A corner sofa is the sociable heart of a living room - an L-shaped run that seats the whole family, tucks neatly into an alcove or open-plan space, and gives everyone a spot facing the TV. Our range spans compact corners for smaller rooms, generous chaise-end designs for stretching out, and larger sets for busy households, in fabric and faux-leather finishes built to stand up to daily family life.
Below you'll find practical guidance on choosing the orientation, measuring your room and delivery access, and picking comfort and covers that suit you - with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.
Corner sofas are described as left-hand or right-hand facing, and it's the single most important choice to get correct. The convention is simple: sit on the sofa looking out into the room, then note which side the long return or chaise runs to - that's the "hand" you need. Sketch your room, mark the door, window, radiator and TV, and decide which way the corner should turn so it hugs the wall you have in mind without blocking a doorway or the light from a window.
A corner sofa's footprint is bigger than a standard sofa, so measure carefully. Note both lengths of the L against the walls they'll sit along, and leave roughly 40-45cm in front for legroom plus a clear walkway so the room still feels open. For delivery, this is where corners need the most thought: measure the narrowest point on the route in - front door, internal doorways, hallway turns and staircase widths - and check it against each section. Many corner sofas arrive in two or more parts to ease access, which makes tight doorways and stairs far more manageable.
How you'll use the corner shapes the comfort you want.
Because a corner sofa takes plenty of daily use, a simple routine keeps it looking sharp. Rotate and plump the seat and back cushions weekly so the most-used corner doesn't wear faster than the rest, and vacuum along the seams with a soft brush head. If the sofa comes in linked sections, check the connecting brackets occasionally and re-seat them if they drift. Blot spills promptly rather than rubbing, and keep the sofa out of strong direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Sit on the sofa looking out into the room, then see which side the long return or chaise runs to - that side is the "hand" you need. A right-hand facing corner has the long section on your right as you sit, and a left-hand facing corner has it on your left.
Measure both walls the L will sit along and mark the door, window and radiator on a quick sketch. Leave about 40-45cm in front for legroom and keep a clear walkway. Then measure the narrowest point on the delivery route and check it against each section.
Many corner sofas arrive in two or more sections precisely to ease access through tight doorways and up awkward stairs. Measure the narrowest doorway, hallway turn and staircase on the route, then compare against each part's width, height and depth.
Yes, a compact corner can seat several people in the footprint of a standard sofa by using the corner of the room efficiently. Choose a smaller design with a shorter chaise, and pick the orientation that hugs the wall and keeps walkways clear.
A tighter-weave fabric in a mid-tone or pattern hides everyday marks and feels warm underfoot, while faux leather wipes clean in seconds and resists spills. Removable cushions on either make it easy to rotate for even wear.
We deliver across the UK, carefully packed and often in sections, and every corner sofa is covered by our 30-day returns policy so you can be confident it's right for your room.
