How to choose

The corner sofa in the interior is one of the largest pieces of furniture, so it is more convenient to purchase multifunctional models. When choosing the right model, you should pay attention to:

spaciousness;
the number of sleeping places (this is especially important for one-room apartments, where it is not possible to equip a full-fledged bedroom);
upholstery material;
dimensions of the structure.

When buying, environmental friendliness of materials is important. It is better to choose natural wood, fabrics, leather, metal. There should be good strong springs at the base, and a tree is suitable as a frame. If the living room is combined with the kitchen, it is more practical to choose upholstered furniture with removable covers..

If you choose a shape, you can stop at the classic L-shaped design. Oval models or a U-shape look unusual, however, they also require more space. If the living room is small, such designs should not be chosen..

How to determine the size

The corner sofa in the living room interior should be selected not only taking into account the configuration and materials, its dimensions also play an important role. This is the area of the seat itself, the dimensions of the back and handrails, the length of each part, the depth of the seats. Standards from different manufacturers may differ, there is no single dimensional grid. By and large, all sofas are divided into two size groups: large and small.

Large models are suitable for spacious living rooms or studio apartments. If a large family lives in the house or there are frequent guests, this is the most suitable option for the hall. Small furniture should be selected in small rooms, often the living room area in this case is combined with the bedroom. Sometimes small sofas are placed in the kitchen in the dining area..

Small living room

The living room interior with a corner sofa looks stylish, even if the room is very small. For small apartments, small-sized models are produced separately, which, in terms of convenience and functionality, are in no way inferior to larger sofas. In addition to the hall, sofas can be used in the kitchen, and thanks to the presence of a folding or sliding mechanism, they easily turn into a sleeping place.

There are designs already equipped with a compact coffee or coffee table. The more functions a sofa has, the more space you can save. Models with open shelves are convenient, where you can put books, vases, house plants, souvenirs, framed photos, etc. And a sofa with a built-in bar will definitely impress guests.

Accordion

Another popular mechanism, the sleeping surface is flat and has no height differences. The strength and reliability of the system allows you to use such a sofa every day..

Cot

The system is easy to lay out, but the mechanism is not very strong, so such a berth is not suitable for frequent use. But to accommodate visiting relatives or friends who stayed late until nightfall, a clamshell is quite suitable.

Puma

A reliable, durable system, while during unfolding, not a single part of the structure moves along the floor, which eliminates damage to the floor covering. The legs are in place only after a full layout.

There are also models of corner furniture without a folding mechanism. Usually these are large sofas, consisting of several modules, which can be used as sleeping places without any problems..

Unusual shapes

Standard L-shaped models are convenient, but sometimes you want to diversify the design of the room with something unusual, giving the living room a unique style. In the line of almost every manufacturer, there will definitely be non-standard models that will appeal to the most sophisticated connoisseurs of unusual design..

A semicircle instead of a corner looks simple, but this solution is unusual in itself. These sofas have a slight inconvenience, they are more difficult to put in a corner, but a bay window or the center of the room will do just fine. Radial furniture is convenient not only for its spaciousness, due to the absence of protruding parts, it seems more compact, and also allows you to avoid accidental injuries.

For a large recreation area where the whole family gathers or gatherings with a large number of people are arranged, you can choose a corner sofa with an armchair. In this case, the chair can be used separately, which allows you to transform the soft corner at your discretion. Moreover, both the chair and the main part can be folded out to the berth.

Modular corner sofas give room for imagination. Independent sections can be arranged as you like, arranged separately as chairs or poufs, combined together, designed a comfortable sleeping place, removed or added backrests. Modular furniture is convenient for its mobility, it is multifunctional and allows you to use the available space to the maximum advantage. If necessary, modules can be purchased gradually, since they are produced in a whole series.

Color spectrum

The choice of upholstery colors depends on the design of the room. The upholstery can stand out against the neutral background of the walls, in which case the sofa becomes a color accent. Bright colors will enliven the interior, but do not use saturated colors if they are already present as the main background..

If the walls are decorated or painted in a bright color, the sofa, on the contrary, should be neutral in color (white, beige, coffee, gray). Light upholstery visually makes the structure lighter, but this is not the best option for living rooms combined with a kitchen, all spots will be immediately visible on the surface.
