Why Choose a Corner Style
An L shape layout gives you more seating than a straight sofa of the same length. It also brings a few practical benefits.
- It uses an empty corner that would otherwise go to waste.
- It seats more people for film nights and gatherings.
- The chaise end gives you room to stretch out.
- It creates a cosy social spot in open plan rooms.
- It can also divide an open plan room into zones.
Pick Your Size
Match the size to your room before you think about colour.
- A small corner sofa suits flats and compact living rooms.
- A large corner sofa suits open plan spaces and bigger households.
| Size | Typical longest side | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Up to 250 cm | Compact rooms |
| Medium | 250 to 280 cm | Most living rooms |
| Large | 280 cm and above | Open plan spaces |
Sizes vary by style so always check the product page.
Left or Right Hand
A right hand corner sofa has the longer section on your right as you face it. A left hand style is the mirror image. Stand where the sofa will sit and decide which wall suits the long side.
Choose Your Material
- Fabric feels soft and warm with a wide range of colours.
- Chenille has a woven texture that hides marks. Camden Chenille Fabric is one example.
- Velvet adds a plush and luxurious look.
- Cord gives a chunky ribbed finish for daily wear.
- Faux leather wipes clean in seconds.
Colours to Consider
Grey and black hide everyday marks and suit modern rooms. Cream and beige keep a small room light and airy. Brown and warm earthy shades add a cosy feel. Blue brings a bold touch to a neutral scheme.
Seat Depth and Comfort
A deeper seat suits lounging and film nights. A firmer and shallower seat suits people who like to sit upright. Check the seat depth on the product page and think about how you will use the space.
Where to Place It
Place the long side against your longest wall. Keep about 70 cm clear for walking space. Do not block doors or radiators. A rug under the front legs helps to anchor the whole layout. If the sofa floats in the room, leave a gap behind it for easy movement.
Plan the Delivery Route
Large sofas can struggle in tight hallways and stairs. Measure the whole route before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to arrange cushions on a corner sofa?
Put the largest cushions in the corner and work outwards with smaller ones. Use odd numbers such as three or five per section. Mix two plain colours with one pattern. Keep the seat areas clear so people can sit comfortably.
How to measure a corner sofa?
Measure each side of the L from end to end. Then measure the depth and the height. Compare these with your wall lengths and leave about 70 cm of walking space. Finally check your doors, hallways and stairs.
Which is the best corner sofa?
The best one fits your room and your routine. Choose chenille or cord for busy family homes. Choose faux leather for easy cleaning. Pick a smaller L shape for compact rooms and a larger one for open plan spaces.
Which type of sofas are trending now?
Modular corner styles lead the trend because they adapt to your room. Curved shapes and deep comfy seats are also popular. Textured fabrics such as chenille and velvet are favoured. Warm earthy colours are replacing cool grey.
