What should you consider when buying a corner sofa?

Which colour corner sofa suits me best?

Choosing a colour for a new corner sofa isn’t just a flick of the wrist. Grey corner sofas, green corner sofas, cognac corner sofas and so on. They all remain incredibly popular, but are they the right choice for you? When determining the colour of your new acquisition, it’s smart to take a number of factors into account.

For example, it’s smart to not only focus on the corner sofa, but also to consider the living room as a whole. What about the colours of your other furniture and accessories in this room? Naturally, the new colour should be a match, as to not disturb the balance.

We also advise you to take the lighting into account. Do you have windows on three sides and does sunlight have free rein? Then a corner sofa that tends to black can suddenly appear a lot lighter. It also works the other way around, of course. A light grey corner sofa looks much darker in a living room where the sun barely has any reach. 

What is the best material for my corner sofa?

To answer that question, it might be smart to take a look at the different living styles. Does your heart lie with the industrial or are you more about that cosy rural style? We've rounded up the six most popular styles to inspire you!

What is the best size for me?

Choosing the size of your new corner sofa is not something you can do in a few minutes. There are a number of factors you should consider to achieve the best results. We’re happy to help you along! Are you planning to replace a worn-out sofa? Then you’ve already got a good indication of what the best size may be. In a new house, this can be a bit more difficult. For example, start with a tape measure and 'draw' your ideal sofa on the floor with tape. This will give you a good idea of ​​the correct sizes.

In addition, it’s smart to map out how many people should usually be able to sit on the corner sofa. You can easily fit five people on a compact corner sofa, but this number quickly increases with the somewhat larger corner sofas and U-shaped sofas. Also consider any other seating furniture. Is your corner sofa the only piece of furniture, or do you also have two recliners, for example? This can be important when determining the sizes. Good to know: our pictured sofas merely give an indication of the possibilities, but they really only show the tip of the iceberg. All our corner sofas are available in different sizes, materials, and fabrics.

Which corner sofas are child and animal friendly?

If you have young children and/or animals, a stain or two won’t be strange to you. That means it’s smart to choose a material known as child friendly. These are usually the child-friendly types of leather and fabrics that can take a beating and are easy to maintain. Proper maintenance is very important if you want to keep your corner sofa in top condition. We have maintenance products available for each specific material.
