How to measure a corner sofa

It’s important to make sure your sofa will fit in your home, even more so for a corner sofa. The last thing you want is to have everything just right in your room, but the sofa overhangs a doorway or doesn’t fit in the right place. Make sure you match up the measurements on both the left and right sides of the corner sofa. Measure the width, height, and depth - if you’re as particular as we are, you could even use masking tape to map out the shape of the sofa on the floor to ensure it fits perfectly.

Got a question?

Let’s see if we can help. You’re stuck on a few details and need a helping hand, why not check out our FAQs for help and advice.

How do I measure a corner sofa?
Getting the measurements of your corner sofa right is the first step to finding that perfect fit. Start by measuring the total length and width of the space in your room where you plan to place the sofa. We’d also recommend measuring your doorways, hallways, and any staircases that the sofa will need to pass through, so you can guide our delivery team through the best route.
Do corner sofas come apart?
Yes, they do. That’s because our corner sofas are designed in sections, which helps to make delivery much simpler. This means our expert delivery team can navigate tight corners and doorways with ease. They will then assemble the corner sofa for you in its final position, fitting any feet and even plumping the cushions.
What is the smallest corner sofa?
You don’t need a large room to enjoy the comfort of a corner sofa. Our collection includes more compact designs, like 3-seater corner sofas, which offer that signature L-shaped silhouette without overwhelming your space. They’re a brilliant way to maximise seating in a smaller living room.
Can you put a corner sofa in the middle of a room?
Absolutely. You can use a corner sofa to create a living ‘zone’ in an open-plan living space, creating a natural, inviting hub for socialising or solo relaxation. Don’t worry, we design our sofas to look beautiful from every angle, so the back looks just as elegant as the rest of the corner sofa.
How are corner sofas delivered?
We take care of everything. Your new corner sofa will arrive in sections, carried by our specialist installation team. They will take it to your room of choice, unwrap it, and assemble it for you, making sure everything is perfect. They’ll even take away the packaging, so you don’t have to worry about any mess on delivery day. To find out more, head over to the Help Centre.
Are corner sofas practical?
Yes, a corner sofa is one of the best ways to maximise seating, while creating an inviting social hub. Whether it’s tucked neatly into a corner or defining a zone in an open-plan room, it provides a generous, comfortable space for the whole family to relax.
What is the difference between a left and right corner sofa?
It’s simply about which side the shorter section is on. When you’re standing and facing the sofa, if the shorter end (or chaise) is on your left, it’s a left-hand corner. If it’s on your right, it’s a right-hand corner. Think about the flow of your room and where you’d like to position the main seating area to decide which orientation is right for you.
