Rug is 8x10. The chaise is about 20in from the bookshelf, which is my biggest concern.

Do you mean the white bookshelf in the corner at an angle? What about turning it so it's up against the wall next to the fireplace rather than at an angle. That might give more space between the corner of the sectional and the shelf.

Go to leeindustries.com. They have a fabulous selection of sectionals. The website will let you know who your lee dealer is in your area. I have a sofa and a loveseat from them. They are the most comfortable pieces of furniture. We will be purchasing a sectional from them soon. We got our furniture at Circle Furniture in Massachusetts.

love love our maiden home thompson bed and jones sectional. i did more reaearch then i care to admit befor buying and think quality and design wise its a few notches above. joybird, article, burrow are not really comparable - they are closer to the ikea end of the spectrum. i think of my maiden home stuff as rh level design but far better quality (made in north carolina) and a much more reasonable price. hope that helps!

Small space sectional; Crate & Barrel, Room & Board, someone else?

@Michele M Glad your experience with Room and Board has been so good. I too had made many purchases and once felt about them the same way. But... my last 3 purchases in a row have really soured me on them. Westport Leather Recliner - upon receipt, had a misaligned front section. (They sent a furniture repair man to replace part of the chair). Copenhagen tall bookcase with file drawer - upon receipt, file drawer would not stay fully closed and the laminate strips on front edge of 3 MDF shelves fell off within a couple of months. (After R&B missed two promise dates to pick it up for return, including causing me to have to ship it myself from Phoenix AZ to Palm Springs CA because they failed to pick it up as promised before the day I sold the Phoenix house, I ultimately donated it to a charity. Horrible experience.) And finally, Grace Table Lamp - upon receipt, had to be returned because the lamp shaft was installed crooked. Sorry, but this is not the quality I had experienced with Room & Board in the past, nor has been the level of customer service.

Yes, I would say just start looking at the different companies (they all have websites) listed above and you may find sectionals available within a couple of inches of your desired specs, which would certainly be less expensive, depending on the brand, than having one custom made. I love sectionals and just bought one from Macy’s during their Black Friday sale which was the right size I needed and didn’t break the bank. I had obsessed over the size since our living room is pretty small. Size is important, but not just length . If space is limited, then width, height, and general “bulkiness” are also important. I was considering a higher end, super comfy brand called Lovesac but it was just too big/bulky for my space. So, instead of spending 5000, I spent just a couple of thousand at Macy’s. The other fun thing you can do with a modular sectional is add to it, pretty easily! For example, I may swap out one of my end pieces for a chaise, in a couple of years. Don’t know if this is as easy to do with a custom made…. Good luck!

I would not do the chaise in a small home, unless you never entertain non-family members. If you have a group of people over, who sits in the chaise? Do you want guests putting their feet/shoes on the sofa?

I would do a sofa with an ottoman, which can be used for your feet or pushed out for a guest to sit on. You would be able to sit 5 people. It also allows you to move the ottoman to any of the 3 seats on the sofa, so you aren't just wearing out one spot for TV watching.

^^ agree a sofa with an ottoman gives you so many more choices and configurations

It might work better to try a sofa and two chairs, just so you are able to flip the layout if you want to or need too. You could also add a coffee table with ottomans so you have extra seating if you need it. Below are some of the designs we have done for clients:
