This is a focused range of 14 fabric corner sofas from three ranges — Orka, Rupert and Somerford. Every model comes in either a left-hand or a right-hand design (there's an even split across the collection), and the Somerford models are a corner chaise, with an open chaise end to stretch out on. Colours run across grey, beige, navy, silver, nutmeg and chocolate, so there's a tone to suit most rooms.
All the sofas here are upholstered in fabric — there's no leather in this collection. Because it's a compact, single-type range, the main decisions are orientation, colour and which range suits your budget. If you'd like a wider choice of shapes and materials, browse all corner sofas or our fabric sofas range.
The single most important decision with a corner sofa is orientation, or "handing" — whether you need a left-hand corner (LHC) or a right-hand corner (RHC). The two are mirror images, and ordering the wrong one is the most common corner-sofa mistake. The catch is that retailers describe handing differently — some judge it as you look at the sofa from the front, others as you sit on it — so the label alone isn't enough.
To work it out, stand in the room facing where the sofa will go and note which side the long run (or the chaise end) should extend to. Then check how that specific product page defines its LHC or RHC before ordering, as we don't assume a universal convention here. If there's any doubt, call our showroom team on 02476 705 600 and describe your room. Compare the wider left-hand corner sofas and right-hand corner sofas ranges.
A quick way to picture it: imagine sitting on the main run of the sofa looking out into the room. If the corner return goes off to your left, that's generally a left-hand corner; if it goes to your right, a right-hand corner — but because some retailers reverse this, always confirm against the product page's own description and, ideally, its dimensioned diagram. Getting a mirror-image sofa is the mistake that's hardest to undo once it's delivered, so it's worth the extra minute to check.
| Orientation | What it means | How to check | In this range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Left-hand corner (LHC) | Long run / chaise extends to the left | Confirm the product page's own definition | Orka, Rupert, Somerford |
| Right-hand corner (RHC) | Long run / chaise extends to the right | Confirm the product page's own definition | Orka, Rupert, Somerford |
The Somerford models in this range are a corner chaise — a corner sofa with an open, extended seat at one end that you can stretch your legs out on, rather than a squared-off corner. A chaise end is a relaxed, lounge-style option and, like the rest of the range, comes in left-hand and right-hand versions, so the same orientation check applies. Whether a particular model has a chaise end is shown in its title and on its product page.
A chaise end changes how the sofa is used day to day: it gives one person somewhere to lie out fully, which is why chaise models are popular with anyone who likes to stretch their legs up in the evening. The trade-off is that the chaise fixes where the long side sits, so orientation matters even more — choose the hand that puts the chaise on the side of the room you actually want to lounge towards, not against a wall or walkway.
With any corner sofa, measuring is the step that prevents disappointment. Measure the wall space each side of the sofa will run along, then its overall width and depth into the room, and mark the footprint on the floor with tape so you can picture it. Leave comfortable walking space around it and room for a coffee table if you want one. Then check those figures against the dimensions on the product page.
Access is where corner sofas most often catch people out. Measure your doorways, hallways, any tight turns, staircases and — for flats — lifts, at the narrowest point for both width and height. Check whether the sofa is delivered in separate sections that connect together, as that changes what will fit through a doorway; this isn't assumed here, so confirm it on the product page or with our team. If there's any doubt, call us on 02476 705 600 before ordering.
A corner sofa is a great way to make the most of a room, tucking seating into a corner and freeing up floor space. Plan a clear route to the window and radiator, and decide whether you want the long run or chaise facing the television. In a smaller room, keep the sofa to two walls and the open side facing into the room; in a larger or open-plan space, a corner sofa can help zone the seating area from a walkway or dining zone. Getting the orientation right at the planning stage makes far more difference than any styling choice afterwards.
It's also worth thinking about traffic flow and the television. A corner sofa naturally creates a focal point, so position it so the main run faces whatever the room is centred on, and keep at least a clear walkway behind or beside it. In an open-plan space, the back of the sofa can act as a soft divider between the seating area and a dining or circulation zone, which is one of the main reasons corner sofas suit larger rooms so well.
The range spans grey, beige, navy, silver, nutmeg and chocolate. Greys and silver are easy to build a scheme around and keep a large sofa feeling light; beige and nutmeg add warmth; chocolate is rich and forgiving of everyday marks; and navy makes a confident, characterful statement. On a sofa this size the colour makes a big impact, so it's worth seeing a fabric sample or visiting the showroom, as on-screen colours can differ slightly. Lift the seating with a few cushions and a throw, and a rug to anchor the corner. Compare our wider grey sofas range for more of the neutral looks.
Always follow the product-specific care instructions on the product page or supplied with your order. As a general routine, blot spills promptly with a clean, dry or slightly damp cloth rather than rubbing, and vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment to lift dust. Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive tools, and keep the sofa out of prolonged direct sunlight and away from excessive heat such as radiators.
Availability is shown live on each product, and most of the range is in stock. A few lines are currently out of stock or showing low stock — you can register for a back-in-stock alert on anything unavailable, and it's worth ordering promptly if a model shows only a few left. Delivery is free to England and Wales by a two-person team, and delivery times can vary by product, so take the timeframe from the live product card rather than assuming one date. Because a corner sofa is large, our team will talk through access with you where needed. You can spread the cost with interest-free finance, subject to credit check — see the finance information page. If you change your mind, our 14-day returns policy applies; details are on the returns information and delivery information pages.
