Furniture trends don’t change as often as handbags, lipstick colors, or heel heights. Sometimes it is enough to change the color of the upholstery of the sofa, the height of the legs or decorate it with original pillows to make it look current.
However, the most frequent question after “How to buy a corner sofa ?” is “How to properly put it in the room?”
Standard arrangement is not always effective
As a rule, a corner sofa is placed along the walls, which is understandable – large-sized upholstered furniture takes up a lot of space in the interior, and in order not to create obstacles when moving around the room, corner models are shifted close to the walls.
Recently, however, in modern interiors, the standard placement of corner structures is gradually being replaced by other compositional solutions. And it directly depends on the purposes which the furniture carries out.
Deciding on a task
Typically, a corner sofa in the interior performs the following functions:
- Room zoning. For example, with its help, you can divide a spacious room into a living room and a kitchen or an office, or a children’s play area. In this case, the front side of the sofa is directed to the living room, and one of the sides is leaning against the wall.
- Giving symmetry. Often, designers use corner structures to achieve symmetry in the interior. As a rule, this role is played by the U-shaped model.
- Visual adjustment of space in long narrow rooms. It is important to place the corner sofa here so that only its short part is along the wall, but in no case is it long. Otherwise, it will only visually lengthen the room even more.
Recently, large-sized upholstered furniture is increasingly placed in the center of the room. Therefore, when buying upholstered furniture, it will not be superfluous to make sure that its back is as attractive as the front.
Of course, to mask the shortcomings of the back, you can use various sofa furniture, including shelving or cabinets. However, the best solution would be to initially buy a product that is visually attractive from all sides. Delavega factory specialists have already taken care of this for you.
How to put a corner sofa in a new room?
If you have just made repairs and your room is not yet cluttered with furniture, then it is best to immediately outline where and what will be located. The fact is that a high-quality corner sofa made of natural wood is a rather heavy product, and it will be very problematic to move it in the future. In addition, each movement can cause damage to the flooring.
To prevent this from happening, experts recommend installing a corner sofa first, and then building a furniture ensemble around it. Pre-planning the arrangement of furniture in the room will help a lot with this.
Here are some tips for arranging furniture in the living room:
- Start by drawing up a furniture layout plan. On the plan, indicate the location of all planned furniture, as well as windows and doors, radiators, sockets and switches. Pay special attention to the distance from the open door.
- Put the corner sofa in its designated place.
- Arrange the furniture around it, taking into account the laws of composition.
- Add air to your interior, do not get carried away with tall furniture.
Basic layout options in the living room
The classic location is against the wall. It is considered universal, as it is suitable for both large and small rooms. It is convenient if you put a corner sofa in such a way that people sitting on it see those who enter the room. However, putting furniture directly in front of the door is not worth it – it’s quite uncomfortable.
And if placed near a window, it can limit access to the window if ventilation is needed.
According to experts, the best location would be in the corner. The design of the corner sofa allows it to harmoniously fit into such a space and make it cozy. Even in small rooms, such placement will be appropriate.
The arrangement of sofas in the center of the room serves, first of all, the purpose of zoning the room. It is very important to make sure that the back of the furniture is as attractive as the front.
Feng Shui corner sofa
According to Feng Shui, upholstered furniture should be located in the eastern part of the room, in the so-called “Family Zone”.
Products should be in restrained colors, preferably with shades of gold, brown or green. Feng Shui does not recommend a leather corner sofa, as it is considered “indifferent” and “cold”. It should have rounded corners and small legs, symbolizing stability and harmony.
It is recommended to put a soft corner according to Feng Shui to a wall on which there is no window, but not close, but with a small gap with the wall. In this way, you will be able to achieve confidence and calmness.
Small corner sofa for dining room
Small sofas are not standard because their production is labor intensive and the market price is low.
Therefore, buyers who want to install such furniture in the kitchen or dining room usually order from craftsmen who work with individual clients.
Such products often consist of two parts of the same length. Models have high legs, a hard seat, narrow armrests and a low straight back.
Corner designs look good next to a dining table, but pay attention to the quality of the upholstery. Opt for materials that are easy to clean.
It can be artificial leather or scotchguard with oil and water repellent impregnation.
Such models are also purchased for reception areas, waiting areas in medical institutions and for small shops.
