What is a corner sofa and what are the benefits of owning one?

A corner sofa has a curved back and seats placed on either corner. It works well for those who want to furnish a cosy area because it may fit in compact spaces where other sofas wouldn't.

You can use corner sofas like Helmut Sofa by Longhi in living rooms. Their innovative and chic design allows them to be a part of offices and bedroom sets.

Here are some of its benefits:

• Furniture designers design corner sofas to serve as the focal point of any room. They can be the perfect place to relax after a long day at work or enjoy a movie with friends.
• These sofas can be used as extra seating when needed. Especially if you live with roommates or have a big family.
• Additionally, they come in many different styles, colours, and fabrics. You can choose from traditional or contemporary designs, depending on what you want.

Corner sofas are available in leather or fabric upholstery options. Your living area looks elegant if you choose the leather option. The fabric option adds more comfort to your seating arrangement. Check out the Denny Sofa by Gamma & Dandy for the fabric style.

Will a corner sofa fit in your living room?

If you're wondering how to know if a corner sofa will fit in your living room, don't fret! We've got you covered.

First, measure the width and depth of your room. Then use those measurements to figure out the space left for furniture after accounting for doorways, windows and other obstructions.

Next, measure the dimensions of your sofa of choice. Compare these measurements with those from the first step to ensure they fit together nicely.

Finally, consider any other furniture sharing space with your new sofa—for example, if you already have a coffee table or side table in one corner of the room.

Can you change the side of a corner sofa?

You can change the side of a corner sofa if it doesn't fit correctly in your living room. This is something that's commonly practised. Moreover, you can also order custom-built sofas.

We at FCI have over 40 years of experience in designing corner sofas. Our team at FCI can customise your new corner sofas and ensure they fit perfectly in your living room.

Are there other ways to fit a corner sofa in your living room?

If you have a corner sofa that doesn't quite fit correctly in your living room, Here are a few modifications you can do to improve the fitting.

1. Accessories

Consider using furniture placement and accessories to help disguise that the sofa doesn't fit into the space. For example, you could hang artwork on the wall behind the sofa (make sure it's not too heavy!) or put a pair of decorative curtains on either side. It will contribute to the impression that everything fits together flawlessly.

2. Small Furniture

You might also consider purchasing compact furniture for other parts of your living room—this will help balance out any visual discrepancies caused by having a larger piece of furniture in one corner.

Pros and cons of changing the side of a corner sofa?

Changing the side of a corner sofa is a great way to make your living room look different, but it's not always the best option. Here are some pros and cons of changing the side of a corner sofa and which option is best for you:

Pros:

• Changing the side of a corner sofa can create a more dynamic space in your living room.
• It's an easy way to experiment with different looks without spending too much time or money on decorating.

Cons:

• Changing the side of a corner sofa can be expensive because you may need to buy new furniture or reupholster existing furniture if you want to change the shape of your couch or chair.

Some of our L-shaped sofas come standard in the left or right hand. If you've decided on a specific orientation, ensure you select it during checkout. Consider adding extras like an ottoman to balance the arrangement so it balances and matches your ideal layout.
