Tips for decorating your corner sofa

Cushions

A bare corner sofa is just that, bare. Often, a large corner sofa offers you the option of placing cushions, and with these cushions you can actually kill two birds with one stone. First of all, you increase your seating comfort. A pillow in your back or under your head when you lie down will certainly come in handy during an evening of watching football or Netflix!

In addition, you have a creative opportunity to experiment with patterns, but especially with colours. A corner sofa is probably the largest piece of furniture in your living room, which means its colour is often dominant. With these cushions, you have the chance to build a bridge to other furniture, or to add some variation to the whole. Have fun and choose matching colours to create the perfect picture!

When it comes to the number of cushions, there are two main factors: the number of seats and the size of the cushions. Normally, about four cushions will be plenty for three seats. Do you have a large corner sofa with six seats? Then seven or eight pillows will certainly suffice.

Corner sofa placement

Perhaps your corner sofa has been in the same place for years on end, or maybe you're doubting where to place it in your new home. Nevertheless, it's always a good idea to go through the options again. Who knows, you might discover a setup that allows you to get even more out of your space! Tip: is a corner sofa just not your thing? Then check our other sofas.

But what should you pay attention to when placing your corner sofa? The beauty of this question is that there is no one-size-fits-all answer. For example, in a relatively small space, it seems sensible to actually place the sofa in the corner to save space. But of course there are also creative solutions where 1 part of the sofa protrudes into the room, so to speak. Do you have a large living room? Then you even have the option to leave the sofa detached, so you can walk around it. In short, there are many different options. When placing the sofa, try to consider how your windows are positioned, as well as your TV and the walking lines. Tip: you don't have to put the sofa in the perfect spot right away. Still don't like the placement after a few weeks? Then just choose something else!

Rug

The rug shares something with a cushion: opportunity in colour! With a rug, you can set new accents in your living room or let certain shades come back. In terms of shape, we often see that people opt for a rectangular rug, where one of the corners ends up in the corner of the corner sofa.

Still, it's certainly an option to go for a round rug. The corner sofa and the contours of your living room often bring many straight lines into play, which means a round rug can be the way to break that without disturbing the rest. Tip: you can break the straight lines in several other ways as well, consider, for example, a round coffee table.

You can also go in many directions in terms of size. You can opt for a large rug that covers the full width of the sides of the corner sofa, or you can go for a relatively small rug under your coffee table. Always keep a close eye on the sizes. It would be a shame if you fell just 15 centimeters short if you assume that your rug is just as long as your corner sofa.

Extra tips for buying a corner sofa

Maybe you don't have your corner sofa at home yet and you're unsure about the specifications of your new eyecatcher. It's good to know that here at Table du Sud we have different corner sofas in store for you that fit into different living styles, such as industrial, rural, and Scandinavian.

It's impossible to be 100% sure that the corner sofa you choose will suit you perfectly, but there are a number of factors you can take into account. Consider, for example, the minimum number of people you want to be able to seat. This is a good starting point and will bring you closer to your ideal size.

We have an incredible amount of choice when it comes to materials. We have collected some popular fabrics for you on our materials chart. This chart can help you find the right fabric. Finally, it's smart to also think about the colour in advance. Make sure the colour matches the rest of your interior well and also think about the lighting. In a living room where sunlight has free rein, a relatively dark colour can suddenly appear a lot lighter.
