HOW TO CHOSE YOUR CORNER SOFA

Corner sofas are a brilliant invention for busy homes because they allow you to relax and unwind, they can zone an open plan space and they can sit comfortably many people and pets. Perfect for family living and social gatherings, a corner sofa is the ideal choice if you’re looking to provide plenty of seating and maximise the functionality of your living space. Here is how we can help!

1.MEASURE YOUR SPACE
Your first step when buying a corner sofa will be to measure how much space you have available in the room that you’d like your corner sofa to go. Start by measuring the length of the area – including along both walls especially if placing your sofa in the corner of your room. Remember to leave room for side tables or standing lamps either side. Then measure the depth of the space taking into account any rugs or tables that will sit in front of the sofa. Then, finally the height of the space, paying attention to any radiators or shelving.

TIP: Mark out the dimensions of your new sofa on the floor using masking tape to see if it fits.

4.WHERE TO POSITION YOUR SOFA?
There’s no rule to say a corner sofa needs to live in the corner! It can easily be featured in the middle of a room, in between two rooms to separate them or across a room. Corner sofas can work great in the middle of your room or to one side. Although this depends a lot on the size and shape of your space and works best if you have an open plan space, helping to divide a room into functional areas. Whether it’s sitting snug in a corner or making a statement in the middle of a room, corner sofas work wonderfully well for large families and homes that often play host to guests but work equally well for those individuals who love a big and comfortable sofa.
