Corners without a sleeping function

L-shaped sofas, or simply corner sofas, are a key feature of the living room in many homes. However, choosing a version without a sleeping function, apart from the obvious disadvantage of their name, has many advantages.

It turns out that the main disadvantage of this type of furniture... is also its biggest advantage. The lack of a sleeping function in the case of a living room sofa means that its construction can be simpler. This is due to the absence of the mechanisms necessary to unfold it. In addition, this type of sofa can have a lighter construction, allowing you to achieve the minimalist and modern 'look' of such a piece of furniture.

To sum up: if you do not plan to have extra space in your living room to accommodate guests and at the same time appreciate modern, minimalist design - corner sofas without a sleeping function can be a hit.

The lack of a double function means that our corner sofa can be placed not only in the corner (which is the most obvious solution for L-shaped sofas, but also in the middle of the living room. Such a solution, of course, requires more space (it is always advisable to leave at least 80-90 cm of free space around the furniture), but on the other hand it allows us to separate a relaxation area in the living room. Such a corner can be supplemented with low side tables or one longer table placed along the longer side of the sofa.

When arranging a living room with the use of a corner sofa, remember the general rule of interior design - the size of the furniture should be selected so as not to overwhelm the surroundings. Therefore, beware of large furniture in relatively small rooms.

When choosing a corner sofa without a reclining option, it is worth taking advantage of their main asset, which we mentioned in the introduction - that is, opt for a minimalist model. Modern-style sofas go well with both pre-war interiors, contrasting with antique wooden floors and door joinery, as well as contemporary living rooms, fitting in with the loft style. Do you want this piece of furniture to be the main stylistic accent in your living room? Opt for velour, which will bring an elegant touch to the room thanks to its shine. You can achieve the same effect with natural leather.

A recommended choice are also corner sofas on legs. They give the furniture a lighter appearance. The second, more... mundane advantage is that you can easily vacuum the floor underneath.
