Corner sofas

Why choose a corner sofa?

Corner sofas offer generous seating while making efficient use of space. They fit neatly into room layouts, help create a sociable seating area, and can reduce the need for extra chairs or sofas. Whether you’re hosting guests or stretching out at the end of the day, they’re a practical and comfortable choice for your home.

How do I choose the right corner sofa?

When it comes to choosing your corner sofa, start by measuring your space and deciding whether an L-shaped or U-shaped corner sofa suits your layout best. You’ll also need to choose the right orientation, as corner sofas usually come in left-hand and right-hand designs. Finally, think about the material and colour that best fit your home and personal taste.

L-shaped & U-shaped corner sofas

L-shaped corner sofas are a great way to make use of unused corners, while keeping the open feeling of the room. U-shaped corner sofas suit larger living rooms and open-plan spaces, offering more seating for families, entertaining, or lounging.

Left and right-hand corner sofas

Choosing between a left-hand or right-hand corner sofa depends on your room layout. A left-hand sofa has the longer section on the left when you’re facing it, while a right-hand sofa extends to the right. The right orientation helps your sofa fit naturally in your living room and keeps walkways clear.

Large and small corner sofas

Our corner sofas come in a range of sizes, so it’s easy to find the right fit for your home. Small corner sofas are ideal for compact spaces, while larger designs give families plenty of room to relax together and socialise.

Chaise sofas

Chaise sofas have an extended seat on one side rather than a full corner section. They give you space to stretch out without needing a separate footstool and can work especially well in smaller rooms, thanks to their lighter, more open look.

Modular corner sofas

Modular sofas offer the look and comfort of a corner sofa with added flexibility. Because the sections can often be rearranged, they’re a great option if you like to update your layout or want a sofa that can adapt to a new space.

Are corner sofas good for smaller rooms?

Corner sofas can work well in smaller or awkwardly shaped rooms. By fitting neatly into a corner, they maximise seating while using floor space efficiently. They can also reduce the need for extra furniture.

Where is the best position for a corner sofa?

In many rooms, the best place for a corner sofa is against two walls, where it can make the most of the available space. However, corner sofas also work well in open-plan layouts as they can help define the living area.

When choosing a position for your corner sofa, think about walkways, windows and focal points such as a TV or fireplace.

Can a corner sofa go in the middle of a room?

Corner sofas can work well in the middle of a room, especially in larger or open-plan spaces. Placing one away from the walls can help define the seating area and create a natural divide between different zones in the room.

However, make sure there’s enough space left to walk around it easily.

How can I measure a corner sofa?

Measure the width and depth of the space where the sofa will go, leaving room for walkways and other furniture. You can also check the full dimensions of all our corner sofas. Before ordering, you should always measure doorways, hallways and staircases, for the delivery.

Are corner sofas reversible?

Some corner sofas are reversible, meaning the longer section can be placed on either side. Others come in a fixed left-hand or right-hand layout. If flexibility is important to you, a reversible or modular design could be a good option.
