Corner Sofas and Chaise Sofas

Nothing welcomes you home and says “come on, lie down and put your feet up” like a corner sofa. And if it’s a power reclining corner sofa, you can look forward to the next few hours being the most relaxing time of your week. And by making the most of that corner space, L-shaped sofas ensure that there’s extra room for everyone: grown-ups, kids and of course pets too. But in addition to supreme comfort, another benefit of an L-shape sofa is the way it subtly divides an open-plan lounge dining room, without cutting the room in two. If you have friends around, a corner sofa is the perfect shape for socialising, as it’s so conducive for conversation. And with a chaise sofa or a modular corner sofa you also have the flexibility to re-configure your seating arrangement depending on the occasion. Keep the different sections together for a cosy night together watching TV or if you have lot of guests, you can change the look and feel of your living room by separating them and positioning the chaise elsewhere in the room. Whatever the size and shape of your living area, Furniture Village has the perfect corner sofa for you including grey corner sofas, leather corner sofas and fabric corner sofas.

Choosing the right corner sofa

Corner sofas are real space savers, so if you think they only work in big rooms, think again. It’s all about the shape and configuration of your living room, so take some measurements and then take a look at our super helpful sofa sizer. This clever little tool will quickly narrow down the choice of corner sofas to the ones that will fit your living room. In a larger open-plan space, L-shaped sofas are a great way to separate the two main functions of the room: lounging and dining. And if you choose a modular corner sofa or a chaise sofa, you’ll have even more flexibility to move the room around for a party or other social occasion. If your focus is on comfort and support, then you might like to consider one of our sumptuous reclining corner sofas. All it takes is a simple push of the button to adjust them to the perfect position for you. A word of warning though: they’re so comfortable you’ll frequently find yourself fast asleep in them!

Choosing the right material for your L-shaped sofa

You have two main choices when it comes to corner sofa material: leather or fabric. A leather corner sofa has the benefits of being strong, durable, and easy to clean, which is perfect for a growing family or if your L-shape sofa is going to be enjoyed in busy house. Corner sofas always look both elegant and modern but when you choose the right fabric and colour, you can add cosy and snuggly to the reasons why you love your new L-shape sofa. At Furniture Village we have a stunning range of corner sofa fabrics, from the opulent feel of a chenille or velvet corner sofa to wool and woven fabrics. You can read more about each of these fabrics in our upholstered furniture buying guide.

The finishing touches

We love the comfort and flexibility of corner sofas, especially our modular L-shaped sofas, but to maximise both of these features we recommend that you get a footstool to go with it. On a day-to-day basis it means that can everyone put their feet up and then, when it’s party time at your house, you’ll have an extra place to perch. Some of our footstools have storage space too – which can be very useful if you need a place to store toys, iPads or the remote controls. Your new corner sofa is going to completely transform your living room but let’s be honest, the rest of the room is probably going to be playing catch up. There are three main areas that will almost certainly need your attention. The first is floor lamps. A new funky floor lamp will bring balance to a room that could otherwise be dominated by the size and scale of your new L-shape sofa. The next thing to take a look at is your walls, where the addition of a new mirror will bring additional light and space to your living room. Some new wall art or a clock will draw your eye up and away from your new corner sofa before one of our stylish rugs will return your gaze to the middle of the room. Depending on the space and configuration of the room, you might also want to consider a new armchair or two. And there’s no shortage of fabulous options at Furniture Village.

Every one of our corner sofas comes with a 20-year structural guarantee, so not only do you get a beautifully designed and incredibly comfortable L-shape sofa but it comes with free peace of mind too.
