In furnishing, as in everything else, fashions come and go, but the good ones return again and again. Corner sofas are making a big comeback in many modern homes. One of the great things about a corner sofa is that it can be small and cosy enough for two, or large enough to accommodate the whole family. Modern corner sofas often have a recliner at one or both ends and come in a variety of fabrics or leathers, depending on your preference.
One of the easiest ways to update your home is with new furniture. A new sofa can give a completely different look to what you may have thought was a tired looking room. Just take a look at cornersofa.co.uk and you will see that there is a huge choice of corner sofas available, one to fit in almost any setting.
A corner sofa takes up less room than a sofa and matching chairs, which makes it an ideal choice for a smaller room. If you don’t have a lot of space for overnight guests, then a corner sofa bed might be the answer to your problems. One of our fabulous corner sofa beds could be just the thing to ensure that your guests enjoy a restful night’s sleep.
You will find that good leather corner sofas are finished to the highest specifications and will be an attractive feature in your home for years to come. Modern leather corner sofas can be extended at one end to suit your individual needs, whether you want to relax in front of the television or lie back and close your eyes.
You will find a leather corner sofa to fit the overall colour scheme of your home and you can always alter the look with extra cushions. Fabric corner sofas are a good choice, especially for the more traditional home and they come in a wide range of colour and pattern choices. It is not a hard task to update your home; a change of curtains, a new rug, and a hard wearing and comfortable corner sofa are all you really need.

 Patchwork sofa We’ve had a few requests from people wanting to know where they could buy a bright, contemporary patchwork sofa – and you can’t get much brighter than this Marrakech patchwork sofa!
This stunning three seater sofa is made from a solid beechwood frame and has been upholstered in an array of colourful Designers Guild fabrics to create an eye-catching patchwork design. Even if the rest of a room is plain and simple, this bright sofa would liven it up no end.
The Marrakech patchwork sofa is created by designer Deborah Swift, from Couch GB, and is priced at £4250.
Couch also produce a range of other vibrant furniture including the Mandalay patchwork chair and the Avignon patchwork footstool that we featured previously.

There are some great sofas available that combine the retro 1950s style with contemporary design and this is just one of them. The simple and elegant lines of this Mistral sofa, which is exclusive to Heal’s, with its buttoned back cushions and small cone oak feet come together to provide a stylish and comfortable sofa.
The texured wool olive green fabric is a lovely colour (expect to see more fresh green trends in furniture and homeware as new spring 2011 arrivals emerge) and works well with the light oak feet.
If green isn’t for you, other colours are available, including cocoa, mushroom, emerald and puce.
The Mistral sofa is available in two sizes, plus there’s a matching one person love seat, and all options are currently reduced in the Heal’s sale. The Mistral medium sofa is now £1480, the large sofa is £1560 and and the loveseat is £1140.

 Tuscany leather sofa If you thought a customisable leather sofa would be out of your price range, then think again.
This stylish Tuscany leather sofa is available from Next, where you can choose which type of leather you’d like (Italian leather, Dallas leather or Rio leather), which colour shade you’d prefer (tan, black or dark brown) and which size of sofa, sofabed, seat or charir you’d like.
A medium Tuscany leather sofa in dark brown Italian leather, for example, comes in at £999, an extra large sofa is £1049 and a super functional, medium sized sofa bed is only slightly more at £1199. A matching chair and the nicely named ‘Snuggle Seat’ are available too and you can stick to the same type or colour of leather for everything, or mix and match.
With proper care and attention, a leather sofa can last for years, so it’s a good investment to make for a piece of furniture for your living room.
To find out more about the options available in the Tuscany leather sofa and chair range, head over to Next.

 Sink down into a chaise longue We love classic pieces of furniture that have been given a contemporary twist, so couldn’t help but like this gorgeous chaise longue when we spotted it at Mooch.
The elegantly shaped chaise longue (or ‘long chair’) is given a stylish and up-to-date feel by the colourful, stripy Designers Guild chenile fabric and the lime upholstering. The piece is finished off with beech feet and the matching cushions are available to purchase separately.
It looks great, but would also be a comfortable piece of furniture on which to relax, unwind, and put your feet up, after a busy day.
The stripy chaise longue is available from Mooch.

 Ginny Avison patchwork sofa
I’ve got a bit of a thing at the moment for patchwork sofas. I saw a lovely one on display in a Cath Kidston shop last week (yes, really – it was a little bit shabby chic, but not too bad) and a patchwork-like sofa in Ikea today, that was more contemporary in style.
But now I’ve found Ginny Avison, who specialises in designing patchwork furniture, and think this vibrant Wow sofa is gorgeous.
The sofa is a classic Chesterfield shape, with curved arms, and it’s been upholstered in a vibrant array of diamond shaped patchwork pieces. It would be a wonderful splash of colour to have in a room – in fact, you could get away with having it as the only major colour provider in a room.
The Wow sofa is available in small, medium or grande sizes and, if vibrant colours aren’t your cup of tea, you can choose more muted shades or even design your own colour scheme.
Find out more about the sofa, and other patchwork furniture, on Ginny Avison’s website.
