corner sofas in the middle of the living room
benefits of a corner sofa in the middle of the living room
The sun is peeking through the window, your favorite drink is within reach, and you're stretched out on your corner sofa in the middle of your living room. Sound like a dream? It's the current interior design trend. A corner sofa in the center of your living room not only provides extra seating but also creates that open, inviting atmosphere we all crave. Not a blockage against the wall, but a cleverly placed focal point that gives the space structure and warmth. More depth, playful walkways, and subtle zones for living, dining, or even working. And the best part? Your living room feels more spacious—without having to knock down a wall.
smart way to divide your space
Think of your living room as a blank canvas. By strategically placing your corner sofa in the center, you can create zones without needing walls. The living area then flows effortlessly into the kitchen or workspace – without clutter. This arrangement creates airiness, structure, and a cozy atmosphere. Especially if you choose a modular sofa, because then you can easily adapt the shape to your space. Our collection of modular sofas is perfect for this: flexible, stylish, and designed to cleverly organize your interior. Prefer a cozy office corner or a play area for the kids? That's certainly possible. With the right corner sofa, you literally build the atmosphere in your home.
tips for placing a corner sofa in the middle of the room
A corner sofa prominently placed in the center requires a bit of planning—but the result is impressive. Start by measuring: ideally, your living room should be at least 5 by 5 meters. This will allow for ample walking space around the sofa (tip: aim for 90 cm of clear passage). Also, pay attention to doorways and sightlines: you don't want to discover halfway through the day that you can't open a cupboard door anymore.

Small space? Don't panic. Our X5 corner sofa is compact yet expansive, with its stylish curves and sturdy metal legs. No room for a central arrangement? Try placing your sofa 20cm from the wall for an instantly airier effect. And choose a model with legs, like the X3 corner sofa, so your floor remains visible. It looks bigger and feels wonderfully spacious.
Which corner sofa suits your living room layout?
What do you want your sofa to do most of all? Enjoy lounging during movie nights? Or serve as an active seating area for everyday use? At 4x6 sofa, we have a model to suit every need. For example, the X4 corner sofa with its high back is perfect for those who like to sit upright, while the X6 with its extra deep seat is ideal for ultimate relaxation.
And then there's the seating island – a playful, modular setup where the elements are placed together in the middle. This way, everyone gets their own space, while still being together. Some modules face the TV, others towards the window or the garden. Our seating elements easily click together (or separate), so you can change the setting in an instant. That's what we call flexible living!

styling tips for a floating corner sofa
Your sofa is freestanding in the room—yes! But then? Now comes the styling. Start with a rug to anchor the arrangement. Or even two: a large one under the sofa and a smaller one under a side table. Play with shapes: is your sofa sleek and straight? Then go for round accessories to break up the lines.

Also, ensure balance in colors and materials. Mix cushions in different textures and shades—beige or velvet—for an inviting look. Japandi? Then work with light shades like beige, light gray, and off-white. Prefer a bit more energy? Our fabrics in terracotta or denim blue work beautifully in a boho or modern interior. And best of all: you can request free color samples to get the perfect feel at home.
