How to choose a corner sofa with a table?

A soft and comfortable sofa is the dream of any hostess. Today you can choose such furniture of any size, color, design and dimensions. Sofas look perfect in any room of your premises, be it a kitchen, living room, bedroom or dining room. The corner model will not only fit into the design of the room, but also save square meters. And if the sofa is equipped with a table in the corner or on the side and with a berth, then this option is a real salvation in many situations.

Corner sofas for the most part differ from the usual, standard models. The first difference is the shape of the product, which allows it to be installed in the corner of the room without disturbing the overall picture of the interior. Typically, such designs have fairly roomy linen boxes, where you can fold bed linen and the necessary little things. A design with an armrest, drawers and various built-in niches will suit both the bedroom and the kitchen. Transformer models will save enough space, for example, a sofa bed, if desired, can simply be expanded and additional sleeping places can be obtained.

A corner sofa with a table in the corner is often installed in the kitchen or living room, in the nursery or even in the study. The main advantages of these sofas are as follows:

• simplicity and ease of use;
• practicality and versatility;
• variety of location options;
• convenient configuration.

By the type of frame, sofa beds with a table in the corner can be divided into two types, such as:

• monolithic, consisting of fastened parts, to convert it into a sleeping bed, the main and corner parts are used;
• modular, consisting of practical blocks that allow you to get various variations of the installation of the model; some models even remove the armrests and change the side of the corner.

All models, both with a berth and with a built-in table on the side, differ in the folding system, which must be taken into account when choosing a design, namely:

• accordion mechanism officially called "accordion"; such a model provides a wide place to sleep, in terms of reliability, it is above all praise;

• there are often corner models with a universal dolphin mechanism: in them, it is enough to pull on a special strap, like the second part of the sofa, thanks to the roll-out mechanism, will take the desired position;

• the most common models are sofas called "eurobooks", in which the back takes a horizontal position, and the corner part remains immovable;

• convenient option for unfolding a structure with a mechanism Puma, in which the joints are practically invisible, in addition, such sofas do not scratch the floor;

• popular model "French clamshell"however, it is not recommended to use such a device located in the corner of the sofa every day: it quickly breaks down.

As stated earlier, a corner sofa with a table in the corner and a berth is suitable for any room, but a structure with a table on the armrest is best placed in the kitchen or dining room. Manufacturers offer two- and three-seater compact models that do not take up much space in small kitchens or dining rooms. If necessary, you can buy chairs, thereby increasing the seats. If the armrest is small, then it is also suitable for a living room. They can be used for gadgets, a TV remote control, books, and even put a mug of tea.

As for the transformation of tables, they also vary, namely:

• table with constant height - in such a structure, only the table top is laid out, its dimensions change;

• the height of the support is transformed, and the size of the table top remains unchanged;

• the height is also transformed, and the dimensions of the countertops.

Today, manufacturers are ready to offer corner models of a wide variety of sizes, however, there are standard sizes in the furniture industry, which every second buyer is guided by, namely:

• the standard compact model is available in lengths of 110–140 cm; if the sofa is intended for sleeping, then its dimensions should be increased to 180-200 cm;
• the length of the central part of the sofa by standards can be from 230 to 280 cm; such large models are designed for a spacious room and can serve as a sleeping bed for two adults, and in some structures of 2000x2000, 2000x1500 and 2000x1400 mm, more than two people can fit;
• the usual height of the seat does not exceed 50 cm, and its depth is from 50 to 70 cm; such dimensions will allow you to enjoy comfort;
• what about the height of the back of the sofa, then by standards it reaches a height of 90 cm, sometimes up to 1 meter;
• produce also corner sofa models of non-standard sizes, for example, 3000x2000 mm; such designs can become the centerpiece in large spacious rooms, however, not all manufacturers produce such models; in this case, you can count on an individual order, which will cost you a pretty penny, but it's worth it.

When buying a corner sofa, it is important to determine its size, otherwise you can clutter up the room or, conversely, leave too much empty space. So measure your corner space and follow designer tips such as:

• for a small room, it is not recommended to choose large U-shaped sofas;
• it is better to choose a small compact sofa for the kitchen; if the room is small, it is better to choose a model without armrests;
• it is better to choose a small sofa in the children's room, better with rounded shapes;
• recently, corner sofas with built-in bar counters have been gaining popularity; such an element can be built into the side of the structure or into the back.

When choosing a sofa, you need to pay special attention to its upholstery fabric. Many users are inclined towards the choice of artificial materials, since they have clear advantages: inexpensive price and durability. Additional impregnation of the fabric of the material makes them practically invulnerable to stains.

• Flock - material, the basis of which is made up of threads glued to it. The advantages of such upholstery are a variety of colors, an inexpensive price and visual appeal. It is waterproof, not electrified.

• Faux suede sofas fit perfectly into any design. Visually, this material creates the effect of "warmth", but the pile is quickly "erased", characteristic spots may appear on the product.

• Leather substitute or artificial leather interesting in that they are not particularly expensive, they are not afraid of moisture and are easy to care for - just walk over the product with a damp cloth. Among the disadvantages - it easily ignites and sticks to the body.

For lovers of natural materials, you can offer several options.

• Jacquard half natural, but this is a guarantee of its strength and durability. The sofas with jacquard upholstery are above all praise, and to the touch they resemble silk. The fabric does not fade in the sun and is not afraid of frequent drying, but wet cleaning should not be abused, otherwise the fabric will lose its outer gloss.

• Tapestry upholstery it has been used for more than one century as furniture decoration. She belongs to the expensive materials, but her appearance is worth it. However, taking care of it is quite problematic, and the fabric also fades in the sun.

• Velours It is made up of half polyester so that the upholstery does not stretch. Usually manufacturers use velor with a velvety surface for furniture. But washing such a fabric is problematic: it is almost impossible to remove stains and a gentle regime is required.

With regard to the design of a corner sofa with a table and a berth, then today consumers can indulge in fantasies, namely:

• if you do not like armrests, then feel free to order a model without them; visually, they do not clutter up the space, creating lightness and comfort;

• L-shaped sofas, on the other hand, can fill the empty space in the room;

• leather upholstered sofas create a luxurious ambience in any room;

• modular white sofa - a classic of the genre; elegant, with corner shelves under the armrests, it will give an unforgettable charm even to a small room;

• bright and unusual upholstery colors will fit perfectly into modern design, even if the wallpaper in the room is one-color;

• if the design of the apartment is made in a classic style, then it is recommended to choose a corner sofa in a single color scheme.

An original interior solution with a corner sofa can be country style or Provence. To emphasize the stylistic solution, you can artificially "age" the upholstery of the structure or choose unpainted linen or a pattern in a small flower.

If the interior uses natural materials, wood, bamboo or mats, then an elegant solution in this case will be a leather sofa, which today can be purchased in any color scheme.
