Your living room has to walk the line when you want to relax, socialize with friends and family, and entertain guests. Whether your living room just needs that finishing touch to bring every piece of furniture in the room together or needs a bit more help, a corner lounge provides comfort and lots of seating to stretch out and watch your favorite shows or movies. Moreover, it is ideal for turning your empty corners into a casual lounge area or a show-stopping piece in your home.
However, one of the biggest challenges with these sofas is their size and lack of flexibility when it comes to placement in a room. Despite this challenge, corner lounges are still very popular on the market. To help you gain the comfort and relaxation offered by these corner lounges, we have outlined some design options that may be best for you and your home and well suited to your space.
Add the Sofa in the Corner of the room
The corner sofa serves as the main focal point in the living room, as it takes up most of the corner of the room, Placing a fireplace in front of the sofa can provide both warmth and comfort. To further enhance the seating arrangement, additional chairs can be added at the end of the lounge, creating a semi-circle zone for conversation. This setup provides a cosy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and spending time with friends and family.
Finished with Throw Pillows
While neutral tones are often used to create a calming and harmonious atmosphere, incorporating bold colors through decorative pillows can add visual interest and inject a much-needed dose of vibrancy to your sofa. This is especially important when you are dealing with a sectional sofa, as it can help to break up the monotony and prevent the room from feeling dull or lifeless. While incorporating pillows, make sure the bold colors you choose go together and do not clash with anything else in the room.
Pair the Corner Lounge with Right Coffee Table
To make your space feel balanced, choose a coffee table that pairs perfectly with the corner lounge. Height, width, and visual weight are all important factors to consider when purchasing a coffee table. It's recommended to maintain a distance of 14-18 inches between the sofa and the coffee table. If you have a corner lounge, make sure the coffee table is placed in such a way that it doesn't extend beyond the arm of the sofa on either end. If either side of the coffee table protrudes from the sofa, it can throw off the room's balance and take up valuable floor space.
Incorporate Lighting
A lighting feature on the other side of your corner lounge will frame the look and help you create an inviting lighting scheme. Consider opting for bold designs with sculptural shapes, unique textures, or colored glass to make a style statement even when the light is turned off. You can also opt for a lamp as an art piece or sculpture that adds a design-led finishing touch to your living room décor.
A floor lamp can also add height to your living room, and warm bulbs can create a cosy atmosphere. If your sofa is neutral in color, you can invest in a brightly colored lampshade to add a pop of color to your space.
The Bottom Line
After a long day at work, there's nothing quite like sinking into a cosy L-shaped corner sofa, savoring your favorite beverage, and listening to some soothing tunes in the background. You can even curl up with a good book or enjoy a board game with your loved ones on this super comfortable couch. We hope that our article has inspired you to create a living space that truly reflects your personal style and offers a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.
