The curved shape of the sofa does not prevent him from being solid, monolithic, to fit perfectly into the interior. This model has a fixed size largest radius.

Modular furniture consists of sectors - modules. This is very convenient if the "fullness" of the room does not suit you - you can remove or, on the contrary, add a "cube", achieving the desired result. The shape of such sofas can be convex or concave.

The third option is the so-called transformer, in the case of which you can get the result “two in one”: in the afternoon your sofa will please the guests at the round table, and in the evening it will turn into a cozy bed for sleeping. This is achieved through three types of mechanism:

  • roll-out mechanism - one of the most convenient. You can simply roll out the base of the sofa from under its stationary part, without spending much physical effort;
  • half mechanism - the ability to connect mobile halves to get a bed;
  • folding mechanism - thanks to the folding backrest, the sleeping place is the most comfortable, the joints are almost imperceptible.

The next stage is the filler. In today's furniture market, polyurethane foam, sintepon, holofiber, springs are offered.

  • Sponge-like polyurethane foam - one of the most popular. It is durable, reliable, does not collect dust, and does not cause allergies.
  • The synthetic winterizer is the most inexpensive filler, moisture resistant, but can lump up.
  • Holofiber is durable, flexible, does not cause allergies, does not absorb odors and does not roll.
  • Springs - one of the most durable fillers. Withstand heavy loads, do not create bumps on the surface. According to reviews of doctors, this option is very useful for health.

Today, any buyer can give free rein to their imagination about the upholstery of radius furniture. You can choose textiles, leather and imitation leather of any color and texture. But, in any case, it is necessary to calculate all the details.

If your semicircular sofa is located in the kitchen area, it is better to choose upholstery made of flock fabric - its special impregnation will save your furniture from stains. For pet owners, this is an ideal option, because flocky fabric belongs to the category of anti-vandal fabrics.There is an option and Teflon impregnation: inadvertently spilled liquid on such a sofa simply drains from the furniture, and does not get inside.

Choose size

When choosing a semicircular sofa, you must take into account all the parameters of your home and the number of people who will be there. The number of modules of your furniture depends on these figures. If the room where the radial sofa will be located is less than 25 square meters, it is better not to buy dimensional furniture. In a small room, it will look cumbersome and hamper freedom of movement.

In the case of the decision to buy a large stylish semi-circular sofa, you need to understand that it becomes the main focus of a spacious living room or another rather big room. The number of seats in this case should be at least 5 - 6.The sofa should not block access to cabinets or passage to another room, so as not to create the effect of clutter.

The ideal option for the location of the sofa in a semicircle are rooms with a bay window or with a projecting part of the building. The window space of the bay window visually expands the room into which the radius furniture fits perfectly. It does not matter, the living room, bedroom or kitchen area.

Choosing a semicircular sofa in the bay window, you can not worry about the fact that the furniture will clutter it. On the contrary, upholstered in leather or expensive textile material, with unusual pillows as an additional design, an overall sofa of more than 3 meters in size will emphasize the purpose of this room. Models - transformers of large size will be able to reincarnate in an exclusive bedroom, if necessary.

Small sofas in the bulk bay are non-functional and are unlikely to fully emphasize its features. Is that the size of the protruding part of the room is small. Then, if necessary, increase the number of seats, you can use the ottomans or "cubes" of the module.

Some buyers believethat it is not easy to choose a sofa with an exact coincidence of the radiality under the semicircular bay window, but with today's design possibilities and technologies for the production of furniture, everything depends on your wishes.
