What is a corner sectional sofa?
A corner sectional sofa is a type of seating arrangement designed to fit snugly into the corner of a room, making efficient use of space while providing ample seating.
It’s typically made up of multiple connected sections, including a corner piece that forms a 90-degree angle, allowing it to wrap around two adjacent walls.
Are there any dimension restrictions for corner sectional sofas?
From an aesthetic perspective, a corner sofa typically takes up about 240cm to 300 cm in width on each side and around 90cm to 100cm in depth.
This means you’ll need a space of roughly 240cm x 240cm minimum to comfortably accommodate it.
How many people can sit on your corner sectional sofa?
The seating capacity of our corner sectional sofas varies based on their size and configuration:
- Compact Corner Sectionals: Typically, smaller corner sectionals (around 240 x 240 cm) can comfortably seat 3 to 4 people. These are ideal for small to medium-sized rooms.
- Standard Corner Sectionals: Standard-sized corner sectionals (around 300 x 300 cm or more) usually seat 5 to 6 people, providing ample seating for families or small gatherings.
- Large Corner Sectionals: For larger models or custom configurations, which often measure 350 cm or more on each side, you can expect seating for 7 or more people, making them perfect for bigger living rooms or entertaining larger groups.
Ultimately, the seating capacity depends on the sofa’s layout and the type of modules it includes, such as chaises or additional middle units. Our modular designs let you adjust the configuration to fit your seating needs.
What is the difference between a corner sectional sofa and a L shape sectional sofa?
Though often used interchangeably, corner sectional sofas and L shape sectional sofas have slight differences in design and layout.
1 - Shape and Design:
- Corner Sectional Sofa: This sofa typically forms a right-angle shape, wrapping around the corner of a room. It often includes a distinct corner module that joins two seating sections, creating a true “corner” that sits at a 90-degree angle.
- L-Shape Sectional Sofa: An L-shape sectional typically has two straight sections forming an “L” without a specific corner piece. This shape is often created by joining a sofa and a chaise, giving it a more streamlined look.
2 - Configuration:
- Corner Sectional Sofa: Commonly used to create a more enclosed, cozy space, as it fits directly into a corner with seats on either side of the angle, allowing it to feel like a defined seating nook.
- L Shape Sectional Sofa: Works well in both corners and open spaces. Its design is more flexible for smaller rooms, where a full corner piece might take up too much space.
In summary, a corner sectional sofa is best for maximizing seating in a larger, dedicated corner space, while an L shape sectional sofa offers a versatile, space-efficient option for smaller rooms or flexible layouts.

How to choose what fabric to use?
Choosing the right fabric for your sofa depends on various considerations:
- Texture considerations: boucle fabrics offers a distinctive textured surface whilst suede is soft to touch and provides a plush feel
- Washability: polyester blended fabrics or cotton blended fabrics are most ideal as they are typically machine washable
- Families with pets: Opt for scratch-resistant pet-friendly fabrics to withstand wear and tear from pets
- Ease of maintenance: Most fabric types we offer with the exception of suede fabric, can be treated for water resistance
What makes pet friendly fabric scratch resistant?
Pet-friendly fabric is designed with a tight weave, which enhances its durability against scratches and snags.
The effectiveness of scratch resistance is verified through snagging resistance tests conducted by testing agencies like SGS.
What is stain and water resistance treatment for fabrics?
Stain and water resistance treatment involves applying a coating that makes the fabric hydrophobic and oleophobic.
The treatment prevents water and oil substances from wetting the fabric, causing spills to bead up on the surface. This provides you with extra time to clear spills and prevent fabric staining.
However, the effectiveness of this treatment wears off over time and needs to be reapplied periodically to maintain optimal performance.
What is easy clean fabric?
Easy clean fabric is coated with nanoparticles that prevent dirt penetration.
This means dirt and stains remain on the surface and can be washed away with just water.
For non-water-soluble stains, such as grease, the application of soap together with water is required for effective cleaning.
What is the benefit of choosing brown sofa?
Brown sofas bring warmth and a sense of comfort to any room. The colour brown is often associated with stability, reliability, and earthy tones that create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere.
Depending on the shade, brown can evoke a rustic charm or a refined elegance, making it a versatile choice that complements various interior styles.
What design styles work well with brown?
Brown sofas are highly versatile and can fit seamlessly into a range of design styles, including:
- Rustic: Brown enhances the natural, earthy feel of rustic spaces, particularly when paired with wooden furniture.
- Traditional: Rich shades of brown are perfect for creating a classic, timeless look in more traditional interiors.
- Modern: Darker brown sofas can act as a grounding focal point in modern interiors, particularly when combined with sleek lines and contemporary accents.
- Eclectic: Brown can work with a mix of patterns and textures, adding warmth to an eclectic setting.
What cushions work well with brown sofas?
Cushions in warm neutrals such as cream, beige, or soft grey complement brown sofas beautifully.
For more vibrant options, burnt orange, mustard yellow, or deep green can add depth and warmth.
Gold or bronze accents can elevate the look, while darker shades of brown or burgundy offer a harmonious, earthy palette.
What rugs work well with brown sofas?
Neutral rugs in cream, beige, or light grey can balance the richness of a brown sofa.
For added texture, a patterned rug with brown elements or geometric designs can enhance the overall aesthetic.
Plush, shaggy rugs in complementary tones can create a cosy atmosphere, while natural fibre rugs, such as jute or sisal, can further emphasise a rustic vibe.
What wall colour work well with brown sofas?
Neutral walls in shades of soft white, cream, or light grey allow a brown sofa to stand out without overpowering the room.
For a more dramatic look, deeper tones like olive green, rich burgundy, or charcoal grey create a striking contrast.
Warm beige or taupe walls can also provide a harmonious, earthy backdrop.
