Corner sofas are a stylish alternative to the standard two-seater or three-seater, so it's no wonder they are so popular these days. It's a good way to make the most of the space and create a cozy sitting area. Corner sofas usually have enough space for at least four people to sit on, and they're ideal for slumping back to watch TV or read a book. But how do you place a corner sofa in the living room so that it comes into its own? Here are some tips.
Remember the sizes
Once you've decided that a corner sofa is for you, the next step is to decide which particular sofa will meet your needs. The first thing to consider is the space you have available in the living room. It is very important to measure carefully to ensure that the sofa you choose will actually fit where you want to place it. Do not forget to take into account any cabinets and radiators. You may need to rearrange things to fit. Once you're sure the sofa will fit, you'll need to measure to make sure you actually get the sofa inside. Will it fit through the doorways, through the hallways and the corner on the way to its final location? There is nothing more disappointing or uncomfortable than having a piece of furniture delivered and you can't get it at home.
Which style?
Corner sofas don't come in one standard style. There are different styles with different sizes. You also have to choose whether you want the armrest on the left or right, an end without armrest or with, an end with a chaise lounge, a separate ottoman, the intermediate elements and whether you want a corner element on the left or right (or both). The shape that works best for you will largely be determined by the space you have. In short:a lot is possible! You can often compose your corner sofa yourself.
Which cover do you choose?
Just like standard sofas, corner sofas are also made from a variety of materials. You can choose one of the many types of fabric corner sofas, or go for a real leather corner sofa or one made of artificial leather. Leather sofas are the most durable sofa material and very easy to clean and maintain. Dust will always be a little more difficult to clean. However, if the sofa does not have removable washable covers, it is highly recommended that you hire professional help for major cleanings.
Where do you place the sofa?
The obvious answer to the question of where to place the corner sofa in the room is in the corner! As obvious as this may seem, it doesn't always have to be the answer. Sure, you can put it in the corner, but there's still a lot to think about. Will there be enough space to walk around it. Will it get in the way of the windows or doors? Apart from these, there are many more considerations to keep in mind. you can also place the corner sofa in the center of the room. This is fine, although this option is quite dependent on the size and shape of the room, and works best if you have a large open space. But you could also place the sofa against a straight wall. This is ideal for small spaces as you only need one wall. The sofa is placed on one side, but is still suitable for many people.
Choose the right accessories
As icing on the top, don't forget the accessories. Put some pretty colorful pillows and a blanket on the sofa to add some personality, not to mention create a sense of comfort. And to complement your sofa, you can place a large rug so that all the furniture in the room comes together nicely.
