Large corner sofas

Nothing will create a home-like atmosphere like upholstered furniture and its main favorite is the sofa. He is in every home, regardless of the dimensions of the home, and often indicates the status of the owners of the house. The vast wealth of choice is difficult to understand, but the favorites of the models today are large corner sofas. They noticeably stand out against the background of analogs, have a number of differences and advantages.

Special features

Large corner sofas - a line of special models, the main difference of which are the spacious dimensions and the presence of a corner element. Models are made on a frame basis, depending on the shape and transformation mechanism have their own characteristics. Their purpose is to create an accent zone of the room, if necessary, allowing to turn the sofa into a bed. For the most part, it is furniture for rest, but if the occasion requires, the sofa is transformed into a bed.

Corner - the main advantage of large sofas.Due to it, the design does not look cumbersome, the sofa fits perfectly into any type of room and becomes quite appropriate even in the interior of a small apartment. The corner element saves the useful space of the room: in most models, the sofa is located as close as possible to the wall and often does not need additional space for ease of transformation.

The main line of corner sofas consists of models with a universal angle, which, if desired, can be changed from one side of the straight base of the sofa to the other. It is convenient and allows you to enter the sofa in any room, not paying attention to the side of the corner.

Corner elements are divided into two types:

  • classic, connected to the main (straight) part on the frame;
  • modular, which are individual components.

Both varieties are unique. In fact, they are a combination of a straight sofa and a comfortable chair. In island models, a sofa can consist of chairs made up together, and in the model there can be not one, but two corners (on two sides). Some designs are an angle with identical sides.These are universal models which intend for spacious types of rooms.

Corner sofas of large sizes are not only comfortable, like most of these models: they are comfortable. In contrast to the compact and mini sofa, such dimensions provide the most relaxing atmosphere and comfort. Place on a spacious sofa can be from 3 to 6 people, which is especially important for evening relaxation at the TV screen or family gatherings for a board game.

In the line of large sofas there are always options on which you can sleep at night not only along, but also across. And depending on the model, the surface of the bed can be different: soft, medium-hard or optimally hard. Some designs are made with a filling of orthopedic material, so apart from comfort, resting on them is good for health.

Nice design and decor

In most cases, modern sofas look presentable, which allows you to make the interior premium shades, highlighting the subtle taste of the owners of the home. Manufacturers use a lot of upholstery materials, thanks to which even low-end models look worthy of purchase and at the same time allow you to fit into the planned budget for the purchase.

An additional advantage of many models is the possibility of packaging in stylish eurocovers. Due to this, you can save upholstery material just bought a sofa from mechanical damage and abrasion. Elastic capes of rubberized material contribute to the renewal of old furniture, thereby prolonging its life. And in this design there is another plus: thanks to such a disguise, it is possible to combine furniture that is scattered by design into a single set (for example, a sofa with armchairs).

Versatility in style

Corner sofas of large sizes are able to become an interior decoration, unobtrusively pointing to the idea of ​​design: they can be an independent accent of the chosen style or its tint harmoniously connecting individual interior items. Due to the well-chosen model with the presence or absence of additional functionality, special structure of the structure, form of elements, they can fit into almost any style of the room, from minimalism and modern to the empire, neo-baroque, Arabic themes and glamor.

The rich model range differing in the sizes

The variety of forms of the models and their dimensional features allow you to choose the most suitable option that fits well into the design of the room, it will not be an incomprehensible stain on the background of existing furniture and will not make installation (rearrangement) difficult. Moreover, due to the variability of sizes, the choice can be made taking into account any exacting preferences for which every centimeter of useful area matters.

Rich color palette

Thanks to the game of tones and the coloring of corner sofas of large sizes, you can choose any model that does not look cumbersome, creating a visual effect of cluttering up the room. The modern approach to the color and pattern of upholstery allows you to bring a maximum of light into the room or shade it, if it is flooded with the sun, to create the illusion of space.

The simplicity of the mechanism

The corner element of the sofa is an integral part of the bed. The transformation of furniture consists in folding the straight part, which together with the corner section forms a sleeping area. This applies to all mechanisms, whether roll-out, folding or turning the transformation method.

In most models, folding and assembling a corner sofa does not take more than 10 - 15 seconds. Moreover, the system is thought out carefully, so the user does not have to make efforts to implement the transformation.

Corner constructions are laid out easily: not only an adult, but also a teenager can do it.

Reliability and safety of transformation systems

Basically, the linear range of large corner sofas is equipped with simple mechanisms that, for any work, cannot hurt the user. Even if they fail, the metal (tree) can not harm a person. Typically, the diameter of steel parts is 1.5 cm or more, so the legs of the system are reliable and durable, do not bend, do not break.

Corner models are suitable as a country, guest and daily furniture option. The transformation mechanism is convenient, diverse and designed for long-term use, it can roll out due to the rollers, rise and fall on the floor, have additional supports for fixing or not have legs at all.

Multifunctionality

Corner sofas of large sizes is not just the organization of a berth.The main part of the line is designed in such a way that the models combine several qualities in themselves, turning into a universal version of transformer furniture. At night it is a spacious bed, in the afternoon - a comfortable sofa, if necessary a guest area, if there are children in the house - a place to play.

In rare cases (depending on the rigidity of the base), these sofas can become a comfortable workplace: if they are equipped with a stiff back, you can work with a laptop, write, study valuable information.

Many corner elements, without infringing on their direct destination, are equipped with additional organizers, which is convenient and allows you to use the working space to the maximum. Pleases the presence of mini-tables, bars, shelves for books and storage of various items located in the sidewalls.

Location in the house

The feature of the structure of the sofa and the presence of the angle allows you to put the corner structures literally in any room of the house. In most cases, the furniture can be installed in a small living room, nursery, spacious kitchen or a chic loggia (up to 12 m).

The uniqueness of the models lies in the fact that the sofa can be located not only against the wall.Such models look good in spacious studio apartments, distinguishing between dining and guest areas.

In addition, large corner sofas are simply created for spacious bay windows, which are a separate ledge in the room. Moreover, to harmonize the style of furniture, it is not necessary to fill the bay window space symmetrically. And if you wish, you can always change the angle to the other side, if this corresponds to the design.

Existence of spacious linen boxes

In some models of large corner sofas in addition to the main drawer, located under the seat, there is a fairly spacious box at the bottom of the corner element. It can be single or double, resembling a kind of cabinet with two niches. The space of the drawers allows you to place in them the pastel accessories and other things that are stored in the cabinet. Thereby saving space for other things.

Wide range of prices

The cost consists of the complexity of the form, price and volume of components, upholstery material, additional functionality. The range of prices allows you to choose the option that suits the buyer, while in harmony with the existing furniture, different convenient system of transformation and durability of the design.

Minuses

With a lot of advantages, corner sofas of large sizes have several drawbacks. They:

  • They require care not only about the surface of the upholstery material.: such sofas need cleaning, lubrication of the mechanism of transformation and cleaning under the sofa of any foreign objects up to the pile carpet (malfunction of the wheels and the possibility of breakage);
  • Can shake quicklyif the transformation mechanism exerts a large load on the sofa frame, which leads to a change in the gap between the corner element and the straight base to a considerable gap;
  • Due to the large parts are not always mobile in transportationthat complicates the assembly of furniture in the premises of small apartments, eliminates the delivery of partially assembled;
  • Not always durable and practical: the load on the bed of such models increases with the number of people, and the frame base is designed for two users (maximum of young parents with a small child), and the main pressure of the body falls on the filler, which fails when exceeding the maximum allowable maximum, forming unsightly holes;
  • Have gaps between connecting details: an angle and a straight part (for particularly sensitive users, this is an obstacle to buying a folding sofa, since you have to buy a topper that flattens the surface of the sleeping bed).

Folding systems

The transformation of a large corner sofa into a bed and the reassembly determine the name of the sofa. Even if we take into account that the manufacturer gives his own, quite loud names for each model, what kind of model it is, it becomes clear thanks to the transformation system.

Systems folding and assembly of models rarely differ from the classic straight and standard small models. Transforming, the two parts of the sofa are combined into a single rectangular seating area. Vykatny mechanisms are compact and move forward, sliding systems form a single berth by connecting all the blocks, if you start the transformation of one of them. Some models of sofas have three addition block.

Modular can be folded as you like, placing the modules in any direction (along and across).

Today, the following types of popular transformation systems of corner sofas of large sizes are.

"Book"

Familiar classic, similar to the opening of the book: to transform the seat lift up, at the same time lowering the backrest unit and pushing it forward (the most reliable mechanism).

"Eurobook"

Modification of the "book" with a slight difference: sitting in a raised position is pushed forward and lowered to the floor, after which the back is lowered (a durable mechanism for each day).

"Conrad" ("telescope")

Roll-out model with a simple system: the section is rolled out from under the seat, the base is lifted, unnecessary cushions of the sofa are put in the linen drawer, the mats are laid out with filler according to the “Book” principle.

"Pantograph" ("tic-tac")

A system with a “walking” transformation mechanism resembling a modified “Eurobook” scheme: you need to pull the seat forward, holding the loop, and when it takes the right position, all that remains is to lower the backrest.

"Puma"

Similarity to the “pantograph”: the sofa is laid out in one motion, holding the seat and pulling it forward, while simultaneously raising the second block of the sleeping place, which is under the seat.

"Dolphin"

Model with a fixed back and retractable seat hidden in the inner box: pulling the loop,push the seat block all the way, then lift it up, forming a rectangular bed together with the base seat and the corner element.

"Accordion"

Understandable by the name of the transformation mechanism, similar to stretching the bellows of harmonies: when unfolded, the back, consisting of two (sometimes three) blocks, connected along one edge, turns into a single berth.

"Click-klyak" ("Tango")

A simple mechanism of the "book" with a click: the seat is raised to the characteristic sound, and only then lowered, occupying the desired position.

"French cot"

The similarity of the "accordion" with a small variation: the sleeping bed mats are folded on the roll principle, so when unfolding they unfold one by one (the system has additional supports for the strength of the legs).

Sedaflex

The American folding bed, the principle of which is concluded in the following: when the seat is raised, the sleeping bed is automatically formed from three component parts, alternately occupying the correct position (an excellent guest option).

Swivel mechanism

A unique system with a reduced load on the frame and the absence of unnecessary complexity of raising and lowering the blocks: for disassembling the sofarotates the long part of the base or the angle perpendicular to the second part with the obligatory fastening with metal brackets on the bottom of the blocks.

"Scissors"

An alternative to a swivel mechanism with the rotation of one section to another and lower mounting, however, this opens an additional section in the form of a bedside table.

Dimensions

The size range of large corner sofas is diverse. Dimensions of models can vary depending on the standards of each model established by a particular manufacturer. Corner sofas can be standard or non-standard, from two to three meters in length and more. The minimum base length of such products is 190 cm.

Spacious models in the spotlight. Today, the most popular options are products with dimensions of 210x200, 210x230, 210x240, 220x240 cm and more. They are more comfortable than small analogs with parameters 180x200, 160x200, 160x210 cm.

Color solutions

The color palette of the corner sofas of large sizes adheres to practical shades. White color today is relegated to the background: it is the only one of classic tones that is considered inappropriate for such furniture.If you really want to add light and show privilege, you can use this color along with other tones of the palette.

The universal classic remains the center of attention: beige, light gray, brown tones in the upholstery of the material are used more often than others. Sand, mustard, marsh, wine and olive tones are added to them. And the color of the upholstery should not be the same: prints in the form of inconspicuous patterns are popular. Lace patterns are in demand not less than vegetable themes, animal colors give way to expensive upholstery texture.

Monochrome black color today is inharmonious: saturated colors look much more interesting and lively in the interior: with their help you can add fresh colors to the style that will not create depressive notes of mood.

Materials

Among the components of models of corner sofas are steel, wood, plywood, filler, upholstery. In addition to the lattice base of elastic lamellae (crossbars of birch or pine, located transversely to the length at the same distance from each other), sometimes the basis is a horizontal spring grid of a serpentine shape, having a flexible connection of "coils" to each other.Such a base is unreliable, because long steel elements under load are stretched, which deforms the filler of the block superimposed over the base.

Filling blocks and modules

The main line of corner sofas has components of the seats and backs, filled with springless padding. This material does not accumulate static electricity, so it is harmless to the health of users. Regardless of the origin (natural or artificial), such a filler is hypoallergenic, it does not cause allergies, does not accumulate dust like a spring analog, therefore it is suitable for the use of allergy sufferers and asthmatics.

In the production they use modern material with high indicators of elasticity, elasticity and orthopedic effect (an exception is the usual foam rubber used in cheap models and dependent springs).

The most high-quality and durable stuffing large corner sofas include latex. In the more expensive models it is natural, it is a derivative of the rubber tree Hevea with high performance, does not change its structure for many years.Such a filler is produced in two ways and, depending on this, it looks like a dense layer with micro cells or perforated canvas.

In budget versions, an artificial analogue of natural latex is used - furniture polyurethane foam of HR type with a small percentage of latex impregnation. According to the properties of such a material is less elastic, but it is optimally rigid and practical, designed for 10-12 years with proper operation.

In addition to the main components of the packing, manufacturers use additional layers, among which the most popular raw material is holofiber, struttofiber, coir, felt, sintepon, sintepukh. Rigid materials are added to the surface or seat block, and the sintepon and sintepukh are more often used for sidewalls (armrests) and decorative pillows.

Transformable models are made with mattresses of identical thickness: this provides the same surface height. The same rule applies to modules: most of them are made of the same thickness, taking into account the size, breaking up into equal elements of a bed.

Springs

The corner sofa unit can have a spring structure, which is divided into two categories: dependent and independent springs.In the first type, the twisted elements are arranged vertically and are connected to each other, therefore, under load, a larger number of springs are activated.

The second type of block has a uniform load distribution, since at a pressure only working springs are involved in it. The structure of the block is somewhat different: the elements that make up its core are attached to the bottom of the frame, connected to each other by means of textile covers in which they are packed.

Sitting or lying on such a sofa, the spine will always be in the correct position, no matter what part of the block the user is on. And it does not matter, one or two people “load” the mattress: the back of each of them will be straight, none of them will roll to the other because of the difference in weight.

Upholstery

The upholstery material of large corner sofas is diverse. The range of the most popular materials includes furniture tapestry, velor, natural and artificial leather, flock and jacquard. Each type of upholstery has its strengths and weaknesses, differs in different service life and resistance to mechanical damage.

Leather upholstery is durable and practical, this material is resistant to the formation of dirt and dust accumulation, easy to clean, looks expensive and is resistant to abrasion. The lack of leather is expensive, so customers with a limited budget have to buy models of corner sofas made of eco-leather or leatherette.

Textiles are quite diverse and not limited in the choice of style and color. It is not so aristocratic, it has a shorter service life, it is not resistant to intensive operation and mechanical damage, therefore it quickly loses its attractiveness of the original form. However, such models are perfectly decorated with removable covers "Euro", which allows you to make them exclusive, extending the service life.

Reviews

Large corner sofas are a great design solution, say buyers, leaving comments on the web. Such designs are more convenient than a small sofa, create a cozy atmosphere, look appropriate and allow you to sit with your whole family or a noisy company. This furniture is unique and turns the living room into a bedroom in case of the arrival of guests, organizing a spacious sleeping place and comfortable sleeping conditions, - the customers write in the reviews.

Alas, such a sofa does not always fit into a small room with limited space and narrow doorways, as some users regret. Therefore, sometimes a sofa installed in a particular room remains in it, therefore it requires careful selection of the room in the house before installation.
