Corner sofa: photos of the main types of structures, their classification

Classic designs and corner sofas with a berth have long been used by designers to create exclusive projects. These pieces of furniture are also popular among owners of private houses and city apartments. They are widely used for furnishing premises of various sizes and purposes. Every year, manufacturers release new collections of sofas with improved designs, offering customers a huge selection of shapes and sizes, textures and colors.

Corner sofas are classified by shape, type of design and mechanism

Existing types of sofas are classified:

by type of construction;
according to form;
by type of mechanism (folding, roll-out, unfolding).

When purchasing furniture, its functionality, color and upholstery options, style and features of the room where it will be installed are also taken into account.

When choosing a sofa, you need to take into account its style, color and upholstery options.

Classification by type of design: photos of corner sofas in the hall

Mostly consumers choose corner sofas with a sleeping place for their room. According to the type of construction, they can be modular or stationary.

Stationary structures come in two types:

monolithic (very rare);
consisting of two parts.

Stationary sofas can be monolithic or consisting of two parts

In stationary models of corner sofas, structural elements can be connected in various ways. Quite often bolts are used as fastenings. However, this fixation option is not suitable if frequent rearrangements in the house are expected. In this case, it would be more advisable to purchase furniture whose parts are connected using two plates. One of them looks like a hook, and the second looks like a bracket. This fastening option allows you to obtain a strong connection.

Note! Physical strength is required to disassemble the hook/clip connection. It will be much easier for a woman to deal with bolts.

The most popular are sofas with a berth.

The designs of modular corner sofas for the living room can consist of 3 or more parts. One part has an angular shape, the remaining elements can be moved and swapped as desired. Thus, the configuration of the sofa can be adjusted at your discretion.

Advantages of modular soft corners in the hall:

large selection of sizes and configurations;
expanded functionality due to attached elements;
If necessary, the sofa can be supplemented with new details that will satisfy all emerging needs.

Modular corner sofas consist of three or more parts

In addition, spectacular photos of corner sofas in the living rooms clearly reflect how harmoniously such designs combine with open floor plans. Provided that the color scheme is chosen correctly, modular furniture can become a key element of the interior. Most often it is used to create an environment in the style of modern minimalism, industrial and Scandinavian trends and eco style. All these design options are characterized by conciseness and contrasts, which are achieved through different textures of materials.

Standard and unusual shapes of corner sofas for the living room

Large and compact corner sofas with a sleeping place most often have an L-shape. Moreover, there are options on sale with both parts of equal length and asymmetrical ones, which are assembled on the left or right side. This type of construction is the most common.

As a rule, corner sofas with a berth are L-shaped

In addition, you can purchase U-shaped sofas. They are used for zoning in rooms with open plans, where the spaces of two rooms are combined, for example:

kitchen and living room;
living room and dining room;
kitchen and dining room.

U-shaped sofas for open floor plans have short sides and a longer middle. Such furniture in a large room can serve as a full-fledged relaxation area or, in combination with armchairs and a coffee table, be used to receive guests.

A corner sofa can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical in shape

In addition to standard forms, there are also original types of designs. Semicircular sofas are ideal for dividing space. The design has no corners, so the likelihood of accidentally getting caught while passing by and getting hurt is minimal. Thus, semicircular sofas will fit perfectly into the interior of small apartments. We must not forget that they are intended only for sitting and do not have a sleeping area.

Helpful advice! Semicircular structures can be effectively used for furnishing rooms of non-standard configuration. They are suitable for arranging a relaxation area in a room with a bay window.

Most often, L-shaped corner sofas with a berth are designed for 2 people

One of the options for L-shaped products is a corner sofa with a chair-bed. Such furniture consists of two parts: the longer part looks like a stationary structure, and the short one can be used as a separate chair. If desired, the product can be transformed into two sleeping places. Chairs equipped with recliners are also available for sale. These mechanisms allow you to get a comfortable bed that can be used for relaxing in the middle of the day.

Filler

PPU (furniture foam rubber) and a spring block are used as filler, which provides users with convenience and comfort.

Some models of corner sofas have a number of additional functions: a drawer for storing linen, shelves, a hidden bar and a small table.

Based on personal preferences, each buyer chooses a model based on financial considerations and intended purpose.

Transformable beds: photos of corner sofas with different transformation mechanisms

To choose the best sofa for your home, you should pay special attention to the folding mechanism. Comfort and ease of use will depend on this. All existing models of corner transforming sofas can be divided into three categories:

When buying a corner sofa, you need to pay special attention to the choice of mechanism

retractable or roll-out (“Eurobook”, “Tick-tock”, “Dolphin”, “Pantograph”, “Accordion”, “Conrad”);
folding (“Book”, “Click-clack”, “Couch”);
unfolding (folding beds).

Each type of mechanism has its own characteristics and principle of operation.

Sofa in the living room with a sleeping place and a folding mechanism “Book”

Sofas of the “Book” type are distinguished by a reliable mechanism. This furniture option can last for several generations. Advantages of the sofa:

long service life;
belongs to the category of small corner sofas with a sleeping place, and therefore is practical;
affordable price;
the presence of a hidden place to store bedding;
mechanism that can be easily transformed.

To unfold such a sofa, you need to lift its seat at an angle of 45° until you hear a click. After this, the structure should be lowered. As a result, the backrest automatically forms one plane together with the seat. The “Book” design also has disadvantages. If such a sofa is placed close to the wall, it will not be possible to unfold it. In addition, when opened, a hollow is formed between the back and the seat, which can create inconvenience during sleep.

Characteristics of a corner sofa with a berth “Click-clack”

Folding sofas include “Click-Klyak” designs, which have a structure similar to the “Book” product, although their transformation mechanism differs in the principle of its operation. Thanks to this mechanism, the furniture has not two, but three positions:

sitting;
lying down;
reclining.

Sofas with the “Click-Klyak” mechanism are similar to the “Book” design

Helpful advice! The assortment of stores usually includes mass-produced furniture items. If you want to purchase a sofa with an unusual design, which can be classified as an art object, you should visit a specialized exhibition or order an individual production from a designer.

Thanks to the intermediate reclining position, this model will be an ideal option for creating a living room interior with a corner sofa. At the same time, the armrests of the product also have a movable design. Due to this, you can increase the seat area by obtaining comfortable headrests, and these elements are lowered not only together, but also separately.

“Click-klyak” sofas have three positions: sitting, lying and reclining

Advantages of the “Click-Klyak” sofa:

three design positions that provide complete comfort;
compact dimensions;
modern appearance and stylish design.

Corner sofas with a click-clack mechanism have a modern and stylish design

Like the classic “Book”, this sofa cannot be placed close to the wall. In addition, the transformation mechanism wears out much faster.

Double corner sofas: folding mechanisms “Eurobook” and “Dolphin”

An improved version of the “Book” is the “Eurobook”. The folding mechanism is very simple, so even a child can unfold the sofa. To do this, you need to roll the seat forward, and then lower the backrest to the place that is vacant. The transformation mechanism operates smoothly and silently - no squeaks or clicks. Advantages of the Eurobook:

Robust design and high-quality materials.
The structure of the transformation mechanism is simplified as much as possible, so the likelihood of breakdown is extremely low.
“Eurobook” is a large corner sofa with a large sleeping area, which has a flat surface without cracks.
Availability of spacious drawers for storing linen.
Large selection of sizes.
The transformation mechanism allows you to install the sofa close to the wall.

Helpful advice! When purchasing a “Eurobook” with metal legs that extend along with the seat, it is recommended to select models that have rubber linings. Otherwise, when unfolding the sofa, the floor covering will be damaged.

Corner sofas "Eurobook" have the most convenient mechanism

“Dolphin” is another option for a corner sofa with a large sleeping area. Unlike the Eurobook, its design is solid. The corner can be located either on the left or on the right, but it is completely fixed. The sleeping area is located under the main seat. To pull it out, you need to pull the handle towards you. Next, the opening mechanism operates like a “Book”.

The advantages of this model include the large size of the sleeping area. It is formed from several parts, but despite this, the surface is comfortable and smooth. Only models made from low-quality materials have disadvantages. If the sofa frame is not made of solid wood, the product will quickly become unusable.

Advantages of large corner sofas “Tick-tock” and “Pantograph”

The “Tick-Tock” sofa is a variation of the “Eurobook”, although the mechanism for its transformation operates on a different principle. The process of unfolding the structure occurs in the air. To do this, you do not need to pull or roll the seat along the floor, you just need to lift it and smoothly lower it towards you in an arc. As a result, the sofa opens without unnecessary effort, silently and quickly.

Advantages of “Tick-tock” designs:

Products with the “Tick-Tock” mechanism are one of the varieties of the “Eurobook”

The possibility of scratches on the floor covering is eliminated, since the legs are equipped with protective rubber pads.
It doesn't require much space to open.
All models come with cushions and cushions.

Externally, corner sofas for living rooms with a Pantograph transformation mechanism resemble Tic-Tac structures, but during the opening process the seat does not contact the floor at all. During sleep, this element remains in an overhanging position. This folding mechanism is also called “stepping”, since there are no rollers in the design. The advantages of such models include a convenient operating system and a long service life. In addition, all mechanical parts are highly resistant to wear.

Features of corner sofas with Accordion and Conrad mechanisms

Sofas with the Accordion transformation mechanism are in high demand among buyers due to their compact dimensions. They are easy to use and provide a comfortable place to sleep. The folding process is carried out in a perpendicular direction. To do this, you only need to make one movement. There is a hidden strap handle on the seat of the sofa, by pulling it you can fully open the structure.

Note! “Conrad” is the most suitable corner sofa for daily use; with a solid-shaped orthopedic mattress and an almost flat surface, this design can provide comfortable conditions for proper rest and sleep.

Corner sofas with the Konrad mechanism are the best option for daily use

Accordion sofas have a larger sleeping area. They are able to withstand weight loads of up to 180 kg, and in case of breakdown they can be successfully repaired. It is not recommended to place such furniture on a long-pile carpet, since unfolding it in this case will be problematic.

The best option for sleeping is also a sofa with a “Conrad” transformation mechanism. The design is based on a block with springs, which can become a complete replacement for an expensive orthopedic mattress. The layout principle is almost the same as that of the previous sofa. The difference is that the hidden padded unit is raised after the seat is pulled out using a hidden handle. When assembled, this design is compact in size and provides all the necessary conditions for proper and healthy sleep.

Sofas with the Accordion mechanism are durable and easy to use

Unfolding upholstered furniture: corner sofa beds and single couches

The category of unfolding furniture includes all corner folding sofas. They are distinguished by their original design and special method of transformation. The unfolding mechanism operates on the principle of a roll that unfolds. There are several types of folding beds:

French - they come complete with decorative pillows and a thin foam mattress. The transformation process is carried out in three stages.
Italian - the folding process begins not from the seat, as in other models, but from the back.
American (“Belgian bed” or “Sedaflex”) - the transformation process consists of two stages, resulting in the formation of a place to sleep with a perfectly flat surface, which has the property of “remembering” the anatomy of the body.

A single corner couch is a mini-sofa for a small room

Note! All models of folding beds are as lightweight as possible. They do not have drawers designed for storing linen.

The couch is a corner mini-sofa with a sleeping place, which is intended for rooms of limited area, for example, a kitchen or a children's room.

Features of a small corner sofa with a sleeper:

Operation of corner sofas: reviews of practicality and quality of designs

Before purchasing a sofa, it is advisable not only to study in detail the possibilities of transformation mechanisms, but also to read reviews from consumers who have already tested the performance of the furniture. Many users share their opinions and impressions on forums:

It is not recommended to place sofas close to a heat source

“Two years ago, my husband and I bought a white leather corner sofa “Atlanta”. Now, looking at the condition it is in, I decided to leave a review and warn other buyers. The purchase cost us 16 thousand rubles. Fearing that the sofa would be difficult to clean, we did not choose textile upholstery and settled on leather. We couldn’t afford natural upholstery, so we bought a sofa made of eco-leather, which in fact turned out to be low-quality leatherette. Now I have to constantly sweep away the trash because the upholstery keeps falling off.

This sofa has many advantages: affordable price, the manufacturer offers several upholstery options and a large selection of colors, there is a convenient loop for unfolding, and the surface is easy to clean. This is where the advantages of the corner sofa with the Atlanta table end, and the few disadvantages completely cancel them out. Therefore, I cannot recommend this model. It gets dirty easily, the upholstery material is too flimsy, and there is sand in the cells.”

Lyudmila Svyatoshina, Moscow

“When choosing a soft corner sofa for the living room, I came across the Malta 17 model in the store, and it immediately fell into my soul. I ordered online, so I was able to save about 6 thousand rubles. The design is modular and opens like a Eurobook. Each module is equipped with a spacious linen drawer, which is very convenient. The metal frame is very durable.

Thanks to the holofiber filling, the sofa cushions keep their shape perfectly even after a year of use. The covers on them are removable, so I can wash them in the machine if necessary. The berth has two positions. The design of the sofa is very beautiful; the upholstery combines two material options: artificial suede and matting. They performed well during operation. The sofa is comfortable for sleeping. I'm very pleased with my purchase."

Irina Kotsyuba, St. Petersburg

Reviews from other customers can help you choose a corner sofa.

Important! You should not place a corner leather sofa in the living room near heat sources, such as heaters or radiators. Under the influence of high temperatures, the upholstery material will dry out and crack, and also become faded. The same thing will happen if direct sunlight hits its surface.

How to decide on sizes

Before purchasing upholstered furniture, you should decide on its size. In addition to simply measuring the walls, you should consider some important points:

When placing a sofa in the living room, it is necessary to ensure free access to it. Remember that for a person to pass freely between pieces of furniture, at least 60 cm is required. Arrange a sofa and armchair, coffee table or shelving, taking into account the distance between them.
For comfortable sitting, each of those present will need 50 cm of surface. If your family is large, calculate the dimensions of the furniture correctly, otherwise spending time together will become problematic.
The seat should suit your preferences. Some people like a deep and soft landing, while others prefer a more rigid base and high headrests.
Consider the overall ratio of the size of the sofa and the dimensions of the room. Too impressive dimensions, even if they can be installed, will be inconvenient and cumbersome, while modest parameters can also be conspicuous by their miniature inappropriateness.

Leather upholstery options and current colors of corner sofas: photos of sofas with fashionable designs

Every year new trends come into force, so interior fashion is changing rapidly. This is especially true for the color scheme. In order not to make a mistake when choosing colors for a corner sofa, you can stick to win-win combinations that are suitable for bedrooms or small living rooms. Neutral colors are good for any interior. Ocher and various earth tones are the ideal solution. Neutral colors also include corner sofas in gray shades, of which there are many.

If you intend to use white, you will have to carefully consider the design of the room with a corner sofa so that the furniture does not blend in with the light walls, for example, you can hang a decorative panel. Delicate beige and cream shades look very natural in the interior. They are suitable for creating a calm atmosphere. To make the decor in the room more expressive, you can add black, blue-blue and blueberry shades (the main thing is not to overdo it). If dark colors predominate in the interior, the flooring must be light, otherwise the atmosphere will be too gloomy.

If the monochrome design of the sofa seems too boring, you can play with contrasts of colors and textures. It is not always possible to be sure that the chosen color will correspond to the trends of the next season. In this case, you should give preference to models with removable covers. They will allow you to change the color of your furniture without having to buy a new sofa.

Gray leather sofas are the most popular among consumers

The following colors can be seen in the latest collections of large furniture factories:

sea wave;
mint (muted);
pearl;
pale green or blue.

Helpful advice! If the sofa has a very bright color, you definitely need to add accents to the interior that will support its design, for example, a lampshade, a carpet, a vase.

Features of leather sofas: photos of corner structures

The design of elite leather corner sofas looks luxurious and status. However, given the high cost, this material requires careful care. Some designers do not see a disadvantage in the natural, noble aging of natural leather, but this option is only possible if the coating is treated with care and treated with special care products.

If you want to purchase a modern leather corner sofa, be sure to consider the following points:

Leather corner sofas are expensive and require careful care

Pets and small children can accelerate wear and tear on the material. It will be very difficult, and in some cases impossible, to restore the skin after such exposure.
To enhance the shine of glossy leather, polyurethane or nitro enamel is used. Thanks to this, the quality level of the material increases, but the natural appearance, which is the most valuable advantage of genuine leather, is lost.
Aniline leather has a breathable surface, but its cost is very high.
If you want to buy a really high-quality sofa with good upholstery, you will have to overpay for a brand name.

A worthy alternative to leather corner sofas with a berth can be structures covered with a substitute. Eco-friendly leather and all its varieties are practical and budget-friendly. Unlike natural upholstery, this covering option is more humane. Despite the fact that manufacturers of stylish corner leather sofas offer trendy color options for natural coverings, the palette of environmentally friendly substitutes can be almost limitless.

High-quality eco-leather options so accurately convey the texture of natural material and its properties that they are easy to confuse. This upholstery no longer looks artificial and has nothing in common with leatherette. Thanks to micropores, eco-friendly leather “breathes” and therefore does not stick.

Helpful advice! If you want to purchase a sofa with an original design at an affordable price, you should pay attention to combined models. In such designs, the lower part is covered with leather, and the remaining parts are upholstered in fabric.

It is not recommended to purchase a leather sofa for a house where there are animals or children.

Stylish details in the design of corner sofas: photos of furniture with original decor

Minimalism prevails in modern interiors. Despite this, the use of decorative details in the design of corner sofas is allowed. Thanks to these elements, even the most boring and simple model at first glance can become an exclusive and spectacular piece of furniture.

Common decorative options:

Capitone screed has long ceased to be an integral part of classic interiors; it is also widely used when decorating rooms in other styles.
Decorative edging - should contrast with the background of the main upholstery.
Fringe - it is used to trim the lower part of the sofa. This decor option is rarely used in mass production.
Contrast seams - stitches are made from the outside so that they are clearly visible against the general background.

Decorative piping in a contrasting color is a common option for finishing sofas.

If the room has enough free space, it is not necessary to buy a sofa of the correct geometric shape. Models with a semicircular design and fleecy upholstery are an excellent option for organizing a comfortable lounge area.

How to change the mood of the interior: photos of corner sofas in the room

Decorative components of the design of modern sofas also include pillows. Skillful handling of shapes, textures and colors will allow you to control the mood of the room. Successful design options:

Strip. The simplest method of combining different textures and shades to achieve a single color scheme.
Pillow of non-standard shape. To transform the appearance of the sofa, one element with an unusual design will be enough, for example, a pillow in the form of a beautiful cushion or “tablet”.
Double sided pillows. The cover is made from several companion fabrics, for example, one side is plain, and the other is decorated with plant motifs.

Helpful advice! Some sofa models have decorative and functional details made of wood (shelves, tables, armrests) or metal (legs, connecting elements). To make the interior look harmonious, these materials should optionally be included in the decor.

Multifunctional corner sofa: with table, shelf and bar

Manufacturers produce corner sofas with expanded functionality especially for the interiors of small living rooms. They allow you to save space in the room and, through additional equipment, get furniture with additional capabilities.

Multifunctional sofas save space in the room

On sale you can find many interesting modifications with ergonomic design:

corner sofas with a table in the corner (and there can be several tables);
products equipped with specialized stands for placing computer equipment;
structures with built-in lighting system;
models with bookshelves;
corner sofas with a bar in the corner (the bar can have a roll-out or lift-up design);

The most popular are sofas with tables or shelves.

products with shelves for decorative souvenirs;
designs with movable headrests and attached armrests;
furniture with hanging side pockets designed for storing remote controls and periodicals;
models with built-in acoustic system.

Recommendations for choosing textiles

Corner furniture accessories should fit harmoniously into the decor through the use of similar shades or textures.

Cape, blanket, bedspread. They have both a practical and decorative function. If desired, you can cover the upholstery with a blanket to protect it from dirt. If you cover the sofa with a blanket, the atmosphere will become homely.
Pillows. Traditional decoration of corner furniture. They can be in harmony with armchairs, curtains and other interior elements.
Carpet. Visually unifies the space, combining the shades used in the decor.

Interiors with corner sofas in the living room, bedroom and kitchen

The kitchen, in comparison with other rooms, has a very small area, so it is advisable to select compact sofa models for this room. These designs are used to provide space for eating. To focus attention on this area, you can use furniture with bright upholstery.

Do not forget that furniture in the kitchen is constantly exposed to contamination, so experts recommend choosing a sofa from among models with removable upholstery or purchasing products with a coating that is easy to clean.

The hall is the face of the house, so in the photo of corner sofas in living room interiors you can see presentable models with a large number of comfortable seats to accommodate guests. The best option for organizing a relaxation area in front of the TV in the living room would be an L-shaped sofa, equipped with a coffee table.

A massive, presentable corner sofa is an ideal solution for a large living room

Helpful advice! If the decoration on the walls is made in bright colors or decorated with ornaments, the sofa, on the contrary, should be decorated in neutral colors, for example, gray, beige, coffee or white. Thanks to light upholstery, the structure will look lighter. This option is not suitable for living rooms that are combined with a kitchen, since stains will be visible on such a surface.

When buying a corner sofa for the bedroom, special attention should be paid to the color scheme, upholstery material and internal filling. This room is intended for relaxation, so the colors of the furniture should not be annoying. The best option for the bedroom is the Eurobook, but you should avoid a leather sofa, since the bedding on it will constantly slide. In addition, genuine leather makes a creaking noise that will interfere with sleep.

Helpful advice! A sofa with an adjustable backrest is comfortable for all family members, regardless of their height.

Design of beautiful corner sofas in different styles

The design of loft-style rooms usually contains decor and industrial details, for example, pipes, brickwork, walls imitating concrete, etc. The layout of such rooms assumes the absence of partitions, so you can often see a corner sofa in a loft - furniture is used in this case for zoning space.

Corner sofas look great in rooms of different styles

Provence style combines rural motifs and the charming decoration of village houses. In such a room, a corner sofa will perform several functions at once. It will not only decorate the room and be an excellent addition to the decor, but will also provide a comfortable relaxation area. The sizes of such sofas can be very diverse, but compact models are the most in demand.

Classic corner sofas with a traditional design are no less popular. Some buyers prefer antique models or furniture stylized (to resemble antique objects): natural upholstery, leather covering, frame made of expensive wood. In the production process of most of these sofas, modern materials are used.

Country style sofas have a simple design and a rough shape dominated by straight lines. There is no polishing or varnish coating on the wooden elements. The typeface usually has an artificially aged appearance. For upholstery, materials decorated with small patterns are used. Patination, painting and brushing are encouraged in the design.

On the contrary, the design of modern corner sofas is dominated by curved lines and plastic shapes, and elegant fittings are used.

Modern corner sofas are characterized by strict lines and shapes
