To optimally use the "precious" meters of small rooms, many interior designers advise paying attention to the corner sofas. But not the huge constructions that can be seen in the advertising booklets, but small cozy sofas with soft lines of construction.
Corner sofas for small apartments
What is the advantage of small corner sofas in front of conventional soft furniture? First of all, the fact that the design features of the corner sofas allow you to replace several objects at once, and the possibility of angular arrangement absorbs the so-called blind zones in the room, saving space. So, for example, a small corner sofa in the living room can be both a place for sitting and a place for sleeping, a place for storing things, a coffee table or even a miniature bar counter. Everything will depend on the chosen sofa model. One more nuance. Even if you have one room at your disposal, then the corner sofa can be successfully used as an element of space zoning . For example, to separate the working or dining area and rest area.
