What are the sizes of an angular sofa, transformation mechanisms

Creating a stylish and comfortable design, experts are increasingly focusing on furniture. Especially often in projects corner sofas are used. Such furniture makes an impression, creates comfort, makes you want to spend as much time as possible in the house. The dimensions of the corner sofas play a paramount role. They are suitable for both small rooms and large studios. In any case, corner structures occupy a smaller area compared to classic sofas.

The main types of models

The corner sofa is a combination of a chair and a straight part. This configuration allows you to rationally use the living space of the room and is great for blind spots. The main advantage is that the room creates additional space for relaxing and receiving guests. Nevertheless, the purchase of a corner model requires knowledge of a number of nuances.

The assortment range of corner systems is represented by three types: transformer, modular and monolithic.

The design of the transformable type is equipped with folding, walking or sliding mechanisms that can be converted into a sleeping sofa due to an increase in overall dimensions. The most common are: eurobook, tango, dolphin, spartak and so on. The advantages of these models are much greater than the disadvantages. A significant minus can be called the inability to use every day because of the design features. In the mechanisms of the eurobook, dolphin, for example, the surface of the rolled out part is rather rigid, and the springy base is much softer - this creates certain inconveniences. The main advantages of transformers:

  1. The design quickly unfolds, and this allows you to correctly use the useful area of ​​housing.
  2. Reliability and durability is provided by the minimum use of mobile mechanisms.
  3. Almost instantly, you can get more seats.
  4. The inner drawers are great for storing bedding - eliminating the need for additional cabinets. The option is especially relevant for rooms with dimensions that do not allow to place a large amount of furniture.

The difference between a modular sofa and other options is that its structural basis is based on the ability to transform due to the layout of individual segments, which make it possible to radically change the configuration. Each component performs its function:

  • the straight part of the sofa controls its length - this way you can free up usable area;
  • the corner segment is involved in the formation of one or more protrusions;
  • the armrests separate the parts of the sofa;
  • poufs are additional soft seats.

Modular corner systems have several advantages:

  • the size of the sofa, the number of segments and the configuration can be determined independently, thereby deciding which part of the area to leave free;
  • almost all modules are equipped with drawers for storing things;
  • shape can be modified instantly, freeing up the necessary space of the room;
  • armrests can replace bookshelves or a coffee table.

The choice of modular designs for small rooms is very limited. When designing a room, you must strictly follow the rules for choosing corner furniture and take into account the features of the layout. Products intended for frequent rearrangements are very expensive.

The monolithic construction is almost always presented in the form of a semicircle and is non-separable. This option requires large areas and therefore is very often used in public places or spacious living rooms. The main advantage of the model is a long service life, as the design does not have transformation mechanisms that can quickly fail. The disadvantages include the inability to unfold and form a berth.

Standard sizes

Angular sofas have the following dimensions relative to the standard:

  • length (main part) - 230-280 cm;
  • width (side) - 150-180 cm;
  • sofa height - 90 cm.

The most common models, due to their night-time transformation capabilities, can replace large-sized double sofas, and in the daytime, rest and relaxation areas.

Custom models

Furniture manufacturers do not stand still and often, listening to the preferences of consumers, produce corner sofas, departing from the usual sizes to a smaller or larger side. Non-standard options:

  1. Small and compact. This option is perfect for placement in the kitchen or hallway. Suitable for a comfortable location of one person. The dimensions of a sleeping place for a small-sized product are equal in length and width to 170 x 170 cm. Compact types will fit perfectly into small studios or Khrushchev apartments, while they will not “eat up” the already limited space. Dimensions are 150 x 150 cm or 130 x 200 cm. Representatives of these options are models with dolphin, tick-tack, and eurobook mechanisms.
  2. Small ones. Sofa book - the main representative of such models. When disassembled, its length reaches 125 cm and its width is 140 cm. Among other things, small corner sofas can be supplemented with a similar design section. The dimensions are standard and equal to 90 x 160 cm. The equipped headset will perform the function of an ottoman, while the segments are independent of each other.
  3. Medium. The size of the sofa is 200 x 150 cm, and in assembled form - about 240 x 260 cm. Such a gap in values ​​directly depends on the width of the armrests. At the sofa, taking into account the upper part, the depth is up to 150 cm, and the back height is from 70 to 80 cm.
  4. Big ones. This view rightfully refers to VIP-class models due to the high price. Seat length - from two meters and above. Often they are produced in a single copy according to customer projects. The overall parameters of the resting place are 200 x 140 cm or 300 x 200 cm.
  5. Radius (semicircular). The seat configuration is a curved arc. Products can be monolithic or modular. The size of the second depends on the number of sections and their length, and the bend on the preferences of the client. Often this type is used for living rooms, and the maximum capacity of large radius sofas is up to 10 people.

It must be remembered that radius sofas will look good only in fairly spacious rooms.

Sleeping area

An indisputable advantage of modern corner systems - in terms of functionality they are a universal piece of furniture, and in terms of convenience they are comparable to beds. The most popular models are those in which the sofas are compact in size, but the berth is spacious. Such a piece of furniture is acceptable for a night's rest, and does not take up much space during the day.

Width - the main standard size, according to which angular systems are divided into several varieties. They are presented in the table.

Particular attention when choosing should be given to such characteristics as the comfort of a berth, the overall dimensions of corner sofas and their equipment.

Customized Product Advantages

Having decided to purchase a corner sofa, the consumer is guided by the criteria of ergonomics and aesthetics of appearance. At the same time, the factor of “fitting” the product into the interior of the room, price, and so on are also of particular importance. It is often difficult to find the corner sofa model that meets all your needs. This does not mean that the products sold by retail outlets are bad, but for the most part they cannot ensure the individuality and originality of the project, taking into account the demands of the discerning buyer.

The advantages of individual sizes are undeniable:

  • design taking into account the style of the interior;
  • the ability to select the desired overall dimensions of the model, even the standard height can be changed;
  • type of folding and other design features - at the request of the customer;
  • organization of a storage system (placement and capacity of compartments and boxes);
  • the ability to select materials and components will not only allow you to purchase a piece of furniture that is suitable for all characteristics, but also save money.

In most cases, an angular folding sofa, made to individual sizes, is more expensive than the finished counterpart. However, the obvious advantages of such a product will more than cover the costs incurred once. The main thing is to prudently make a choice.
