L shape sofas save space

Contrary to what many think, L shape sofas actually save space in your living room. That’s because the convenient shape conforms to the corners in your wall. This leaves more floor space for other furniture and creates a sense of roominess. L shape sofas can also be used as room dividers to create a sense of two rooms in one.

How to style an L shape sofa

An L shape sofa gives you lots of styling options. The key is matching your choices to the rest of your living room’s decor. Try decorating the sofa with a mix of small and large cushions. Three to six is a good number, since L shape sofas often look better with lots of cushions. In general, you want to concentrate them around the sofa’s focal points – its left side, its right side, and its corner. Add a rug and possibly a coffee table to complete the look. You can also add a chair or two, though this is less necessary for L shape sofas. That’s because these sofas already let people face each other easily, so even without chairs you’re ready to go.

How to arrange an L shaped sofa in your living room

L shape sofas have two primary uses. The main one is to create a cosy sitting space in the corner. Another option, though, is to use an L shaped sofa to divide a large space. By placing it at the midpoint of a large room, the sofa serves as a border between spaces. This can help create a relaxing hideaway with cushions and chairs where you can gather with friends.

How to put cushions on an L shaped sofa

Cushions add style and comfort to your sofa. You can use them to pair or contrast colours, or to break up solid tones with patterns. When it comes to deciding how many cushions to use, try multiples of three. This lets you organise the cushions around the sofa’s three focal points: the two sides and the corner. In the end, the exact number of cushions will depend on the size of the sofa you choose.
