Is a L-Shaped Sofa Suitable for Your Living Room?
Celadon L-shaped Modular Fabric Sofa | Cellini
Setting up your first apartment? Or perhaps you’re looking to revamp your living room with new furniture. Whatever the reason may be, there is no denying that one of the key living room furniture is the sofa. While there are multiple types of sofas in the market today, your lifestyle and personal preferences will help you narrow in on the perfect one. For instance, a motorised leather recliner like the Concerto satisfies a more modern aesthetic while clean-lined and minimal designs, as seen in the Ross fabric 2-seater sofa, offer a more classic feel. Of these varying types of sofas, the L-shaped sofa is an incredibly adaptable furniture piece that will allow homeowners to transform their abode into a spacious yet inviting and homely living space. The best addition to any living room set, this versatile sofa will fit into any room regardless of its size or shape.
The Appeal of L-Shaped Sofas
A sub-type of the sectional sofa, an L-shaped sofa is built with sofas and additional corner chairs that make it ideal for spacious open floor plans. But that is not to say that they are only ideal for large homes. L-shaped sofas are also appreciated for their ability to maximise the usage of corners in a living space given their angular design. When playing around with space-saving furniture arrangement ideas for small homes, an L-shaped sofa will facilitate the creation of more space where you need it most. Famed for being functional and space-efficient, these sofas will occupy less space compared to regular sofas while doubling your seating options. Beyond its functionality, L-shaped sofas are popular due to their ability to act as a show-stopping centrepiece in any living room.
Finding the Right L-Shaped Couch
One of the biggest concerns most homeowners have when it comes to buying an L-shaped sofa is whether this relatively large piece of furniture will fit into their homes or overwhelm an allocated space. But fret not! Its configuration innately leaves a living space feeling open and free with little to no obstruction. As such, it is not a matter of whether the sofa will fit but more on how homeowners can make it fit. To ensure that this modern sofa option does complement existing living room design schemes, consider the following:
1. Size, Size, Size
The first step to take for every furniture shopping venture is to ensure that you have all the measurements in place. From measuring the available space in your room to the actual size of the sofa, be certain that there is sufficient space so that there are no limitations in terms of walking space. If you are planning to add a coffee table or throw in storage boxes to fill in tiny gaps of space, this is especially important. Afterall, you would not want your main furniture piece being an inconvenience by obstructing your floor space.
2. Placement of the Chaise
For homeowners who live in a smaller apartment with limited living space, the size of the chaise might also be a concern. However, there are several L-shaped sofa options that come with a compact chaise. Pieces like the Celadon small L-shape modular fabric sofa are a classic example of a simplistic design that utilises space efficiently. When placed against the wall, these compact sofas will take up very little space. With back padded seating in the chaise section, there will be sufficient room for your guests to lean back and relax too! Moreover, when it comes to L-shaped sofas, the chaise can be designed to be placed on either side, allowing you to configure the sectional based on your preferred layout. It is also perfect for an island setting. At Cellini, you can choose between the right and left configurations and customise your chosen sofa design according to your needs.
3. Choosing the Right Material
The age-old question of fabric or leather sofa still remains when it comes to the L-shaped sofa sets. Since fabric and leather are the two popular upholstery materials to choose from, homeowners will only have to determine which of the two will be more fitting for their homes. Leather L-shaped corner sofas like the Korus sectional leather sofa with adjustable headrests have a timeless look and would fit into any modern home. For those looking for pet, child and space-friendly options, the Luceo L-shape fabric sofa with wooden storage arm is a great one to consider. Homeowners drawn to muted tones such as misty greys do not have to worry about their cream or grey fabric L-shaped sofa getting stained by their pets or kids since FabricGard is one of the fabric options made available by Cellini.
L-Shaped Sofa Layouts
L-shaped sofas will streamline the appearance of your interior, making the process of arranging and fitting it into your home a fun-filled one. Be it a 2 seater L-shaped sofa or a leather reclining sectional, there are three common arrangements for L-shaped sofas:
1. Nestled Against a Corner
When pushed against the wall, a visual pathway will be created. Not only will floor space be freed up, but no matter how big the sofa set is, it will never appear obtrusive. Pushing your fabric or leather L-shaped sofa to a corner will also create an inviting spot for lounging.
2. Demarcating Two Different Living Spaces
Regardless of the shape of the sofa, do not feel obligated to place your L-shaped leather or fabric couch in the corner. Get creative and be a little unconventional if you’d like. Leverage its angular shape and utilise it to define spaces in a room. For example, this sofa can emphasise separation by splitting the lounge area from the dining area. To make your home more open and breezier, choose an upholstery colour that blends in with the colour scheme of your living space.
3. In the Centre of the Room
Remarkably adaptable to any forms of arrangement, a common layout is having the L-shaped sofa in the center of a room. This lets the sofa set take centre stage in the living room. If your home is large enough, you can even aim to create an entertainment zone with the sectional sofa. By devoting the most of the middle of your room to your sofa, you will be able to add in other furniture pieces within the area to make it more homely and comfortable for all.
