Homeowners usually ask, do I need a left or right-hand corner sofa?
There are many different styles of corner sofas to choose from, and it can be difficult to know what will suit your living room best.
As your home is the centre of your family life, it's important that you have a design aesthetic that you will enjoy for a long period of time. The sofa is generally the focal point of your living room, so it should be comfortable, beautiful and durable. Most importantly, the sofa should allow you to sit and entertain or relax comfortably for long hours.
While the decision on which corner sofa will best suit your individual need is subjective, there are certain things to consider when choosing left or right-corner sofas that could help make your decision easier.

Chat NowIt is worthwhile to create a sketch of your room to help you decide which orientation will suit it the best. Mark the locations of your doors, TV, coffee table, and other room components. To test which works best, you can cut out the shapes of a left and right-handed sofa like this Hollywood Sofa, and position them in your sketch.
Or you can use internet tools to develop a straightforward room layout for a better visual. Your selections may be more constrained in some situations, particularly in compact rooms, where only a particular kind of sofa will work well with the design of the space.
What corner orientation to choose will be relatively straightforward to determine after your final layout is complete.
When it comes to choosing a corner sofa for your living room, there are many things that you need to consider before making a decision.
If so, that means the sofa will look better if you put it on the left side of your room. If you want it to face away from your wall, then it will look better on the right side of your room.
If you want an armless sofa without arms, then one side will go better in front of a window and one side will go better behind a window. The other side will be angled differently so that both sides match up with each other when facing one another across the room.
Round-shaped sofas are generally considered more comfortable and more aesthetically pleasing than square-shaped ones—so if this is important to you then consider trying out both types before making your final decision.
Choose left-sided sofas, as they will be more likely to be a focal point. Right-sided sofas are more likely to blend in and not draw attention away from other elements in your room.
Go with right-sided sofas. Their soft curves will make them feel like a part of the space you're trying to create. Left-sided sofas tend to feel more formal or boxed in than right-sided ones do. The cosy feel of the Diamond Club Sofa is perfect for your space.
You can use your corner sofa in a lot of different ways.
