How to Style Your Corner Sofa

9 min reading time

A corner sofa is a versatile piece of furniture that can redefine your living room. Whether you have a left-hand corner sofa, a massive 10-seater corner sofa, or a cosy 4-seater L-shaped sofa, styling it correctly can transform your room into a comfortable and inviting area. Let's explore some creative ways to style your corner sofa and make the most of your space.

Choosing the Right Corner Sofa

Before diving into styling tips, it's crucial to select the proper corner sofa for your space. Consider the following factors:

Size and Configuration

Depending on the size of your room, you might opt for a small corner sofa for small spaces or an extra large corner sofa, like an 8-seater or 10-seater model, for a more spacious setting. The configuration---be it a left-hand or right-hand corner sofa---should complement the layout of your room and ensure easy movement around the furniture.

Material and Colour

The choice of material can significantly affect the look and feel of your sofa. Suede corner sofas offer a plush, luxurious feel, while fabric corner settees can provide a variety of textures and patterns. When choosing a colour, consider the existing colour scheme of your room to ensure harmony.

Functionality

If you need extra seating or versatility, consider a corner sofa with a table or a corner sofa and footstool. These additions can enhance the functionality of your space, providing extra seating or a convenient place to rest drinks and books.

Styling Your Corner Sofa

Once you have the perfect corner sofa, styling it becomes an exciting endeavour. Here are some tips to help you make your sofa the centrepiece of your living room.

Cushions and Throws

Adding cushions and throws is one of the easiest ways to style your corner sofa.

Choose colours and patterns that contrast with your sofa for a pop of colour or blend for a more cohesive look. For a modern corner sofa, metallic or geometric-patterned cushions can add a contemporary touch. Throws can be draped over the back or arm of the sofa for a relaxed vibe.

Rugs and Flooring

The area around your sofa can be enhanced with a stylish rug. This is especially important if you have an L shape sofa recliner or a large L shaped sofa, as a rug can help define the seating area. Choose a rug that complements the sofa's colour and style, ensuring it is large enough to anchor the space.

Lighting

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood of your room. Floor lamps or table lamps placed near the corner sofa can provide ambient lighting, perfect for reading or relaxing. If your sofa is near a window, consider sheer curtains to allow natural light to filter through, enhancing the room's brightness.

Coffee Tables and Side Tables

For a complete look, incorporate a coffee table or side tables. A corner sofa with a table not only adds functionality but also serves as a focal point. Choose tables that match or complement the style of your sofa. Glass or metal tables can add a modern touch, whilst wooden tables offer warmth and a classic feel.

Wall Art and Decor

The wall behind your corner sofa is a prime spot for art and decor. Consider hanging a large piece of artwork or a collection of smaller pieces to create a gallery wall. Mirrors can also be a stylish addition, making the room feel larger and more open. Ensure the art or decor complements the sofa and the overall theme of your room.

Maximising Space with Corner Sofas

Corner sofas are excellent for maximising space, particularly in smaller rooms.

Here's how you can make the most of your space:

Open-Plan Living

In open-plan living areas, a corner settee can act as a divider, distinguishing the living space from dining or kitchen areas. This is particularly effective with an extra-large corner settee 8 seater or more, as it naturally segments the space without the need for additional furniture.

Multi-Functional Spaces

If your room serves multiple purposes, like a living room/office, a 7 seater corner settee can provide ample seating without overcrowding the space. Pair it with a versatile piece like a chaise corner settee, which can double as a lounge area or a reading nook.

Small Spaces

For small spaces, a small corner settee for small spaces or a 5 seater corner settee can provide plenty of seating without overwhelming the room. Opt for lighter colours or streamlined designs to keep the area feeling open and airy.
