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.
What is boucle fabric?
Boucle fabric is a type of textured material made from looped yarns, giving it a distinctive, soft, and nubby appearance. Its natural softness and tactile appeal make it ideal for creating cozy, inviting spaces.
Boucle has become popular in modern interior design, especially for upholstered furniture like sofas and armchairs. It is highly durabile, making it suitable for both decorative and functional pieces.
What sofa styles does boucle fabric work well with?
Boucle fabric complements several sofa styles beautifully, each showcasing its texture in unique ways:
- Curved Sofas: Boucle’s soft, looped texture enhances the cosy, inviting look of curved sofas. This design nods to 1940s mid-century furniture, like Eero Saarinen’s iconic “womb” chair, creating a warm and comfortable ambiance.
- Boxy Sofas: For a modern twist, boucle pairs well with boxy or straight-edged sofas. The fabric’s plush texture contrasts with the clean lines, adding visual depth and a contemporary feel to the space.
- Low-profile Sofas: Boucle fabric works well with low-profile sofas, lending a grounded yet luxurious vibe that aligns with minimalist and modern aesthetics.
Boucle fabric's tactile appeal and visual warmth make it a popular choice for sofa styles that aim to create a cosy, modern living space.
How to clean boucle fabric?
Cleaning boucle fabric is straightforward but requires gentle care to maintain its textured look and soft feel:
- Regular Vacuuming: Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris from boucle fabric. This prevents dirt from settling into the loops, keeping the texture looking fresh.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, gently blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it can damage the loops. Use a mild upholstery cleaner if needed, following the product’s instructions carefully. Test in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t affect the fabric colour.
- Avoid Excess Water: Boucle fabric is sensitive to moisture. If spot cleaning with water, use minimal amounts to prevent saturation, as too much moisture can weaken the fabric’s structure.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning, especially with stubborn stains, consider a professional upholstery cleaning service. This helps maintain the boucle's texture without risking damage from DIY methods.
With regular maintenance, boucle fabric will keep its distinctive, cosy look for years to come.
What is the benefit of choosing green sofas?
Green sofas bring a refreshing and natural feel to any room. The colour green is often associated with growth, harmony, and tranquillity, making it an ideal choice for creating a relaxing atmosphere.
Depending on the shade, green can evoke feelings of calm or add a bold, lively touch, enhancing both contemporary and classic interiors.
What design styles work well with green?
Green sofas are versatile and can fit into a wide variety of design styles, including:
- Botanical and Natural: Light or mid-tone greens complement plant-filled spaces and natural wood finishes.
- Modern: Dark green sofas add depth and sophistication to modern interiors, especially when paired with minimalist decor and metallic accents.
- Traditional: Rich, deep green tones work well in more formal, traditional settings, especially alongside dark wood furniture.
- Eclectic: Green can blend with a range of textures and patterns, making it a bold choice in eclectic interiors.
What cushions work well with green sofas?
Neutral cushions in shades like beige, cream, or light grey pair well with green sofas, providing a subtle contrast.
For a pop of colour, consider mustard yellow, burnt orange, or blush pink, which add warmth and brightness.
Gold or brass tones can add a luxurious touch, while darker greens or even navy blue can create a cohesive, monochromatic look.
What rugs work well with green sofas?
Neutral rugs in cream, beige, or light grey provide balance for the richness of a green sofa.
For more texture and interest, patterned rugs with hints of green or botanical motifs can complement the sofa.
Rugs made from natural fibres like jute or sisal also work beautifully to enhance a natural or bohemian vibe.
What wall colour work well with green sofas?
Light, neutral wall colours such as soft white, cream, or light grey help a green sofa stand out without overwhelming the room.
For a more daring approach, deep jewel tones like rich emerald or sapphire can create a sophisticated, dramatic look.
Earthy tones like taupe, beige, or warm terracotta also pair harmoniously with green sofas.
