How to choose your IKEA corner sofa?
The first step in making your choice is to determine the location of the corner sofa in the living room and, therefore, on the side of the chaise longue. IKEA offers ultra-functional modules: storage, bedding… Take the time to take stock of your needs. The brand offers you a wide choice of corner sofas “ready to shop”, but it also has configurators allowing you to design the ideal model.
Also consider your daily habits. If you love to watch TV, a deep seat is recommended. If you are more of a fan of reading, a straight and narrow seat is more appropriate.
The little detail you never think about? Check the height of the sofa! Remember to take into account the height of the people who live in the household. The Kivik model is for example a relatively low corner sofa. Taller people will be more comfortable on a slightly taller model like Vimle.
One of IKEA’s strengths is of course the choice of materials and colors. If you tend to get bored easily, choose neutral colors: beige or gray. You can easily revamp your sofa by accessorizing it with cushions and throws. To give relief to the decor, think about playing with the carpet, for example by betting on the checkerboard pattern.
The alternative is to choose an IKEA corner sofa with removable covers: all you have to do is “dress it up” to bring it up to date!
Finally, choose accessories carefully. A coffee table on wheels or a sideboard are smart choices with an IKEA convertible corner sofa. For a fixed sofa, you can opt for a more traditional coffee table or a large pouf.
Ikea corner sofa: 7 models to shop
Ikea offers a wide range of corner sofas, which meet almost all needs, but also all desires in terms of aesthetics.
The IKEA corner sofa that sticks to the major trends of the year is of course JÄTTEBO. This model is characterized primarily by its deep seats and low backrest. If it is not strictly speaking a novelty, it is one of the essentials of the IKEA 2023 catalog. What earned it center stage is a version in corduroy green in the color Samsala. This deliciously vintage yellow green is hot in a retro decoration, especially when inspired by the 1970s.
The LANDSKRONA model is the preferred choice for fans of leather sofas. Offered in black or in a very contemporary golden brown, this corner sofa is stunning in a contemporary living room, where it combines harmoniously with the glass coffee table. It also adapts to a chic ethnic atmosphere, in combination with a Berber rug.
The KIVIK sofa is an IKEA classic. This gray sofa seduces with its timeless character. And with its generous cushions and low armrests, it seems made for chilling.
If you’re a fan of the colorful living room, this iconic IKEA creation comes in a beautiful palette – by the way, it’s an opportunity to give in to the pink sofa trend. The KIVIK corner sofa goes well with a wooden coffee table. However, for an even more cocooning atmosphere, it is replaced by the square pouf from the same range.
This large coordinated model offers ample additional seating, and can also serve as a footstool. And it has an XXL storage space, to keep a tidy living room.
VIMLE is IKEA’s convertible corner sofa that can transform the living room into an authentic guest room. This modular model allows for example to have two beds and a spacious trunk. Like all corner sofas offered by IKEA, it is available in many colors. We particularly like its lighter versions – the beige or pastel blue sofa has a more ethereal look, even in large format.
HOLMSUND is the IKEA convertible corner sofa that offers maximum sleeping comfort on a daily basis. It also has storage for storing pillows and duvets. It is therefore the model to shopper without hesitation to equip a studio. With it, you are sure to have both a chill lounge and a cozy sleeping area!
Looking for a model that fits perfectly with your decorative desires? Bet on SÖDERHAMN, a modular corner sofa from IKEA that offers a lot of possibilities. We love its sleek contemporary design, which combines generous seats and discreet legs. We love the choice of colors available. If you love the Color Block trend or the Arty decor, this model is your best ally. It is actually offered in bold and ultra-trendy colors.
IKEA’s EKTORP corner sofa fits perfectly into the living room layout. From the 3-seater corner sofa with chaise longue to the panoramic model, it offers many possibilities.
Its little extra is its system of removable covers. It is therefore possible to get one or two additional pieces – which is particularly practical in the event of a small accident with children, or even with a pet. You also have the possibility of completely revamping it to stick to the latest trends, without having to change the sofa.
