Today everyone can afford to buy a set of upholstered furniture to decorate their living room.
A lot influences the choice of set... So, if the room is spacious, then you can choose the sofa that you just like, but if it is very small, then you should refuse massive furniture, giving preference to a corner model.
It’s not difficult to choose the type of furniture that you will like and satisfy all your desires. The basic rule that must be observed is a single style.
Decorating in a particular interior style has a positive effect on a person.
Advantages and disadvantages
Let's consider the advantages of using a corner sofa over a straight one.
Advantages | Flaws |
Has more seating, does not require the purchase of additional chairs. | It may look bulky in small rooms. |
The folding model creates a wide sleeping area. | In the absence of a replaceable corner, it is difficult to rearrange the room. |
L-shaped design fits into corners, saving space. | To protect the upholstery, you must order a special cover. |
Two sofas are better than one
In a large living room, which often receives many guests, you can implement such a design technique as using two identical sofas. How is this option beneficial?
It can allow you to eliminate the chairs, but still give you enough seating for guests. In a large room, sofas can be placed symmetrically on both sides of the coffee table. Another option is at right angles to each other.
What could be better than two sofas?
It is important to note that the models themselves do not have to be rectangular. Even a simple interior will look distinctly elegant with two semicircular sofas.
The selection rule is very simple: the more unusual the shape of the frame, the calmer the color should be. The exception is club options and those styles that require a riot of colors.
We dilute the color with bright pillows
If you think that calm colors are boring, then liven them up with bright pillows in contrasting colors (this could be, for example, shades of burgundy, lavender, marsala, etc.). This will ensure the necessary balance between elegance and dynamism.
Sofa in calm colors with mixed pillows
An equally interesting option for adding liveliness to paired sofas in calm shades is quilting the backrest. For upholstery, you can choose one of the pleasant-to-touch fabrics:
- velours;
- plush;
- velvet, etc.
Types of corner sofas
According to the types of construction, sofas are divided into four main ones:
- Modular. Consists of several blocks, which can be swapped if necessary.
- Transformable sofa. Consists of a wardrobe with a shelf, a folding bed and a sofa. During the daytime, the bed is hidden in the closet.
- Sofa bed. Solution for small apartments. When unfolded, the structure turns into a full-fledged place to sleep.
- With changeable angle. A universal module that can be moved to the left or right side of the main section.
The photo shows a country house with multi-color frameless upholstered furniture made from individual blocks.
Modular: the last word in design
A living room with a modular sofa is a modern design technique that allows you to combine several functions. The modular option is multifaceted in its capabilities. Such furniture can easily turn into a comfortable sleeping place.
Modular sofa - a successful and beautiful technique
The modular model for the living room makes it possible to combine even several dozen blocks into one whole. Currently, two module options are actively used: mobile and stationary.
Stationary
This type involves choosing a configuration at the time of ordering. All blocks are mounted rigidly, after which they are motionless.
Stationary, but at the same time modular
Mobile
This design is suitable for active people who are constantly on the move. The blocks here can be rearranged, swapped or completely removed. By varying and rearranging, you can get either a sleeping place or a work area.
Mobile option for people who like to change their surroundings
Such a sofa may look like an ordinary one in appearance; it can easily accommodate, for example, a group of friends. Later, by rearranging the blocks, you can get a comfortable sleeping place. The space savings are obvious.
Mechanisms of transformation
Corner sectional sofas have different types of mechanisms that allow you to transform the furniture into a sleeping area in different ways.
Dolphin
Reliable mechanism for frequent use. The berth automatically rises from the pull-out box.
Accordion
The sleeping place, stretching like the bellows of an accordion, moves forward and is placed on a support. The result is a double sofa bed.
Roll-out
When unfolding, one of the parts, hidden in the bottom, rolls forward and upward. The seat slides out after her, forming a berth.
Book
Classic and simple mechanism. The spring seat rises until it clicks so that the backrest assumes a horizontal position, then falls back.
Scissors
A sliding corner structure of two equilateral parts rotates and connects to form a bed. The backrest goes down.
French folding bed
A simple mechanism with a metal frame. To recline, you need to remove the upper cushions and pull the seat towards you. The mattress consists of three sections.
American folding bed
Aka "sedaflex". The sleeping place after unfolding consists of two links. The thickened mattress has orthopedic armor.
Click-clack
It differs from the classic “book” in that it allows you to fix the angle between the back and the seat in different positions.
Eurobook
To transform, you need to remove the cushions, roll the seat forward and lower the backrest.
What are the sizes of corner sofas?
The standard dimensions of corner products are 230-280 cm long and 150-180 cm wide. Large corner sofas with a length of 280 to 406 cm are most suitable for a spacious living room.
The length of small corner structures reaches only 203 cm. Mini sofas are suitable for the kitchen, children's room and office. In the hallway and bedroom, canapés look great - compact, elegantly shaped sofas with two armrests and a back.
Why put a sofa in the middle of the room?
Not all owners of residential premises know exactly how and why to place a sofa in the middle of the room and often make serious mistakes. It’s always easier to place it near the wall, which is what most people do, but modern interior design requirements dictate their own rules. Many studio apartments are equipped with large spaces that can be divided into comfortable parts, in which case a sofa of any size will be a real find.
This zoning method is often mistakenly used only for spacious living rooms. In fact, with the help of a sofa, it is quite possible to divide a too narrow space into two zones, one of which will be intended for work, and the other for relaxation. And this is just one of many examples. In addition to the excellent opportunity to balance the space, room owners can give free rein to their imagination, come up with a new design and equip themselves with the most comfortable work area.

Sofa upholstery material
Let's look at three main types:
- Leather. Expensive, but the most reliable material. It will add brutality and respectability to the atmosphere. It is durable and can be wet cleaned.
- Eco leather. At an affordable price, it has the same qualities as genuine leather, but is less difficult to care for. Eco-friendly, hypoallergenic.
- Fabric. The most suitable fabrics for upholstery are divided into pile (velor, faux suede) and lint-free (jacquard, tapestry, burlap). Pile material is durable, but is afraid of moisture, as under its influence it wrinkles and loses its appearance. The exception is flock, which is extremely easy to care for. Lint-free fabrics are also durable and aesthetically pleasing, have good breathability, and retain their original appearance for a long time.

Today, unpretentious matting fabric is especially popular. It is durable, wear-resistant, and is characterized by a variety of colors and textures.
The photo shows furniture with matting upholstery that will fit perfectly into any style.
Tips for choosing a model
When choosing stylish furniture with a corner modification, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
- presence of additional compartments;
- maximum number of sitting and sleeping places;
- wear resistance of drapery;
- form;
- ergonomics.
For the living room, it is better to choose models with natural upholstery made from high-quality fabrics. This is practical and will allow you to use the furniture for a long time. Preferring pillows with removable covers is also a more cost-effective solution.
Corner shapes are divided into standard and unusual: U-shaped or oval. The main thing is to choose the configuration of the corner model that will be combined with the overall interior of the living room.
Expert opinion
Olga Kovalenko
Since 2010 I have been engaged in interior design and architectural design.
Initially, you should decide in which corner the sofa can be placed. Since there are right- and left-handed models on sale.
The design of the living room will turn out to be original if you place two beautiful corner sofas opposite each other. But with this arrangement of furniture you can create a relaxation area only in a spacious room.
Deciding on the sizes
In order not to make a mistake with the dimensions of upholstered corner furniture, you should initially carefully measure the perimeter of the room with a tape measure.
Main characteristics of the sofa:
- seat depth;
- dimensions of the long part of the model;
- back height.
Manufacturers do not have strict requirements for the manufacture of furniture. Everyone is guided by their own standards. There are corner models in large and small sizes.
Small sofas with a corner are recommended to be installed in compact rooms or to combine seating and dining areas.

When placing a sofa near a window, you should take into account the height of the window sill so that its back does not block natural light.
Upholstery materials
When choosing a sofa for the living room, the color scheme can be different, and the drapery can be made from certain fabrics. Accordingly, the more complex the texture of the material, the more expensive it is.
The most budget-friendly fabrics are jacquard and tapestry. Their advantage:
- value for money;
- wide choice of colors.
Expensive fabrics include:
- a type of flock;
- chenille;
- velours;
- courtesan;
- eco or natural leather.
Fillers
The soft part of the sofa is the filler. The cost of the model depends on it.
- Polyurethane foam. This material does not last long. When used, such furniture develops depressions over time.
- Synthetic filler. Service life is short. Latex and Periotec base. It is recommended to choose such sofas for allergy sufferers.
- Orthopedic blocks with springs. They are an expensive choice but will last much longer.
Interesting! A module with spirals is suitable for hard surface lovers, and a module with springs is suitable for older people.
You can create an original hall design if you choose a suitable corner seating area for it. But the choice of such furniture should be taken responsibly.
How to choose a corner sofa?
To ensure that the purchased furniture pleases you and lasts as long as possible, you should decide a few questions for yourself:
- Purpose. What's more important: accommodating the whole family while watching a movie or accommodating guests for the night? Either a long multi-seat sofa or a transformer that is comfortable to sleep on will do.
- Convenience of design: for people who prefer to sit straight, furniture with a high back is suitable. If reclining is preferable, you should choose a low backrest with a comfortable headrest or even a recliner - a sofa that adapts to the shape of the body by changing the position of the backrest and extending the footrest.
- Appearance of the product. The choice of colors depends on the interior style and taste preferences of the owner.
Stylish living room design with sofa
A beautiful, thoughtful interior design always raises many questions and generally makes a positive impression. After all, often all the furniture, including sofas, are located in suitable places. Therefore, for those who are just planning to adhere to a certain style in the interior, we recommend choosing absolutely all the details taking this into account. Thanks to this, the living room will look harmonious.
As for the sofa, not only the shape is important in this matter, but also the texture and color scheme. Because in a cozy living room it often becomes the main and most important object. Most often it is installed near a wall or under a window. This is an ideal solution for small rooms. In addition, in this case the central part remains free, and the living room visually looks larger. But in this case there are no special rules, since everything depends solely on the size and shape of the living room.
But other solutions in living room interior design are also popular. You can often see that the sofa is installed in the center of the room. This is relevant if it is necessary to visually divide the room into zones. For example, in a large living room you can often see a seating area, a workplace or even a dining table. That is why a sofa is used as a separation.
In a large living room, sofas are often placed opposite each other. It always looks luxurious. Especially if they have beautiful upholstery, like velvet or velor. Of course, this placement option will not make the room larger. However, this is very convenient if you often have guests in your home. Everyone will be comfortable, and such a living room is literally designed for friendly gatherings and large companies.
Of course, the process of choosing a sofa for your living room can be difficult and sometimes tedious. To avoid this, try to carefully study the varieties. After all, thanks to this knowledge, choosing the best option will be much easier and more enjoyable.
Photos of sofas of different colors
To make upholstered furniture the focal point of your decor, use a bright upholstery color and a neutral finish as a backdrop. Red goes well with white walls. Yellow and orange shades improve mood and add coziness to the interior. Green or light green upholstery echoes natural motifs.
Blue and turquoise sofas look bright if placed among a monochromatic light decor. Olive and blue are cool shades; they bring a touch of freshness to the environment.
The photo shows a mustard-colored soft corner on a neutral white background.
Another example of a successful combination is when the sofa and the walls of the room are selected in dark colors, for example, brown or wenge.
Playing with contrasts, you can use similar colors, but a few shades lighter or darker, as well as the classic black and white combination.
The photo shows a monochrome interior with a black sofa.
The most common fabrics are neutral gray shades. Also popular is the combination of beige upholstery on a cream background, typical of discreet interiors.
Much less common are corner models in lilac or purple colors: this type of upholstery gives the room individuality. The leading place for creating romantic interiors is occupied by furniture in pink tones.

Photos of sofas in various designs
The range of modern furniture stores is incredibly wide.
With ottoman
A soft corner with an ottoman is comfortable and functional: it can serve as a table or footrest.
Sofa made of pallets
Original design made from production pallets. The unusual design will be appreciated by lovers of eco-friendly furniture and adherents of the loft style.
Combined with other furniture
Non-standard designs include furniture with a built-in bar, which can be hidden in the back or armrest, as well as corners with a table or shelves.
The photo shows a functional burgundy sofa. A bar and illuminated shelf are built into the armrests.
With carriage tie
The carriage tie has always been associated with bohemianism. Velvet and leather items decorated with crystals or rhinestones look truly luxurious. But the carriage tie has become so popular that it is used everywhere: for example, in the upholstery of multi-colored furniture as in the photo.
With different armrests
Most corner designs have comfortable soft armrests, but practical wooden ones are also found in designer interiors. Some models do not have armrests.
Chesterfield
The popular, recognizable sofa with a curved back and rounded armrests is also embodied in a corner design.
The photo shows a Chesterfield that has become many times larger, but has not lost its sophistication.
With drawings and patterns
The upholstery of corner sofas, especially if the furniture is made to order, has an endless number of variations: traditional checkered, dynamic striped and all kinds of inserts. A sofa in a patchwork or floral style looks cozy and homey.
Upholstery
Upholstery today is made from expensive natural leather, fur, leatherette, and textiles.
If you want to buy light-colored furniture, then the ideal upholstery option is flock, the advantages of which are the preservation of the original color and texture.
If there are no children or animals in the house, then you can safely buy furniture with jacquard upholstery. It looks profitable, expensive, but is not easy to care for.
When buying furniture, it is important to realize that its service life is about 5-10 years, and therefore you should not buy the first cheap option you come across, because the furniture will be used very intensively every day.

The filler must be dense, because soft material will initially be comfortable, but after that the elastic state will no longer be maintained.
Latex is the most expensive and most durable filler for upholstered furniture.
Forms
The shape of the corner structure is selected depending on the purpose of the sofa and the layout of the room. Low furniture visually raises the ceiling. Round models look advantageous only in the middle of the room. Symmetrical U-shaped structures can be placed either in the center or close to the wall.
The photo shows a stylish sofa with a low back.
Key points when choosing
Let's start by deciding what kind of sofa you need - a fashionable and bright one that will become an accent in the interior of the room or one that will elegantly fit into the living room without attracting undue attention to itself.
A fashionable and bright accent to any room
Big or small
The size of the piece of upholstered furniture should be commensurate with the parameters of the living room. Spacious rooms with high ceilings and a large area can be furnished with large, solid furniture. Here a large sofa will be organic.
In a small living room, the size of upholstered furniture should be more modest. Otherwise, the room will seem even smaller and lose its appeal.
It is important not to overdo it with sizes
The parameters are taken into account when determining a place for it. For a living room of modest size, this issue is very important. Therefore, you need to choose the size and future location in advance.
For a small living room, it is not advisable to purchase a sofa that is too large and can seat more than three people. Otherwise, the interior will be perceived as overloaded with furniture and heavy.
In a small living room - a small sofa
The style of the living room determines the interior
Depending on the style of the room, a model is selected. Even the wrong upholstery color can cause dissonance. This is unacceptable for a stylish room.
Furniture to match the interior
Each style direction has its own distinctive features, neglect of which will lead to the fact that instead of a noble environment you can get an absurd interior.
Noble interior furnishings
Why is it needed?
In fact, the answer to this question determines which model is needed. Applications may include:
- watching TV;
- frequent reception of guests;
- use as a sleeping place.
Decide why you need it
Depending on the purpose, you should select a model with or without a folding mechanism, the degree of wear resistance of the upholstery, the presence of an orthopedic mattress or the presence of spring blocks.
Or as a sleeping option
Quality and price - who wins
When choosing the best option for yourself, the quality of the item cannot be neglected. Good upholstered furniture cannot be very cheap. Very durable, high quality models are made from solid wood, which is used for the frame. Simpler options are made from chipboard.
Durable chipboard frames
If you are looking for a folding model, then you should not have any complaints about the mechanism responsible for turning the sofa into a sleeping place.
Equipped with a good orthopedic mattress
Equipping with an orthopedic mattress also increases the price. This point is especially important if the sofa will be used regularly for sleeping.
Other furniture
When purchasing a separate piece of furniture, you need to consider how well it will fit with those already in the living room. There can be no minor details here. The style, color, type of wood, color and upholstery material are important.

Nimble pets: coping with the problem
Do you have a dog or cat that is partial to upholstery materials?
Then your choice is fabric with increased wear resistance:
1flock;
2 chenille;
3 microfiber.
In this case, the sofa will have a chance to serve for a long time without restoration measures. Along the way, pay attention to models with medium-height legs, which make it easy to clean under the sofa.
Models with legs are very easy to clean
Upholstery with special impregnation, which gives the material dirt- and water-repellent properties, would be useful.
Examples of sofas in the interior of an apartment
Thanks to the variety of models, choosing furniture suitable for any type of room will not be difficult.
Living room
Most often, a corner sofa is located in the hall - the main room, where you can gather with the whole family or receive guests. You can read recommendations about the location of the sofa in the living room and evaluate photographs of real interiors in this article.
Photo of corner sofas in the kitchen
A corner sofa turns the kitchen into a dining room. In a large room, an upholstered structure with a dining table can be easily positioned. It can accommodate from 4 to 7 people. You can also use a kitchen sofa to zone the space, which is especially important for studios.
The photo shows a corner sofa for the kitchen, which separates the seating area from the dining area.
A corner sofa helps to ergonomically use the most problematic areas - a corner or a niche, which allows you to save space. In addition, many kitchen corners come with functional storage drawers.
In the photo there is a kitchen with a corner sofa that serves as an additional sleeping place.
To the children's room
Thanks to the variety of colors and shapes, a corner sofa is also suitable for a children's room. It can become a bed for a friend who comes to visit for the night, but it is not suitable as a permanent sleeping place: for a child it is better to purchase an orthopedic mattress.

To the balcony or loggia
With the help of a furniture corner, relaxation on the balcony can be organized with special comfort. For open spaces, it is recommended to select a frame made of durable wood or rattan, as well as wear-resistant upholstery.
The photo shows a structure made of pallets with mint accents, softening the roughness of the improvised frame.
To the bedroom
If the area of the room allows, then corner furniture can be placed in the bedroom, which in this case will serve as a living room.
Interesting design ideas with photo examples
Manufacturers take into account all the requests and wishes of modern buyers. Today, choosing a soft corner to suit your taste will not be a problem.
How to place a corner sofa in a room?
The most popular option for arranging corner furniture is close to the walls. This uses an area that usually remains empty and creates a cozy corner. Opposite there may be a TV or fireplace.
Another way to place it is by the window. It will be difficult to approach it, but it will free up two walls for other furniture.
If the window has a bay window, it is recommended to place the sofa in the middle, but this option is only appropriate in a large room. With the help of upholstered furniture it is easy to implement zoning: for example, to separate the guest area from the kitchen.

- Scandinavian and Japanese styles are an offshoot of minimalism. The Scandinavian direction is characterized by light finishes and comfortable upholstered furniture. In the Japanese style, natural materials predominate and an elegant sofa with low legs is appropriate.
- Elegant oriental style often uses patterned silk upholstery and furniture with lots of details.

Selecting a furniture set
It has been repeatedly said that the living room is a very important room in the entire apartment, regardless of its size.
The living room is a place where the whole family gathers to spend leisure time and receive guests.
In the living room, it is important to create the same interior that is conducive to pleasant gatherings and heart-to-heart conversations.
Furniture plays a special role in creating the intended interior, in particular, classic upholstered furniture for the living room.
A special atmosphere must be created in the hall, and therefore one cannot do without sofas and poufs - in this way the living room will not only be elegant, but also homely and comfortable.
The most affordable furniture option is one with a frame made of chipboard. The main advantage of such furniture is its low cost.
The quality of such furniture is also not the best, and during operation the furniture emits substances harmful to health.
Of course, not everyone can financially afford to purchase a set of upholstered furniture for the living room that is made from expensive natural wood, but it is important that at least the frame is made from a material that does not harm health.
An alternative to furniture made of wood is furniture with a metal frame. Of course, such furniture will not fit into every interior, but this solution is excellent for a modern or high-tech living room.
Recommendations for choosing textiles
Corner furniture accessories should fit harmoniously into the decor through the use of similar shades or textures.
- Cape, blanket, bedspread. They have both a practical and decorative function. If desired, you can cover the upholstery with a blanket to protect it from dirt. If you cover the sofa with a blanket, the atmosphere will become homely.
- Pillows. Traditional decoration of corner furniture. They can be in harmony with armchairs, curtains and other interior elements.
- Carpet. Visually unifies the space, combining the shades used in the decor.
Which rooms are suitable for zoning
It should be remembered that you can place a sofa in the middle of almost any room. With a competent approach and following all the rules, the interior will turn out perfect, even if we are talking about a small living space. You can entrust the design development to specialists or create everything yourself, showing creativity and imagination. It is best to draw up a floor plan on a piece of paper or in a special program to see in advance how it will look in the end.
There are situations when installing the sofa exactly in the center is the only option available. It is relevant for rooms with a large number of windows and doorways; you can place such furniture exactly in the middle or move it slightly towards the window, leaving a large space behind. In too narrow rooms, reminiscent of wide corridors, it helps to visually make them wider and divide them into two separate zones where you can place other additional details.
