Corner sofas with ottoman: types, sizes and selection

A comfortable and comfortable sofa is irreplaceable in the interior. And sofas with an ottoman are not only comfortable, but also functional enough. They are in great demand due to their capacity. On the market you can find various models with an ottoman, in different colors. Corner sofas are especially popular. Let's consider them in more detail.

In order to understand all the charm of this furniture, you should first deal with the name "ottoman", which is incomprehensible to many. After all, some do not even know what it is. In the usual sense, an ottoman is a small sofa chair with a backrest consisting of two or three removable pillows. The set also includes two elongated round cushions that replace the armrests. In another way, such models are also called an ottoman.

The first designs with an ottoman appeared in Asia and served as benches there. People were sitting on them waiting in line. After the ottoman was brought to Europe from Asia, she underwent changes and began to look more like a couch in a ladies' suite. It was upholstered with expensive fabrics, and many pillows were added instead of armrests.

But time does not stand still. Designers, relying on old solutions, came up with something new. Ottoman sofas appeared.

In ordinary corner sofas, the ottoman does not change its position.In any case, you will have to disassemble the structure in order to change the position of the parts. But in modular versions, it is possible to change the position of the ottoman. The positive aspects of this configuration include the following features.

• Will be an excellent solution in any interior. It can become its "highlight".
• Multifunctional and comfortable model.
• Due to the mechanism, the sofa unfolds and turns into a comfortable double bed.
• Available in various sizes, colors and materials.
• The sofa looks harmonious not only near the wall, but also in the middle of the room.

On the negative side, it can be noted that the corner structure will require a lot of space. This means that in narrow rooms and small rooms, this option will look too bulky and heavy.

The stores have a large selection of ottoman sofas. Therefore, it becomes quite difficult to immediately make a choice. In monolithic structures, the ottoman repeats all the contours of the sofa itself, as it is an integral part of it. Usually it contains a box for storing bed linen or other small items.

If the design is modular, then the ottoman is often used as a pouf and is moved 30-40 cm away from the sofa itself. If the design of the resulting pouf is made with a soft backing, then it is used as a footrest. This model can also be used as a bedside or tea table, which also combines storage space.

A sofa with an ottoman can be either folding or not folding... The fold-out sofa is the most popular model, since when folded it has a fairly large area that can be used for relaxation. And when unfolded, it is a great place to sleep, which is not inferior in size to a double bed.

Mechanisms that are used to unfold the sofa:

• accordion;
• eurobook;
• Dolphin;
• tick tock;
• sedaflex.

Non-folding models are used only as seats when meeting guests. If the dimensions allow, then one person can sleep on such a sofa. If the dimensions of such a model are small, then it can be placed in the hallway or in the hall. These models do not have armrests.

The following parameters can be considered the standard sizes of sofas with an ottoman: width 205 cm, depth 160-165 cm, height 90 cm.Bed size: width - 158-160 cm, length - 205-210 cm. Of course, all parameters can vary up or down... Much also depends on where exactly you want to put the selected model, what are the dimensions of the free area that you can occupy.

Before choosing this or that sofa, you should decide on the availability of free space. It is important not only where you put the furniture, but also how much usable area will remain in the end. If the room is large and spacious, then large fabric sofas with an ottoman will do. It is better to choose transformer models with a soft and voluminous lining, which will create a feeling of airiness.

If the sofa is supposed to be used as a sleeping place, then it is better to select structures with a mechanism that will be comfortable to straighten. If you need to zone the space, for example, in a one-room apartment or studio, then it is better to choose sofas of a strict and regular shape, symmetrical and without any accents in the form of a carved back or too bulky pillows.

Consider some types of sofas in the interior.

• Bright yellow sofa with an ottoman will perfectly fit into the design of a small room. A juicy shade will create coziness, and streamlined forms and the absence of armrests give the model weightlessness.

• Sofa in marine shades does not make the space heavier and looks harmonious in it. A pleasant blue color will dilute the severity of the white interior.

• Luxury modular sofa ideal for a large family or a party. Leather upholstery will emphasize the elegance of the interior in a classic style.
