Our Guide To Choosing The Best Corner Sofa

Are you looking to buy a corner sofa but don’t know where to start? With so many options available, such as leather or fabric finishes and differing shapes, choosing the right one for your home can be overwhelming. In this blog post, we guide you through choosing the best corner sofa to suit your style and home.

Corner sofas are a great way of providing more seating in a small space. Plus, sofas like our l-shaped sofas can be more comfortable than traditional sofas, as they often have deeper seats and more cushioning.

Make The Most Of Your Space

A corner sofa can be a stylish and practical way to make the most of your space, as it can fit around tricky nooks and crannies. It can also help define seating areas in multi-functional open-plan rooms and make a large room feel cosy.

When choosing a corner sofa for your space, it’s essential to consider the size of your room and the style of your couch. For example, those with an open-plan living room or a vast interior may want to place their corner sofa in the middle of the room to break up the space. 


But if you’ve got a small living room, you might want to place it to the side, against a wall. You can use it to create a cosy corner by adding a coffee table, rug or footstool. Another option could be to stretch a corner sofa across a bay window, making a beautiful focal point as you walk into a room.

How To Measure A Corner Sofa

To measure a corner sofa, you first need to measure the space where you want to put it. This will give you an idea of the maximum size the corner sofa can be. Make sure to measure the space's width, length, and height, and note these measurements.

Next, measure the length of the corner sofa from one side to the other to find the longest part. Next, just below the sofa armrest, measure the cushion depth. Finally, measure the outside edge and depth, starting at the front and outer edge of one sofa arm, continuing to the back corner and around the sofa's backrest.

At Love Your Home, we can create a made-to-measure corner sofa in certain styles. If you are interested in a bespoke corner sofa, let us know, as we’d be happy to help.

Left or Right-Hand Corner Sofa - How To Choose

When choosing a corner sofa, it’s essential to consider the orientation of the sofa. Our website shows which styles are available in left or right corner sofa configurations or orientations.

Do I Need a Left or Right Corner Sofa

The orientation of a corner sofa refers to which side the longer section is on when you’re facing it. If you’re looking for a left-arm corner sofa, the longer section will be on your left when you’re facing it. The longer section will be on your right if you want a right-arm corner sofa.

Symmetrical Corner Sofas

What is a Symmetrical Corner Sofa

A symmetrical corner sofa has a symmetrical design with equal length on both sides of the corner. It is an excellent choice for those who want to maximise a living room's seating space.

Symmetrical corner sofas can be arranged in various ways to complement a space. For example, you can place them in the corner of your living room or use them to divide up a large area.
