Modern corner sofas: varieties and choices

Modern corner sofas can challenge the traditional direct counterparts. But it is very important to know all the subtleties and nuances of their device, all the main varieties. After all, the only way to make the right choice and eliminate all kinds of mistakes.

To begin the discussion of the topic follows from the fact that modern corner sofas are much more stylish and attractive than traditional upholstered furniture with a direct body. They have been actively dismantled by consumers over the past 10 years. Corner sofa is mainly used in medium and large rooms.

Similar designs are made in retro style or in an ultramodern manner - "Modernity" necessarily refers only to the internal filling and production features, and not to the appearance.

The advantages of angular construction are:

• convenience during the day and night;
• the ability to fill corners not used otherwise
• quite a large number of seats;
• comfort and practicality;
• suitability for zoning of rooms.

Among the shortcomings can be noted:

• frequent inconvenience associated with the stiffness of the back (but some models allow you to fully relax during the day);
• a relatively high price (if we talk about quality-perfect models);
• transportation difficulties.

Corner sofa can be stationary (in the form of a "monolith"). But such a solution is not too common.It implies the use of two blocks that are rigidly interconnected. Sometimes bolts are screwed into special holes directly at the factory.

Another subspecies of the "monolith" is assembled using plates attached to the sidewalls. Different plates play the role of staples and hooks clinging to them. Assembly and disassembly of the structure is relatively easy if you have enough strength to lift the parts of the sofa and hold them. If this does not work, loosening the bolts is sometimes even easier. In terms of reliability and stability, the two types of assembly hardly differ.

But much more common modular corner sofas. They often have 3 or more components. Only one or two of them are on the corner, while the others are placed directly. By shuffling the modules, furniture owners can achieve a completely non-standard appearance. The problems are also obvious: due to the large number of joints, sitting is not too comfortable, and the appearance can be slightly worse.

Look more attractive transformers designs. They usually do not have that many blocks, and shape change is achieved using internal mechanisms. But the value in the open and folded form can vary significantly. As for the form, the vast majority of corner sofas resemble the letter “G” (or Latin “L”). Somewhat more difficult to find designs, both segments of which are the same in length.

Some models are more like the letter "P". But such a solution is mainly appropriate in large rooms that need to be clearly zoned. Usually they try to pick up furniture with an elongated middle and shortened side parts. It will allow you to create a separate corner for leisure in a large guest room. It is also important to take into account the difference in the mechanisms of transformation.

Various manufacturers of corner sofas can use the devices:

• Eurobook;
• "book";
• "dolphin";
• "Accordion" (other options are much less common).

Seats and soft zones of corner sofas can be equipped with various fillers. Their choice is clearly determined by the price of the product. Inside the pillows there is usually a crushed polyurethane foam or synthetic winterizer. The second option is somewhat cheaper. But foam rubber should be strictly avoided - it is used only in the most waste segment of furniture.

The sofas for children are very often used hollofiber. It is hygroscopic and has attractive hygienic properties. Consumers also appreciate the synthetic padding, which is excellent in spring and easily retains heat. But you can meet him mainly inside the backs and armrests. The best option for the main part of the sofa, many experts consider Durafil and springy blocks.

The difference may be due to the material of the frame. Purely wooden models are expensive and fit well into classic interiors. The comfort and coziness of such furniture was noted. You can save a little if you choose a frame not from oak or beech, but from pine. The cheapest sofas are often made on a plywood frame.

Steel - galvanized or stainless - is highly regarded for its mechanical strength. But in its pure form, the steel frame is used only in fixed furniture. As for the upholstery of the corner sofa, it is selected according to the operating conditions and the aesthetics of the room. Beautifully looking velvet and tapestry gradually go out of circulation. Flock, scotchguard, arpatek and chenille are more popular (it is especially recommended for children's models).

Most often in the late 2010s sofas are painted in plain warm tones. At the peak of popularity sand and beige colors. The “cold fog” upholstery helps to stand out. Maintenance of pure white soft furniture is difficult.

When the room is overly bright, you should choose dark sofa. It will visually “cool” the space.

He will be the most faithful guide in any case. Quite popular this season yet green color.

Do not buy once again the most expensive models of sofas. But the cheapest designs are unlikely to justify the money invested. Moderately expensive furniture is almost always optimal. Usually used at home transformation mechanisms “book” and “eurobook”. More complex devices are chosen when they clearly understand why they are needed and what are the advantages.

If it is very difficult to choose the right filler from a variety of options, you can choose either polyurethane foam or spring blocks. Additionally take into account:

• the size of the berth and seat;
• the amount of free passes;
• the need for a linen box;
• the need for armrests.

The photo shows a simple corner sofa in a modern style. Its attractiveness is emphasized by the adjacent glass table. Discreet colors look quite good. It turns out to be logical and the side cabinet adjacent to it. The combination of a light sofa and a dark floor is chic.

Sofas in a modern living room can be in dark colors. In this case, they are arranged around a central table and a dark gray carpet. The pure white floor creates an expressive contrast. The fireplace in the background helps to emphasize the quality factor and solidity of the designer's ideas. The combination with other decorative elements of the room also looks good.
