Corner sofa in the interior of a small living room with a photo

We are trying to create an atmosphere of comfort and coziness in our home, and the living room is the center of any home, where the whole family spends joint evenings, holidays, and guests are received. That is why it is necessary that every detail of the hall (as the people call the living room) is distinguished not only by its beauty, but also by its quality.

A significant element of this room is undoubtedly the sofa. There are many of its shapes and configurations, but one of the most popular is angular. More details about the corner sofa in the interior of a small living room with various photos in this article.

Benefits of a corner sofa

Compactness. Obviously, such furniture can be easily positioned in the corner of the room. A significant advantage for small apartments will be that it frees up a significant part of the room and accommodates more guests than straightforward counterparts.

Uniqueness. Usually, L-shaped models are made, but now the U-shaped design, samples with rounded components, are becoming more and more popular. The interior of the room, where such an element will be used, will be distinguished by creativity and originality.

Multitasking. Almost all models have a folding mechanism. This property is relevant for one-room and two-room apartments, because in the evening the living room can turn into a bedroom, and a fashionable corner sofa into a comfortable double bed.

Configuration features

"Eurobook"- one of the most common, proven and simple models. The main advantage is a spacious sleeping place. A similar system was used in Soviet "clamshells", but modern models have protective mechanisms at the point of contact with the wall.

Another version of the modernized clamshell - the "click-gag" system allows you to adjust the degree of inclination of the back - 90 degrees for communication, 45 - for relaxation.

Important! All "folding beds" have a significant drawback: in order to expand this sofa, you need to move it away from the wall each time. It is very uncomfortable.

Therefore, it is worth exploring other configurations.

"Accordion" easy to transform and compact. This type of sofa has earned its name because of the mechanism that works like an accordion. To transform, you need to slightly raise the seat and pull it towards you - the berth will move out on its own.

pros:

  • Comfortable sleeping surface.
  • The presence of a box for linen.

disadvantages:

  • when unfolded it has impressive dimensions.

Configuration "Dolphin" often choose the children's room. An additional section extends from under the main seat and is adjusted to the same level with it using a special loop. When folded, the lower section acts as a linen drawer.

How to choose a corner sofa in a small living room?

If you want the corner sofa to fit harmoniously into the interior of a small living room, as in the photo, then several factors must be taken into account:

Colour

It will be an ideal option if you decide on the color scheme of the sofa during the planning of the room and, depending on it, select the range of the living room. If the repair has already been completed, think in advance what exactly you want to see as a result. Don't expect to find your way around the store. Carelessly bought furniture can destroy the whole harmony of the room.

Advice! If we move away from plain fabric, then colored upholstery will become a unique decoration of the room, soften the interior, bring notes of warmth and comfort to it.

Upholstery and fillings

Our sense of convenience and comfort depends precisely on how well the basis of the furniture is chosen. It is necessary to consider not only personal preferences, but also the properties of the materials.

  • Chenille . The fabric is typical for the upholstery of luxury furniture. Differs in strength and softness. Non-marking: with the help of alcohol products, it is possible to remove any stains. An expensive material, but it fully pays for its price.
  • Cotton. Ideal if the family has a small child, because it is made from natural ingredients. But not durable enough for use in the living room.
  • Velours. Soft, non-marking material. However, it wipes off over time.
  • Jacquard. Long-lasting, drawing retains a fresh look for a long time. It is cleaned exclusively in a dry way.
  • Leather. One of the most prestigious upholstery variations. Pay attention to the quality, otherwise, over time, cracks and wiping of paint cannot be avoided. Expensive material.
  • Arpatek can be used in the form of leatherette. It stands out for its strength, softness, ease of care and color fastness. The price is much lower than that of eco-material.
  • Various variations common flock and macrofiber.

Attention! It is important to choose the right filling. You should not buy furniture made of foam rubber or latex. You will save a certain amount, but the effect on the strength of the furniture can be negative: wear resistance decreases and subsidence appears already in the first half of the year.

Corner sofa in a small living room

When equipping small apartments, most make the same mistakes:

  1. they are trying to fit a lot of luxurious, massive furniture into a small area;
  2. trying to adapt to the size of the room, they acquire furniture that stands out from the general style of the living room;

Adhering to the following rules, you will be able to choose the most correct arrangement of furniture in the room:

Minimalism. Do not purchase furniture with reclining backs and other attributes that do not carry a functional load, but require additional space.

Classic. You should not choose rounded models. In the corner of the room, it will not produce the desired effect, and in the central part there is simply no place for it.

Modern. If your style is not conservative, then a low back will visually stretch the room and increase the height of the ceilings. Models with a chaise longue or pouf give the same effect. They have no back at all, which makes the design more compact.

Practicality. In the CIS countries, they rarely have something by the window. However, this is a very logical technique: you cannot put large pieces of furniture near the window opening, and the low back of the sofa will not prevent sunlight from entering the living room.

There are many opinions on how to increase your free space. According to one of them, a corner sofa can be replaced with a straight-line analogue with a pair of armchairs. In practice, this technique does not work in rooms with an initially small area. Chairs and a rectilinear sofa can take up less space than a corner sofa, but they will look much more massive.

The presented photos show examples of the successful use of a corner sofa in the interior of a small living room.
