A corner lounge, often known as an L-shaped sofa or corner sofa, is a type of sofa or modular seating arrangement designed to fit neatly into the corner of a room, forming an L-shape or, in some cases, a U-shape.

Typically featuring two or more sections joined at a right angle, a corner lounge offers versatile and ample seating, making it a practical choice for maximising space and optimising the layout of your living room.

The key features of a corner lounge are:

   1. L-shaped or U-shaped

   2. Customisable modular design

   3. Flexible layout configurations

Corner sofas provide ample seating while making efficient use of space, making them ideal for both open-plan living areas and smaller rooms. Their versatile design creates an inclusive seating arrangement, perfect for entertaining guests or relaxing with family. Many corner sofas from King Living are sectional, allowing you to reconfigure the design as your needs change.  

Corner sofas are best suited for medium to large living areas. To ensure a balanced layout, measure your space carefully and allow at least 800mm (2’7”) clearance around the sofa for walkways and additional furniture. Sectional corner sofas, like the Jasper or Delta collection, offer flexibility to fit spaces of varying dimensions. To learn more, explore how to create the perfect living room layout.

Lounge, sofa, and couch are often used interchangeably but can be used differently across regions. In Australia and New Zealand, lounge describes both the furniture and the room it’s in. Sofa, the most formal term, is commonly used in interior design and furniture retail for a structured, upholstered seating piece with armrests and a backrest. Couch, popular in North America, suggests a more informal, relaxed seating option, sometimes without armrests.
