Many people think that corner models are too big and bulky, but they are not. In fact, such products can save space. For example, an L-shaped sofa can fill in the empty corners. You can use both a compact and a large copy.

Not to mention the spaciousness of furniture with angular designs. Even on a small sofa of this form, five people can easily fit in and everyone will be very comfortable.

Beautiful models are also practical. They may contain various additions in the form of spacious linen drawers, bookshelves, built-in armrests, a small bar and even a safe with a combination lock.

On sale you can meet a huge number of corner sofas with a variety of systems, from the usual "French folding bed" to the modern eurobook. You can choose the right option for both rare and daily use.

Such pieces of furniture are especially relevant if the living area of ​​an apartment or house does not allow for a more spacious sleeping space.

Corner sofas can be L-shaped and U-shaped:

• The most simple and popular models are L-shaped. They are small and look great in both spacious and small rooms. In the furniture store, you can find a larger version, which is a real designer, in which the parts can be swapped at their discretion.For example, outwardly they may look like a simple linear sofa with a separate bedside table or ottoman. Often the latter in such cases is used as a small bed.
• Angular sofas are U-shaped modular. Such models look great in rooms of medium and large area. As a rule, such furniture becomes the “heart” of the room, its bright accent. These sofas are equipped with folding mechanisms, and they can be used as an extra bed. If the living space allows you to choose a large U-shaped sofa with an angular design, then with it you can create a luxurious interior. Often, such furniture is placed in the center of the living room, placing the rest of the items around it. Sometimes there are several functional details in the U-shaped sofas, from linen drawers to a small bar.

Today, models of corner sofas that have folding or sliding mechanisms that easily turn them into a spacious berth are in great demand:

• Eurobook is a popular system. It is an improved version of a regular book.In use, sofas with these mechanisms are very comfortable and simple. Even a fragile girl or child can decompose such a model. “Eurobooks” are transformed by pushing the seat forward and lowering the backrest into the vacated space. It is recommended to choose models in which the lower part is equipped with wheels. These details are necessary in order that with time on the floor from the moving-out part there are no ugly traces.

• Another common mechanism for corner sofas is the “pantograph”. This system is a modified "eurobook". It does not harm the flooring. In such structures, additional springs complete with a mechanism are attached to the metal frame. They allow you to transform a sofa into a sleeping place with the help of a kind of “short steps” along the arc. Because of this, this mechanism has received another well-known name - “walking” or “tick-tac”.

• Not so long ago, folding sofas with a system called "dolphin" appeared on the market of upholstered furniture.. The transformation of such models is carried out by extending the box with the mechanism and raising the bed. Today, these options are popular because they are very easy and fast to decompose. Additional drawers for storing linen in these systems are provided only for the corner segment.

• Not to mention the sofas with the system "accordion". They are laid out literally in one movement, but they also have their drawbacks. Transformation of the "accordion" is heavy, because for this it is necessary to pull half of the sofa over yourself, making some effort. It is impossible to install a convenient spring block or an orthopedic mattress on the frames in these mechanisms.

• The mechanism is less popular today. "Sedafleks" in sofas with an angular design. This is explained by the fact that it cannot be used for regular operation. Such furniture can be used solely as a simple guest bed to accommodate overnight guests.Another name for “sedaflex” is “French clamshell”. To transform this mechanism, it is necessary to remove the upper pillows, pull it by the special handle located on the frontal part and set it horizontally. Then you need to deploy the upper sections on the support legs.

Corner sofas are often placed in the kitchen. Models with light-colored textile upholstery are not recommended to buy for such rooms, as they will quickly become unusable. If you still purchased furniture with fabric decoration, it is better to buy covers for it.

Externally, these pieces of furniture look expensive and beautiful, and their surface is easily cleaned from stains and does not absorb foreign odors. If you have purchased a more affordable option, upholstered with kozhzam, then it is also recommended to protect the covers, because such material is less wear-resistant.

Such upholstered furniture in the interior of the kitchen can be a great way to separate the dining area from the cooking area. To do this, you can choose a model of bright or contrasting colors.

• The most common is the placement of a corner sofa. near one of the walls. So you can free up enough space in the center of the room.
• Not so long ago in our country it was not accepted to place such furniture. near the window, but today this solution has become very popular. The window in any case will not be able to arrange large-sized furniture, and an angular sofa with a low back will not close the window opening and will not interfere with the natural lighting of the room.

• If we are talking about a studio apartment, then in it upholstered furniture with an angular design is most often placed near the wall or behind the kitchen area. Thus, sofas become not only comfortable seats, but also dividers of the living and dining areas.
