"Amazing product, service, and delivery. We previously had a Crate & Barrel sofa that cost more — and these two from Made By Inch are leagues better."
Hermosa Beach, California
The LA renter's furniture problem
You have moved twice since you bought your last sofa. It has moved with you once.
Most LA renters move every one to three years. From a studio in Silver Lake to a 1-bedroom in Los Feliz. From a 1-bedroom in Echo Park to a 2-bedroom in Glassell Park. Every time you move, the sofa is either wrong for the new room, ends up listed on Facebook Marketplace at a loss, or stays behind altogether. You have been in that position. You either left the sofa behind or took it somewhere it did not belong — and you have been settling for it ever since.

A Made By Inch modular sofa costs the same or less than a comparable piece from RH — and works in every apartment you will ever live in.
What happens to a standard sofa when an LA renter moves
Your current sofa was configured for your current room. The next apartment has a different layout — different wall lengths, different door positions, different proportions. The sofa almost works but never quite fits.
Modular fix → Reconfigures to match any new room layout. Same sections, different arrangement.
Every LA renter has done this. Or knows someone who has. You spend $1,400 on a sofa, it does not work in the new apartment, you list it for $800 and accept $600. Then you buy another one.
Modular fix → The sofa moves with you. No listing. No loss. No starting over.
Moving day reveals what the floor plan did not — the new place has a narrow hallway, a tight stairwell turn, or a door that opens the wrong way. The sofa that fit through the last door does not fit through this one.
Modular fix → Individual sections are designed to carry through any standard LA apartment door.
If you are renting, the temptation is to wait — to buy the sofa you actually want once you have a permanent place. That wait can last a decade in Los Angeles.
Modular fix → Buy the sofa you want now. It works in your current apartment and every apartment after it.
Three rooms — one sofa
The same sections reconfigure in every apartment.
Pick any LA neighbourhood you have lived in. The sofa below has been there. And it looked right in every room.
Today
Silver Lake - 1 Bedroom
850 sq ft · 12ft living room wall
L-shape · 4 sections
The corner configuration maximises the wall. Sections 1, 2, 3, and the corner module connect to create an L-shape that fits the room exactly. Silver Lake apartments have walls in the right places for this — and the sofa knows it.
Next year
Echo Park - Studio
600 sq ft · open plan
Straight · 3 sections
The corner module stays in storage. Sections 1, 2, and 3 connect in a straight line — a compact sofa that uses the studio's long wall without overwhelming the space. Echo Park studios have exactly this kind of wall.
Two years from now
Los Feliz - 2 Bedroom
1,100 sq ft · open plan
U-shape · 5 sections
A fifth section added as you add more space to your life. The corner module returns. The same sofa now anchors a proper living room — looking like it was always designed for this apartment. In Los Feliz, it usually was.

Build your configuration
How many sections is right for your current room?
Every configuration below reconfigures into every other configuration when you move. Choose based on your current room — We will plan your future rooms at the consultation.
3 sections
Compact Straight
The right starting point for studios and compact 1-bedroom apartments. Three seat modules in a straight line — 90 to 100 inches total. Reconfigures into an L-shape when you add a corner module on your next move.
Best for: Studios · 1BR under 700 sq ft
4 sections
L-Shape or Chaise
Three seat modules plus a corner or chaise module — the configuration that works in more LA apartments than any other. In the 1-bedroom it creates an L-shape. In the studio it becomes a compact chaise. In the 2-bedroom it becomes a U-shape that finally gives the room the anchor it deserves.
Available from 96" · Custom to your wall lengths
5 sections
U-Shape or Full L
The full suite — five sections that create a U-shape for an open-plan living room or a deep L-shape for a larger apartment. If you are in a 2-bedroom now, this is the configuration that feels complete. If you are in a 1-bedroom, buy four sections and add the fifth when you move up.
Best for: 2BR · 1,000–1,400 sq ft · Open plan
Bring your room measurements and floor plan. We will help you find the right configuration.
The investment
Buy it once. Use it for ten years.
The average LA renter spends $800 to $1,400 on a sofa, moves twice, and replaces it at least once. Over ten years that is two or three sofas at $1,200 each — plus the Facebook Marketplace losses. A Made By Inch modular sofa bought today for the same price works in every room you move into for the next decade. The maths are straightforward. Most furniture stores hope you do not notice.

Modular sofas we have made for Los Angeles renters.
How it works
From your current room to every room after it.
No furniture store has ever asked you where you plan to move next. We does — because the number of sections you start with should account for the 1-bedroom you are in today and the 2-bedroom you are likely to move into in the next two years.
Come in with your current room dimensions.
Visit our showroom at 321 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach. Bring the dimensions of your current apartment and your door widths. Tell us about the neighbourhoods you plan to stay in, the likely size of your next place, and what you want from the sofa long-term. The conversation is about the next ten years, not just the next lease.
We design sections for now and later.
No salesperson at a furniture store has ever asked you where you plan to move next. We do — because the number of sections you start with should be based on your current room and your likely future rooms. You choose the fabric and fill. You take samples home. You decide knowing what the sofa looks like today and what it can become tomorrow.
We build and deliver in 4–6 weeks.
Your sections are handbuilt in Los Angeles. White-glove delivery into your current room, sections connected, sofa assembled. When you move next year, the sections come apart, carry through the door, and reconnect in whatever configuration works in the new room. Every section is covered by a lifetime warranty.
Tell us where you live now. We'll plan the next three apartments.
You have just seen what a sofa built for your entire LA renting life looks like. The next step is one 45-minute conversation at our Hermosa Beach showroom — and you will leave knowing exactly how many sections you need, which fabric works best, and when your sofa arrives.

Common questions
Questions about modular sofas in LA — answered.

What is a modular sofa and how does it work in a Los Angeles apartment?
A modular sofa is a sofa built from individual sections — seats, corner pieces, ottomans, and armrest units — that connect together in different configurations. In a Los Angeles apartment, this means the sofa can be arranged as a straight sofa, an L-shape, a U-shape, or a chaise configuration depending on the layout of each room you live in. At Made By Inch in Hermosa Beach we build custom modular sofas for LA renters with sections sized to your current apartment and designed to reconfigure in any future room you move into.
Are modular sofas good for LA renters who move frequently?
Yes. A custom modular sofa is the best furniture investment an LA renter can make precisely because it moves with them. Most LA renters move every one to three years — from a studio in Silver Lake to a 1-bedroom in Los Feliz to a 2-bedroom in Echo Park. A standard sofa is either too big, too small, or the wrong configuration for each new room. A modular sofa from Made By Inch reconfigures to fit whatever room comes next. You buy it once and it works for the next ten years of apartments.
Can you build a custom modular sofa for a small Los Angeles apartment?
Yes. Made By Inch builds custom modular sofas specifically sized for small Los Angeles apartments. Each section is built to your current room dimensions — typically 28 to 34 inches deep and 30 to 36 inches wide per module — so the combination fits your specific floor plan. When you move to a new apartment, the same sections reconfigure into the right layout for that room. We build modular sofas for studio apartments, 1-bedroom apartments, and 2-bedroom condos across Los Angeles from our Hermosa Beach showroom.
What is the difference between a modular sofa and a sectional sofa in Los Angeles?
A sectional sofa is a fixed configuration — an L-shape or U-shape that cannot be rearranged. A modular sofa is built from individual sections that connect in any configuration and can be separated and reconfigured when you move. In Los Angeles, where renters frequently move between apartments of different sizes and layouts, a modular sofa is significantly more practical than a fixed sectional because it adapts to each new room rather than requiring the buyer to sell and replace the sofa with every move.
How many sections does a custom modular sofa need for a Los Angeles apartment?
For most Los Angeles apartments, a custom modular sofa works best with three to five sections. A studio apartment typically needs three sections — two seat modules and one corner or chaise module. A 1-bedroom apartment in Silver Lake or Echo Park typically works best with four sections. A larger 2-bedroom or open-plan apartment can accommodate five or more sections. At Made By Inch in Hermosa Beach, Kerri helps every LA renter choose the right number of sections based on their current room and their likely future rooms.
How much does a custom modular sofa cost in Los Angeles?
Custom modular sofas from Made By Inch are competitively priced with premium furniture retailers — without retail markup. Many Los Angeles renters find a handcrafted Made By Inch modular sofa costs the same or less than a comparable modular piece from RH or a premium LA showroom, and lasts significantly longer because every section is built to the same frame and fabric standard. Pricing depends on the number of sections, configuration, and fabric choice. Book a free consultation at our Hermosa Beach showroom at 321 Pier Avenue for an exact quote.
Do modular sofas hold together well in a Los Angeles apartment?
Yes. Every Made By Inch modular sofa uses a hidden connector system on all joining faces — the sections lock together and do not shift during normal use. The connector system is designed to be permanent in daily use and removable for reconfiguration — you feel one sofa, not a collection of pieces. The kiln-dried hardwood frame and high-resilience foam fill in every section is built to the same standard as our fixed sofas. Every modular sofa comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame and construction.
