Top Tips For Your L-Shape Sofa

L-shape sofas are an impressive way of combining the practicalities of home life with a bold sense of style.  Typically a more informal option for your space, an L-shape sofa is an aesthetically pleasing way to break up a room, and a good alternative to chairs.  You can also seat more people when you’re entertaining!

An excellent choice for cinema or TV rooms, they are sociable and super practical for the whole family.

1. Be precise with your measurements.  We can create a piece that tucks into a corner or under the window sills of a room.
2. Decide what level of comfort you want to achieve and what cushion filling you would like – do you want to sink into your cushions or sit on them?
3. Do you want to create a room within a room? The backs of the sofa can create a wonderful space divider to separate a large open-plan room – e.g. dining and lounging.
4. Would you like the set to be modular/sectional or all in one piece?
5. What is the access like and how would you like the sofa to be attached? We can create the furniture in sections which makes it easier to manoeuvre if you think you may move house. If not, our on-site upholstery team can seamlessly upholster your piece to create a streamlined finish.
6. Remember that the corner section has no leg room, so if you wish to comfortably seat 4 people, you will need to combine two 3 seater sofas, rather than a two 2 seater sofas.

Every L-shape sofa we make at George Smith is tailored to suit your specific space requirements. The options are endless. Any of our catalogue pieces can be made into an L-shape and we have great fun doing so!  See the gallery below to see some examples of pieces from our Designer Collections that have been transformed into L-shape sofas.

The option to make an entirely bespoke L-shape sofa is also available should you wish to be even more creative with your space.  Simply send us a design idea and dimensions and we can define, design and refine to make the perfect piece for you.
