Extra-large L-shaped sofas are all the rage these days and you’ll notice them popping up in more and more homes. Since they have come into fashion in recent years, many people find themselves wondering how to design their room around their new L shaped sofa. Here at Delux Deco, we supply large grey, leather, and fabric L-shaped sofas, promising versatility so that the furniture can be adapted to any room.
We’re sure that you’ll find a sofa to suit your home within our selection, but the difficulty then comes from how to design your room.
Sofa in the Centre
If you have a large lounge, placing your L-shaped sofa in the centre of your room is a great way to make use of the space. This is an ideal layout for those who love having company round as the seating area will be the centrepiece of your living room. When allowing your sofa to take centre stage, your room radiates comfort and togetherness.
In order to contribute to this feeling of comfort, you may incorporate a fireplace into the space for a warm and cosy ambience. If your room is particularly spacious, you could even add extra armchairs to the open end of the sofa to round off the space. For large furniture such as your sofa, you might want to stick to neutral tones and incorporate bold colours using scatter cushions.
Making an Intimate Circle
Not everyone has a large living space, but you can use this to your advantage by creating an intimate sphere. The best way to do this is by placing a matching armchair on the open end of the sofa to form a circle. This makes the perfect snug for family and friends to gather within and enjoy one another’s company.
When designing a smaller space, it’s important to create an open space and minimise edges. Edges create boundaries that restrict the space, making it appear cramped rather than intimate. In order to avoid this, you should place a round coffee table within the room’s centre to bring everyone towards each other.
Sitting Next to a Window
Windows open up your space, and placing your sofa next to the window can make your sitting area look airy and inviting. On a sunny day, your sofa will be warm and your room will be filled with light; this creates the perfect space for reading and relaxing alike.
This room design is all about serenity, and you’ll want to maintain this tranquillity through your sofa’s colouring. Once again, it’s best to opt for a neutral shade, however, the space can be embellished through your placement of throw cushions. For such a peaceful design, you might decide on neutrally coloured cushions with striking patterns or shapes. This will allow you to decorate the space without overwhelming it.
Partition the Room
Due to their length, L-shaped sofas are ideal for separating a multi-purpose room. For example, your sofa may sit in front of your TV with its back to the kitchen and its side to the dining area. This creates the illusion of more space whilst allowing you to organise your room into zones.
The colours that you choose for each furniture piece can also contribute to the separation. For instance, you can use slightly differing yet complimentary colour palettes to signify the difference in zones whilst simultaneously tying the whole space together.
Sofa Against the Back Wall
Positioning your sofa against your back wall is the most efficient design in terms of space-saving. This allows you to create a seating area without eating into the floor space in the room’s centre. Additionally, it creates a clear pathway within the room from the door to the relaxation zone.
Due to the scale of a sofa, it can appear obtrusive when incorrectly placed. However, when ideally positioned, your sofa can be a valuable asset to your entire space. When placing a sofa directly in front of a wall, you should ensure that the colour of the sofa differs slightly from the shade of the wall so that it doesn’t get lost within the space. Despite this, it’s of great importance that the respective tones compliment one another.
It’s a good idea to frame your sofa when positioning it in this way by placing a rectangular rug and coffee table in front of it. This is effective in making the room’s centre visually appealing.
