How to Style a Sofa CornerOne of the most ideal spots to curl up on after a tiring day at work, corner sofas are hands-down the best way to offer enough seating to sprawl on while expanding the living space. A suitable choice for a family home setup, a corner sofa leaves the room looking plush while providing the ultimate comfort. However, it is essential to remember that there is much more to consider than just the laid-back exterior while styling just the right L-shape sofa. 

Picking a theme

While styling your corner sofa, ensure you have an understanding of the rest of the room’s décor for all the pieces to work in harmony with the other. Consider the space you have, and if you plan on a shabby chic or modern look, or even a minimalistic approach. Also, you could have a specific pattern or colour in mind while picking this spacious furniture piece. For instance, pastels and light shades such as creams, greys and greens are the first picks for a modish feel, while deep browns, reds and charcoals add a rustic, country vibe to the room. If you are unsure of the theme for the room while styling your corner sofa, throw in a splash of colour and pick a corner sofa that lets you play with accessories in complementary shades. 

Sectioning off the space

Increase the personality of your home by arranging your corner sofa in between the living and dining spaces, so that it draws an invisible line to add a more distinct divide in interior design. By styling your sofa as a separator you could avoid putting up a wall, ensuring that mingling of both these spaces is still possible with a hint of subtle partition. Go a step further by placing a side table towards the back of the L-shaped furniture piece to create a chic countertop for placing photographs, vases, and planters on. 

Filling the room with light

Corner sofas are more than just lounge furniture sets. These exquisite pieces determine the layout of the room and become the point of focus. If styled incorrectly, the corner sofa can make a small space feel more cramped. For living spaces that lack natural light, introduce a floor lamp placed right behind the corner sofa to make the room look bright and appealing. If the space is small, choose an L-shaped sofa that is raised up from the floor with slender, contemporary legs. This lets the light circulate through the room, adding an airy but warm, welcoming look. 

Mixing and matching cushions

Saving the best for the last – it’s all about the sofa cushion cover design you use to style the corner sofa. Bright, embroidered sofa cushion covers add a pop of colour to the neutral shades while tying the whole look together. Most corner sofas come with scatter cushions, which can be changed to add a personal touch. Order any colourful sofa cushion online to channel your personality into the decor. Remember, sofa cushion design can be the ‘make it or break it’ element on a corner sofa. Before ordering a cushion online, pick the number you will need to style the L-shaped sofa.

 Adding other accessories such as wall art, coffee tables, rugs, and more can be the cherry on top to complement that perfect corner sofa in your house. Decorate your space further by scrolling through the various home decor items offered on our extensive catalogue on D’Decor.
