The sofa is semicircular

The non-standard form of furniture always attracts our attention, be it in the furniture salon or a component of the interior in a living room. So, recently, a semi-circular sofa that adorns the living room has become a real trend in the trendy interior.

Adding to the interior a new non-traditional form of furniture, it is difficult not to disturb the overall harmony of the situation in the room. It requires creativity and the ability to properly solve the problem of placing unusual lines.

Only designers with a lot of experience could easily cope with it, so you should listen to some of their recommendations. Following them, you will not only be able to correctly place the semicircular furniture, but also to transform the entire room - it will look elegant and unique.

If the whole room is furnished with furniture only with straight lines and corners, even a single module with smooth transitions in the lines cannot fit into the overall harmony and will become a bright spot on the general background.

But such a problem will not arise if the interior is complemented by several accessories that have radius contours.

The accent in this case can also be a picture hanging on the wall, an oval-shaped mirror, and even a lamp. For example, beautiful round ceiling lamps on the chandelier will perfectly fit into the interior.

Ordinary, but properly arranged furniture, for example, a pair of chairs, can help in this situation. Together with a semicircular sofa, they can become one recreation area if they are placed on both sides of the sofa, thus defeating the compositional center in the room.

With the help of a semicircular sofa in the living room, you can plan a kind of separation element that would separate the rest area from the rest of the room.

The compositional center in this case remains opposite and somewhat distant from the sofa. If this is a classic retro interior, the place of the semi-circular sofa will, of course, be by the fireplace, and for the urban style, the television zone is the right choice.

For the living room corner sofas are traditional upholstered furniture. Modern apartments can often be irregularly shaped and have curved walls. In such rooms, an unconventional form of furniture would be just the way.

But on its arrangement it is necessary to think well, because there may be several options. The curved wall along which the curved furniture is placed is the first thing that comes to mind. It is obvious that this option has the right to exist.

But you can install a semicircular sofa from the opposite corner, and then the outlines of the room will become visually oval. In this case, an empty closed corner will become a place, for example, for a floor lamp or a high stand with indoor plants.

In addition, the semicircular sofas may differ significantly in their dimensions, they are also different in design - to consist of modules or to be non-separable.

Usually non-collapsible design - the product is bulky and heavy. These are usually installed in a room with a large area. Single-ply sofa semicircular shape is performed most often in the Victorian, Empire, classical, modern style or Provence.

This furniture belongs to the elite.In its production materials of the highest quality are used, respectively, this furniture is very expensive and is included in the interiors, which are not designed to be replaced with new ones often.

If we talk about a modular semi-circular couch, then he has a number of advantages over the non-collapsible. Such furniture can be bought in parts, at one time without making costs too tangible for the family budget. So it is best to act if you want to buy furniture of really high quality, without indulging in it only because of its high cost.

Due to the high variability in the design solutions of sofas, the placement of objects in the room can be planned quite freely. If this is necessary, you can purchase several additional modules, for example, armrests or ottomans, and then the furniture will begin to look completely new.

Although the sofa or couch in the kitchen is called small-sized, but for such, as a rule, a small room they are as full-sized as a product for a living room or bedroom. This is especially true of a semicircular sofa in the kitchen - it will take up too much space.But for other rooms such a sofa may be the most suitable of all types of bedroom furniture.

In a modern apartment today, it is often possible to find the so-called bay window, that is, a dismantled exit leading to a loggia or balcony.

Those mechanisms by which the rectangular structure is laid out are not suitable for a semicircular or cannot be applied at all. For this reason, the transformation from a sitting place to a sleeping room for sofas of a semicircular shape occurs according to the methods characteristic of such a form. As the most common method, use the exit design, which uses a folding or lifting mattress.

The transformation technique is a rolling out of the base of the bearing surface, for which rubberized rollers and special guides are used.After that, the sofa seat, which is an orthopedic mattress, can be opened in the form of a book and placed on this surface.

As one of the transformation options, only one berth can be put forward, where one person can rest comfortably. If you need a double version, then from both sides you can attach puffs in the form of soft elements that are included in the kit.

The disadvantages of this design include:

• the sleeping surface is too low;
• there is a danger that the floor covering may be damaged;
• no room for linen compartment.

Another method of transforming a semicircular sofa is to participate in this backrest process. In this case, the podium also rolls out, after which the back of the sofa, which is able to tip over using the hinges attached to the edges of the arc, is laid on it.

The sleeping surface in this case represents the reverse side of the backrest and seat. The advantage of this mechanism is that there is a drawer for bed linen in the sliding niche.

The disadvantages here are the fact that the swivel loops that connect the seat with the backrest are not reliable enough.When transforming the sofa load on them will be quite large, but because the mechanism can quickly wear out.

The most simple and reliable are modular designs. In this case, two triangular sections or a round pouf, the radius of which corresponds to the inner curvature of the semicircle of the sofa, are joined.

This method also involves the transformation of the back - it is placed behind the added sections, getting a ring. The reliability of this method is accompanied by a lot of flaws:

• constantly have to drag quite heavy modules, which can cause serious damage to the flooring. In addition, this will have to make a lot of effort;
• if the sofa is transformed without the back, compressing the elements into the ring and fixing them, then the front side should be equipped with loops-clamps;
• even if the loops are disguised as decorative elements, then with constant use their surface will be scratched and the original gloss in the general form of the sofa will be gone.

So far, the developers have not been able to create a simple, reliable and easy-to-use method with which one could turn a semicircular sofa into a full-fledged sleeping place.

But the desire to strive for the uniqueness of the design, but on the condition that the apartment has a small area makes one forget about many inconveniences. Most often, the most eccentric young people resort to such items in furniture. Such a room will look like a living room-studio, but will not lose the functionality of the bedroom.

The developers of the semicircular sofas have been studied the wishes of customers, as a result of which the production of furniture with bright non-standard upholstery was established. The “beastly” theme turned out to be the most popular - with tigers, leopards and zebras in coloring. Bright flowers, modern synthetic fabrics, and also leather substitutes are no less popular.

If we talk about the shortcomings of sofas with a rounded contour, then, first of all, the bulkiness of the decomposed product. If the area of ​​the room is small or the room is narrow, such furniture cannot be accommodated in it. It will not be easy to pick up bed linen for sleeping, therefore, most likely, the round shape of accessories will need to be sewn to order.

A round bed is an ideal bed, as psychologists and Feng Shui practitioners believe.But a round orthopedic mattress is a problem. You will also have to sew it by individual order, and then solve the problem of its storage.

In the event that a semicircular sofa is purchased for its permanent use as a bed, you should not save on size.
