A corner sofa is the most popular type of sofa in the Netherlands and Belgium, and for good reason. It offers the most seating space of all sofa types, makes optimal use of the corner of the living room, and creates a clear, inviting seating area that gives the living room structure and clarity. At MooierThuis, you'll find corner sofas in all sizes, styles, and materials, from compact and minimalist to large and spacious. For every living room and every family.
Left or right: which configuration suits your living room?
One of the first choices when buying a corner sofa is the direction of the long section. With a left-hand corner sofa, the long section is on the left when you stand directly in front of the sofa. With a right-hand corner sofa, the long section is on the right. Which variant fits best depends entirely on the layout of your living room.
Determine the direction by looking at the position of doors, windows, and the television. The long section of the corner sofa is most comfortable on the side that leaves the most walking space and provides the best viewing angle to the television. Always measure the space accurately before ordering. Also, consider the depth of the sofa when determining the walking space around it. A clear walking space of at least 80 to 90 cm around the sofa is recommended for comfortable passage.
With or without a chaise longue: what's the difference?
Most corner sofas have a chaise longue, the extended section where you can stretch your legs. This is the big comfort advantage of a corner sofa over a straight sofa. You can lie down on it, which makes the sofa ideal for relaxing and watching television.
Some corner sofas have a chaise longue at both ends for maximum lounging space. Other models have a more compact chaise longue that protrudes less and thus fits better in a smaller living room. When choosing, always consider the total length of the chaise longue relative to the available space. This measurement is always clearly stated in the product specifications on MooierThuis.
Styles and materials: the right corner sofa for every living room
Corner sofas come in a wide variety of styles and upholstery. A fabric corner sofa is the most versatile choice. Comfortable, breathable, and available in countless colors from light grey and beige to dark green and anthracite. A velvet corner sofa gives the living room a luxurious, atmospheric look that immediately stands out. A bouclé or teddy corner sofa is warm, inviting, and the trendiest choice right now. And a faux leather corner sofa is the easiest to maintain, ideal for families with young children or pets.
Combine the corner sofa with a matching rug under and in front of the sofa to visually define the seating area and give the living room a warm, layered look.
Choosing the right size corner sofa
The size of the corner sofa is crucial for the proportions in the living room. A sofa that is too large overwhelms the space. A sofa that is too small gets lost in it. A few practical guidelines:
Minimum room dimensions: for comfortable placement of a corner sofa, you generally need a living room width of at least 3.5 to 4 meters. Smaller living rooms are better off with a compact two-seater sofa or a lounge sofa.
Walking space: maintain at least 80 to 90 cm of free space between the sofa and the coffee table and between the sofa and other furniture or the wall.
Chaise longue length: the chaise longue typically extends 150 to 200 cm. Always measure the available space on the chaise longue side before ordering.
Total sofa width: corner sofas range from approximately 220 cm to more than 300 cm in total width. Note the dimensions of the shortest and longest sides separately and compare them with the available wall length in your living room.
Corner sofa with sleeping function: practical and smart
A corner sofa with a sleeping function is a smart choice for those who want to combine guest accommodation with the living room. The fold-out system is hidden in the sofa and can be converted into an extra guest bed in a few simple steps. This is ideal for smaller homes or for people who regularly host guests without having a separate guest room. When choosing, pay attention to the quality of the fold-out mechanism and the thickness of the guest mattress for a comfortable night's sleep for your guests.
Corner sofa with storage space: smart use of every centimeter
Many corner sofas are equipped with storage space under the seat. This is particularly practical for storing extra blankets, pillows, toys, or other items you want to keep at hand but not permanently visible. Choose a model with easily accessible and spacious storage if practical use is a priority. Combine the storage in the sofa with atmospheric decorative pillows on the seat for a complete and inviting look.
Styling the corner sofa: how to make the most of your seating area
A well-styled corner sofa immediately makes the living room more complete and personal. Add decorative pillows in various sizes and textures for color and comfort. Drape a soft throw over the armrest or chaise longue for a cozy, homely touch. Choose a coffee table that matches the size of the corner sofa. A coffee table that is too small gets lost in front of a large corner sofa. A table that is too large makes the seating area impractical. As a guideline, the coffee table should be no more than two-thirds of the length of the longest side of the sofa.

Frequently asked questions about corner sofas
How do I determine if I need a left-hand or right-hand corner sofa?
Stand directly in front of where the sofa will be placed and look at the layout of the space. Should the long section be on your left? Then choose a left-hand corner sofa. On your right? Then choose a right-hand corner sofa. Consider the position of the television, doors, and windows, and ensure that the long section leaves the most walking space free.
What minimum room dimensions do I need for a corner sofa?
For comfortable placement of a corner sofa, you generally need a living room width of at least 3.5 to 4 meters. Smaller living rooms are better off with a compact three-seater sofa. Always measure both sides of the corner sofa and compare them with the available wall length in your living room. Also, take into account the walking space around the sofa.
Can I also place a corner sofa in an open living space without a wall?
Yes, you can. In an open living space, the corner sofa is often placed free-standing, without its back against a wall. This works well if the back of the sofa is neatly finished. Always check the product description to see if the back of the sofa is finished, as not all models are suitable for a free-standing arrangement. Add a console table behind the sofa for an extra surface and a visual separation in the room.
Is a corner sofa with storage practical for everyday use?
Yes, absolutely. A corner sofa with storage space under the seat is particularly practical for storing blankets, pillows, toys, or other items you want to have at hand. Most models have a flip-top lid system where the seat lifts for access to the storage space. Check the depth and accessibility of the storage space in the product specifications before ordering.
How do I maintain a bouclé corner sofa?
Regularly remove dust and crumbs with a soft clothes brush. Treat stains immediately by gently dabbing them with a dry, clean cloth. Never rub a stain, as this will damage the looped structure of the bouclé. For stubborn stains, use a mild stain remover suitable for delicate fabrics. Remove any pilling with a fabric shaver for a fresh and neat appearance.
