Whether you’re decorating a large living room, or if you just want to maximise the limited space you have available for seating and chilling in any given room, a corner sofa is a genius piece of furniture.
It saves you space, as you don’t have the gap that’s left by two sofas placed perpendicular to each other. They also tend to seat more people and just generally lend themselves to the perfect environment for movie sessions and chill.
Interior designer Kirsten Wilson agrees. “The best thing about a corner sofa is sinking into the corner, getting comfy, putting your feet up, putting a good movie on, with plenty of room for others to sit with you,” she says.
“A corner sofa can be the focal point of a room if done right, and really helps to divide a large space into separate seating zones.”
I couldn’t agree more, so - with some help from Kirsten - I’ve selected the top corner sofas you can shop online right now. Scroll down for more information about Kirsten and why you should trust her.
