Corner Sofas

Corner Sofas & L-Shaped Sofas

The corner sofa is currently the most popular sofa configuration in the UK, with over 110,000 monthly searches from homeowners looking to optimise their space. Corner sofas are designed to sit neatly in corners, using often-wasted space while offering more seating than a standard 3-seater. An L-shaped sofa is ideal for open-plan living, as it creates a natural division between the lounging area and the rest of the room without making the room feel closed off.

At Furniture Direct Online, our range includes everything from small corner sofas for compact apartments to spacious 7 seater corner sofas for large families. When you buy sofas online from us, you benefit from the fact that 95% of our stock is ready for fast 2-5 day delivery.

Small Corner Sofas

Not every home has room for a massive furniture set, which is why small corner sofas are a popular choice for many UK homes. A small L-shaped sofa typically has a width of under 250cm, making it perfect for studio apartments, smaller houses, or starter flats. These compact models provide significantly more seating than a standard 2-seater while still keeping the neat L-shaped layout.

If you need to shop small corner sofas, the Chelsea Cream Left Corner Sofa is a strong space-saving option. At 214cm wide, 167cm long and 90cm deep, it offers proper corner seating without overwhelming a compact living room. Priced at £749, it is a practical choice for smaller homes, flats and cosy lounge spaces.

Large Corner Sofas

For those who love to entertain or have a big family, large corner sofas give you plenty of room to sit, stretch out and host guests. They can replace multiple smaller chairs, helping the room feel more organised and less cluttered. If you prefer a more traditional 3+2 or 3+2+1 layout, you can also compare large corner sofas with our sofa sets before choosing the best fit for your space.

5 Seater Corner Sofa

A 5-seater is the standard choice for medium-sized families who want room to stretch out. You can purchase 5 seater corner sofas like our modular sets that allow for flexible seating.

6 Seater Corner Sofa

Stepping up in size, 6-seater models like the Olivia Corner Sofa 6 Seater Universal Corner (£1,099.00) provide ample space for everyone to have a seat during movie night.

7 Seater Corner Sofa

A 7 seater corner sofa is ideal for larger families, open-plan rooms and homes where everyone needs a proper seat. For a truly spacious feel, the Vegas Corner Sofa 7 Seater Universal Full Back Grey (£1,299.00) gives everyone a proper place to sit.

Left Hand & Right Hand Corner Sofas

Understanding configuration is important when choosing your corner settee sofa. The "hand" of the sofa determines which side the longer chaise section extends towards.

• Left Hand Corner Sofa: When you stand facing where the sofa will be placed, the corner piece is on your left and the longer section extends to your left.
• Right Hand Corner Sofa: When facing the sofa, the corner is on the right and the chaise extends to your right.

We recommend measuring your room and sketching the layout before you buy a left hand corner sofa to ensure it doesn't block doorways or radiators.

Leather & Fabric Corner Sofas

The material of your corner sofa affects both the room's aesthetic and the sofa's maintenance.

Leather Corner Sofas

A leather corner sofa offers a sophisticated, modern appearance and is easy to wipe clean. This makes it a top choice for high-traffic living rooms or families with children. The Roma Recliner Corner Sofa in Grey Faux Leather (£799.00) is a great option for a contemporary home.

Fabric Corner Sofas

Fabric corner sofas are loved for their soft, comfortable textures and wide variety of colours. Materials like Plush Velvet or Soft Chenille provide a warmer, more traditional aesthetic. The Sloane Corner Sofa in Plush Velvet (£1,099.00) is a perfect example of a soft, statement option for living rooms that need both comfort and style.

Corner Sofa Colours

The right colour can help your corner sofa blend in, stand out or make the room feel brighter.

• Grey Corner Sofa: This is our most popular choice because it is a versatile neutral that hides marks well. Check out the Verona Modular Corner Sofa range in grey, with prices starting from £899 for the 5 seater option.
• Black Corner Sofa: Modern and sophisticated, a black corner sofa like the Broadgate Corner Sofa (£1,099.00) makes a bold statement in open spaces.
• Cream Corner Sofa: For a light, elegant feel, the Carnaby Cream Small U Shaped Sofa (£1,099.00) is a useful comparison if you are also considering a compact U-shaped layout.

Corner Sofa Beds

With 27,100 monthly searches, the corner sofa bed is a popular choice because it gives you seating by day and sleeping space when guests stay over. These models convert from a comfortable L-shaped sofa into a spacious guest bed.

Corner Sofa Bed with Storage

For added practicality, many choose a corner sofa bed with storage. The Meridian U Shape Sofa Bed with Storage (£1,399.00) features built-in compartments in the chaise section for pillows and blankets, making it perfect for small homes or guest rooms. You can buy corner sofa beds in various fabrics and configurations.

Corner Recliner Sofas

If comfort is your priority, a corner recliner sofa is a must-have for cinema-style home entertainment.

• Electric Recliner Corner Sofas: These offer effortless reclining at the touch of a button, often including smart features like USB ports.
• Manual Recliner Corner Sofas: These use a reliable lever mechanism and are generally more affordable.

Popular models like the Sorrentino Corner Recliner Sofa in Grey Fabric (£799.00) or the Rio Recliner Corner Sofa with cupholders (£899.00) make family movie nights more comfortable. 

Corner Sofa Dimensions and Sizing

Before ordering your new corner sofa, ensure it fits your space using this guide:

How to Measure for a Corner Sofa

Measure both walls from the corner outwards, then mark any doors, radiators, windows or plug sockets that could affect placement. Leave at least 50cm around key access points and around 80cm for main walkways. If you are buying a recliner corner sofa, allow extra space behind and in front of the sofa so the seats can fully recline.

Modular Corner Sofas

If you want a sofa that can grow with your family or adapt to a new house, modular corner sofas are the answer. These allow you to rearrange sections into an L-shape, U-shape, or even separate seating units. The Vegas Modular Corner Sofa (From £949.00) offers this exact flexibility.

Corner Sofa Sale

If you are looking for cheap corner sofas without compromising on quality, keep an eye on our corner sofa sale. We offer budget-friendly options like the Verona Modular Corner Sofa, which is currently on sale from £899. Shop the sofa sale to find clearance deals on both fabric and leather models.

FAQ

What is a corner sofa?

A corner sofa is a sofa with an L-shaped or U-shaped layout, designed to give you more seating in one connected piece. Many people place them in a corner, but they can also work well in open-plan rooms where you want to divide the space naturally.

How do I choose between a left-hand and right-hand corner sofa?

Stand facing the spot where your sofa will go. If the longer section needs to run to the left, choose a left-hand corner sofa. If it needs to run to the right, choose a right-hand corner sofa. It is also worth checking doors, radiators and TV position before ordering.

Do corner sofas come in parts?

Yes, most corner sofas are delivered in separate sections. This makes delivery much easier, especially if you have narrow doors, stairs or tight hallways. The sections are then joined together once the sofa is in the room.

Are corner sofas good for small living rooms?

Yes, as long as you choose the right size. A small corner sofa can often make better use of space than a separate 2-seater and armchair because it keeps the seating in one neat area. Just make sure you measure both walls before buying.

Can you separate a corner sofa?

Some modular corner sofas can be separated and rearranged, which is useful if you move home or want to change your layout. Fixed corner sofas are usually designed to stay connected, but they can normally be taken apart when moving or delivering.

Do corner sofas have to go in a corner?

No, not always. A corner sofa can sit in the middle of an open-plan room to create a clear lounge area. This works especially well in larger living rooms, kitchen-diners or family spaces where you want the sofa to act as a natural divider.

Is there an affordable corner sofa with free delivery?

Yes, Furniture Direct Online offers a range of affordable corner sofas, including smaller fabric designs and sale options. Free UK delivery is available across the corner sofa collection, so you can choose a sofa that fits both your room and your budget.
