Understanding corner sofas

A corner sofa, also known as a sectional sofa, is a versatile seating solution designed to fit snugly into corners, maximizing space utilization in a room. Its primary purpose is to provide ample seating for multiple people while optimizing comfort and functionality within a given space.

Advantages over traditional sofas

  1. Space efficiency - Corner sofas are known and loved for their maximum utilisation of space. Fitting nicely into most corners, these sofas are perfect for smaller homes or apartments. Corners sofas offer more seats for less space, perfect for those who have larger households, frequent guests - or those who just like to sprawl and relax!

  2. Versatility - Whilst corners and modular sofas are great for fitting into small spaces and making the most of them, they're also great for dividing larger spaces and have no problem becoming the focal point of your living room.

  3. Comfort - Corners provide way more space than a regualr sofa, giving you ample opportunity to stretch out and relax. They also provide more seating, so you lounge around with friends or family without sitting on each others knee!
