A corner sofa is one of the most impactful purchases you can make for your living room. Done right, it anchors the space, maximises seating, and creates a genuinely inviting atmosphere.
Why Choose a Corner Sofa?
Corner sofas offer more seating than a traditional three-seater and make excellent use of corner space. Browse our full corner sofa collection to find your ideal configuration.
Left Hand vs Right Hand: What Does It Mean?
Left Hand Facing (LHF): When standing looking at the sofa, the chaise is on the left.
Right Hand Facing (RHF): The chaise is on the right.
Common Configurations
L-Shape: The classic configuration. One long section and one shorter section meeting at a right angle.
U-Shape: Maximum seating — ideal for large rooms and families.
Chaise Sofa: More compact but offers a similar feel to a full corner sofa.
How to Measure Your Room
1. Measure room dimensions. 2. Check doorway and hallway widths for delivery. 3. Allow at least 90cm of walkway around the sofa. 4. Consider TV distance — ideally 1.5–2.5x the screen size.
Use masking tape on the floor to mark out the sofa's footprint before ordering.
