7 Modern L Shaped Sofa Designs for Your Living Room

In recent years the traditional sofa design has undergone somewhat of a revolution. Designers are now seeing the humble sofa as something more than a comfy place to sit on an evening, or as a statement piece to show off in your home. It is now being classed, by some, as a work of art, whilst also being practical and comfy to sit on, as a sofa should be.

L shaped and corner sofas are one of the modern sofa designs to have transformed and here are our favourite designs:

The classic leather L shaped sofa is still a favourite amongst households and these combine two of the most popular sofa designs at the moment, the leather look and the L shape. This classic look fits in with all styles of living room.

Fabric L shaped sofas can add a very warm, homely style to any living room. These plump, comfy looking sofas make the perfect accompaniment to a night in, be it a girl’s night, a family film night or even a lads’ football night!

A popular style of L shaped sofa design comes from the minimalistic style of living. The clean lines of these sofas add to any living room and make a stylish talking point, as well as being the perfect place to curl up for an evening.

Cushion backed sofas are a big hit this season and, unsurprisingly, they feature heavily in the new designs for the L shaped sofa this season. These are great sofas for those who want to curl up in style.

When you think of L shaped sofas you tend to think of straight lines but this season there is an emergence of the curved L shape. This is a great sofa if you want to make it the centre piece of a room or don’t want to draw attention to your less than straight walls!

This season the L shaped sofa has undergone a change which makes it far easier to move around. That’s right, the L sofa comes in blocks, which not only makes it easier to move around but also means you can have it in any shape you like, moving it around until you find your comfy spot!

Designers are also having a bit of fun with the L shaped sofa with some new innovations coming through. One particularly innovative design is shaped a bit like a ‘flump’ marshmallow and is made using a hard foam used for the seat and soft foam for the back. This design not only looks great and is super comfy, it also adds a lift to any living room, bringing a contemporary feel to the room. So, next time you are looking for a new sofa for your home, why not take a look at the many L shaped sofa designs out there and add that little extra something to your living room.
