Corner Sofa Styling Tips – Home Cinema
Lights, camera, comfort! From movie nights to gaming sessions, when styling a corner sofa for a home cinema setup, you want to create a comfortable and immersive environment that enhances your movie-watching experience. Consider the following styling tips:
Choose a corner sofa with plush cushions and deep seating for maximum comfort. Look for sofas with built-in recliners or chaise lounges for added relaxation during movie sessions.
Optimal viewing distance. Consider the recommended viewing distance for your TV or projection screen. Ensure that the distance between the screen and the seating area is appropriate for the size of the display to avoid discomfort or eye strain.
Install dimmable lighting fixtures or use blackout curtains to control the level of ambient light in the room. Dimming the lights or creating a darker environment helps create a more immersive cinematic experience.
Place side tables or small coffee tables near the corner sofa to provide a convenient spot for placing drinks, snacks and remotes. Look for tables with built-in cup holders or consider adding cup holder inserts to existing tables.
Add movie-themed artwork, posters or framed movie stills to the walls surrounding your corner sofa. These decorative touches can enhance the cinema atmosphere and showcase your personal taste in films.

“Opt for a large, oversized sectional which offers generous seating for family and friends, that is comfortable enough to spend hours on at a time. Don’t forget good black-out blinds or curtains for added atmosphere.’”

Lexington Corner Sofa Bed – Laidback Living Room Mood Board
Corner Sofa – Laidback Living Room Styling Tips
When styling a corner sofa for a laidback living room, the goal is to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere where you can unwind and enjoy leisurely moments for the ultimate chill zone. Here are some tips to help you achieve that laidback vibe:
Choose a corner sofa with soft, cosy fabrics that invite you to sink in and relax. Fabrics like velvet or boucle can create a luxurious and comfortable feel.
Position your corner sofa in a way that promotes conversation and interaction. Consider placing it in a central area of the room, facing other seating options or a focal point such as a fireplace or coffee table.
Add an extra layer of comfort by layering cushions and throws on your corner sofa. Mix and match different textures, colours and patterns to create a cosy and inviting look.
Incorporate natural elements into your living room to create a calming and organic atmosphere. Use houseplants, natural wood furniture or woven baskets to add a touch of nature to the space.
For additional seating options or a more casual feel, incorporate floor cushions or pouffees around your corner sofa. These can be easily moved around and provide a cosy spot for lounging or extra seating when needed.

“A corner sofa placed in the centre of a large living room is one of the best ways to zone your space, creating a natural walkway, as well as a central point for a coffee table. An XL rug can be used underneath your corner sofa to further delineate your seating area.”

Corner Sofa Styling Tips – Monochrome Den
Bold, elegant and effortlessly chic. Styling a corner sofa in a monochrome den can create a sleek and sophisticated look. Here are some tips to help you achieve a stylish monochrome aesthetic:
Choose a corner sofa that matches the monochrome theme. Opt for a sofa upholstered in black or white fabric or select a grey sofa to add a subtle variation to the colour scheme.
Select accent furniture pieces that complement the monochrome theme. Look for black or white side tables, coffee tables or shelving units with clean lines and minimalistic designs. Consider incorporating metallic accents like chrome or silver for added elegance.
Use black & white artwork, framed photographs or abstract prints to adorn the walls. Large black & white canvas prints can make a bold statement, while smaller framed prints can create a gallery wall effect.
Place a black or white area rug under the corner sofa to anchor the seating area and add texture. Consider a patterned rug with geometric designs or a black & white stripe for added visual interest.
Less is more when it comes to accessories in a monochrome den. Select a few carefully curated decorative items such as black & white vases, sculptural pieces or minimalist wall clocks. Avoid cluttering the space to maintain the clean and sophisticated feel.
What Other Interior Design Experts Say About Monochrome Dens…
“A monotone room can sometimes feel too stark and cold, and the best way to warm it up is with the right balance of textures. Choose natural textiles, handmade materials, plush linens, silks, fur and velvet. These can bring a flat scheme to life and offer comfort to the dweller. Also, texture can dampen sound and give the room a cosier feel.”

Lexington Corner Sofa Bed – Playful Playroom Mood Board
Corner Sofa Styling Tips – Playful Playroom
When styling a corner sofa for a playful playroom, you want to create a fun and vibrant environment that encourages creativity and play. Here are some practical tips for a space where fun knows no bounds:
Add excitement and visual interest to the corner sofa with patterned cushions and throws. Look for fun prints, such as polka dots, stripes or animal motifs, to make the sofa more inviting and playful.
Place a low-level coffee table near the corner sofa to provide a surface for crafts, games or snacks. Look for tables with rounded edges to ensure safety for children.
Create a soft play area near the corner sofa by adding foam mats or a colourful rug. This provides a safe and comfortable space for active play, crawling or rolling around.
Incorporate storage solutions near the corner sofa to keep toys organised and easily accessible. Use colourful bins, baskets or shelves to create a visually appealing and functional storage area.
Add interactive elements to the playroom by including a small chalkboard or whiteboard near the corner sofa. This allows children to draw, write or play games while seated.
What Other Interior Design Experts Say About Playroom Sofa Beds…
“It may be one of the more simple living room ideas, but consider adding in a sofa bed. It’s a great bonus so little ones can lay down for a nap but still be within sight. They’ll stay in use through the years, too, as teenagers might need a place for friends to crash. Plus, they’re a godsend when extended family has come to visit.”
