Calligaris Fabric Corner Sofas

A corner sofa can provide generous seating and help define the living area within an open-plan room, but getting the configuration right matters more than simply choosing the largest arrangement that fits on a floor plan.

Plan the sofa around the whole room

Start with the position of doors, windows, television and other furniture, then consider the routes people naturally take through the space. A corner group needs enough room around it to feel comfortable rather than becoming a barrier between different parts of the room.

Think about how the household actually uses the seating too. The right configuration depends on where people prefer to sit, how many seats are regularly needed and how the sofa relates to occasional tables and the rest of the living area.

Compare the footprint before deciding

If a full corner group takes over the room, compare a Calligaris chaise sofa or a straight fabric sofa. The wider Calligaris fabric and finish palette can still help connect the living area with dining chairs, stools and occasional furniture elsewhere in an open-plan space.
