A corner-shaped sofa in the interior is the most overall piece of furniture. As a result, it is better to opt for the most functional product.
Choosing an instance, you need to consider:
- capacity,
- number of berths
- type of upholstery fabric
- sizes.
When purchasing a sofa, make sure that it is made of environmentally friendly materials. Optimally, if it will be materials of natural origin - wood, metal, natural textiles.
The ideal choice is a wooden frame with strong springs. In a situation where the kitchen is combined with the living room, it is preferable to stay on the sofa with removable covers.
Speaking of configuration, the L-shaped design is considered a classic. But on sale you can also find models in the form of an oval or the letter "P". Their plus is in originality, and minus - in large dimensions. In a small living room, such sofas are not appropriate.
Equally important are the dimensions. The sizes of corner sofas can be different. By and large, there are 2 groups of sofas: large and small. The first will look great in studio apartments or spacious rooms. And the second should be chosen if the area of the hall is not large.
Color performance
The color of the upholstery depends on the color scheme of the room as a whole. A picturesque corner sofa in the living room can become a bright accent of its interior. Juicy shades will enliven the atmosphere, but they are not advisable to apply if they are already used in the design of the room.
If the interior is designed in rich colors, then upholstered furniture must be natural, muted colors. Upholstery in a neutral shade makes the product visually lighter. But having a light corner sofa in the kitchen is not a good idea. All contaminants are clearly visible on its surface.
Upholstered furniture of soft colors can be decorated with colorful pillows or a colorful wrap that resonates with individual interior details, whether it be curtains, tablecloths or napkins.

Before proceeding directly to the selection, make sure the appropriateness of the purchase. This model has several advantages:
- Aesthetic appearance. Modern corner models look very stylish, and to make sure of this, you just need to see photos of beautiful sofas.

Features of choosing a corner sofa
When choosing upholstered furniture, designers recommend first of all to pay attention to color and size. Of course, the possibility of transformation, the upholstery material, the width of the berth, and the availability of storage space are of considerable importance. But these options, although they influence the choice, do not determine it. It is important to choose a sofa in proportion to the living room area, so that the interior is harmonious and comfortable.
Traditionally, a corner sofa in the interior of the living room allows you to save space by providing enough space for other important elements of both the interior composition and to ensure comfort and harmony. The possibility of transformation contributes to this even more. In addition, it is this function that allows you to organize additional or still main beds. But for the sake of saving the area of the room, you should choose an angular model regardless of the area of the room.
A large corner sofa for the living room is appropriate in particularly spacious rooms. It will be proportional and harmonious over a large area.
At the same time, do not forget about the features of the shape of the product.
- Traditional L-shaped models - universal option. Such sofas can be placed partially at the window or generally non-standardly - with the corner part to the combined kitchen or dining room. Then such a sofa becomes a zoning tool.
- Unusual oval products - rather dimensional corner sofas in the interior of the living room, which will require a lot of space, but there are not so many ergonomic options for installing such models. They are appropriate exclusively in large and spacious rooms.
- U-shaped sofas in the living room interior They look luxurious, but they also require a lot of free space.
Of course, not a single sofa is actually integral - manufacturers offer modular solutions that can be assembled in different ways. For different rooms, different products are used - with a different arrangement of the corner part, because the parameters of the rooms differ.
Before choosing a corner sofa for the living room, you should carefully consider the place for it in order to choose the perfect model.
Transformation mechanisms
When choosing a corner sofa with a berth in the living room, you should pay attention to the transformation mechanism. It is worth considering who will use the sofa, how often it will be laid out, how much space for an unfolded berth is available. Although usually it does not go beyond the boundaries of the rectangle formed by the edges of the angular model. However, it all depends on the features of the mechanism.
- Among the popular folding sofas are the French and American folding beds, also called “sedaflex”. In fact, the berth is laid out precisely on the principle familiar to all. In the expanded form, a rather spacious bed is obtained, but, alas, without an orthopedic effect. That is why it is not recommended to sleep regularly on such a sofa.
- Click-clack, or the well-known "book", is laid out easily, takes up little space. The result is a fairly flat surface. But such a sofa can not be placed directly against the wall - you need a little space for folding. Although this is not so noticeable from the outside.
- Another kind of "book" - "eurobook". Unlike a whole click-clack seat, this mechanism involves the extension of the seat, and then the back rests. The result is a flat berth.
- "Pantograph" can also be called a variety of Eurobooks, but instead of wheels, another mechanism is used. This design is often called "walking." It was developed so that the mobile parts do not spoil the flooring.
Such mechanisms are usually used in direct models, in corner ones they are possible only if they are modular sofas for living rooms, when the folding part is attached to the rest of the sofa. Although a number of products require modules the size of a full bed - both single, one and a half, and a double. This is a convenient option for regular sleep, because you can choose an orthopedic bed. True, to use such a sofa a lot of space is needed - these are truly corner sofas of a premium class.
Standard solutions in corner products are replaced by more functional ones for such models.
- "Dolphin" suggests an easy pull-out mechanismwhen part of the seat extends and then rises to a common level. It turns out a flat surface of a fairly large area. The design is simple and durable. Under the seat there is a place for linen boxes.
- "Puma" is a convenient and an option for folding, because for this you just need to pull the seat, and it will neatly leave, forming an even bed. As a rule, such corner sofas consist of three parts, one of which is stationary laid out, the other two, when unfolded, take the same shape.
- “Scissors” allow you to get a full double bed in the hall by simply turning one part of the seat. Initially, such a part is at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to another, then it simply rotates and fixes with the stationary part using special hooks.
When choosing folding models, it is worthwhile to understand that they cannot be excessively large: the dimensions of the corner sofas for the living room correspond to the permissible load on the mechanisms. Therefore, if you choose a product for an extensive hall, it is worth paying attention to stationary options without transformation. Or you can pick up two identical sofas, which together will help to solve two problems at once - the proportionality of upholstered furniture and ensuring a sufficient number of beds.
Original solutions for living room furniture
As a rule, in the presence of a large room, the question arises of how best to furnish it. When there is an opportunity, and there is no need to place several functional areas here, you can choose elite corner sofas for the living room - of an unusual shape and, accordingly, size. These are semicircular, oval, C- and U-shaped products, long and stylish models.
Of course, non-standard large corner sofas are not so easy to put in a normal room, especially of an unusual shape. But, for example, radius products fit perfectly into the bay window. They can also be placed right in the middle of the room, which is especially important for a hall combined with a dining room, kitchen, etc.
The huge U-shaped sofa will look luxurious at the end of the room, although in the middle of the living room it is no less chic.
Here, modular models will also help to organize the space in the best way - they can be equipped according to your needs and the area of the hall. They are especially convenient for periodic changes in the situation. In the photo of the corner sofas you can see that the same models look different - these are modular products, the appearance and placement of which can be varied at your discretion.
High-tech style can be decorated with a round sofa. Of course, it will not be whole - such models are assembled from several parts. Most often these are quarters of a circle, less often - semicircles. By the way, the same quarters can be set differently - you get a wavy sofa. Such round models of large size can be placed around a panoramic fireplace, a cylindrical columnar aquarium or a rectangular column with a TV on one wall, and a hearth on another. Although it is difficult to call such a sofa a corner, nevertheless three quarters installed together are more like a corner, but soft.
Corner sofas for a small living room
When we choose apartments to our liking, as a rule, we pay attention to the area of each room, and rarely, as they wish, they choose small-sized rooms. But the budget and circumstances change our plans, and many are forced to equip modest apartments.As psychologists say, if you cannot change something, you can only change your attitude towards it. And designers and furniture manufacturers are ready to meet the most unexpected and original ideas. Among them is a small corner sofa in the living room. Most often, when choosing a model, a full range of requirements is put forward: there should be boxes for linen, these will be folding products, practical and functional.
Manufacturers offer modern and ergonomic solutions:
- Angular modular models of sofas will be comfortable. They usually consist of 3 square parts. Side components can be equipped with shelves and cabinets for small items, remote controls, books, phones, etc. If desired and possible, you can equip such a small corner sofa with additional modules - on both or at least one side. An additional element of a modular system - a pouf without backs - looks luxurious. In fact, it complements the corner furniture, and you get the right square. The same pouf will increase the level of comfort while watching TV and family pastime.
- Small-sized corner sofas are an ottoman on one side and a full direct sofa. The absence of a backrest on the side part frees up some space. You can put such a model in different ways - it all depends on the parameters of the room.
- A sofa for a particularly small room can be chosen from two parts instead of three, but it will still be modular. In size, it will be the same as the first version in three parts, but instead of two squares there will be a solid seat.
The corner sofa in the interior of a small living room helps to free up a lot of space, because there is no need for additional chairs. In addition, such models are placed in the corners, which, accordingly, frees up the middle of the hall.
Despite the fact that the dimensions of the corner sofa are important here, you still can not forget about comfort and practicality.
Upholstery Materials
The solution to this issue is associated with the choice of any upholstered furniture, and not just corner models. The durability, ease of care, and also the appearance of the sofa for several years depend on the quality of the material.
- Soft leather furnishings - beautiful products that emphasize the status of owners. Such models are elegant, but expensive. Of course, they look luxurious. Leather is a strong and durable material that is easy to clean. But such an assortment has drawbacks - an insignificant choice of shades and a high cost.
- Flock it is also easy to clean, remains durable with respect to mechanical damage, resistant to the effects of animal claws. But many owners of such sofas do not like such upholstery to the touch.
- Velor coating - A luxurious option for a classic living room, but to look after such upholstery is very difficult. Of course, it is soft and pleasant, but you should choose it only if you are ready to carefully and carefully care for the sofa.
- Shenill - one of the most popular types of upholstery due to a wide range of colors, durability, coating strength.

For example, someone likes gunning, and someone chooses velvet, even if there are animals and children in the house. The color is similarly chosen - even the style does not always determine the shade of the upholstery, because it is the living room furniture that can become a bright accent that will be knocked out of the general gamut.
