcentury-modern, Kardiel's Dominique couch is another Hunker favorite. Beloved by our senior social media manager, Lacey Won, this model's "clean lines and minimalist vibe are a perfect match for [her] apartment's modern aesthetic." Could this be your "perfect match" too? Check out her full review for all the details.

Modern doesn't have to mean neutral or bland. If you love the clean lines of modern or midcentury modern but feel sad because of the lack of color, this velvet sofa is made for you. With a variety of rich colors from which to choose, you can continue to embrace your personality in your modern space. In fact, a friend of Hunker, Evan Conroy, owns the Cascadia Blue 3+ Seater Sven. "We love it so much, we actually have two." He continues, "This is the perfect couch for entertaining and game nights. They are surprisingly spacious and cozily fit four people. The only call out for our dark blue couch is that it may not be the right color for someone with pets — it shows hair easily, and we even find ourselves needing to keep a lint roller handy." Noted!
