Best Large Sofas for Large Families

 

There’s nothing better than cuddling up on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon with the family. But not every day is a cuddling kind of day. Some days, it’s nice to have a little bit of space, a chance to stretch out and relax. And if you have a large family, then a large sofa is the answer.

Depending on the space of your room, there is a real range to choose from, depending on the style, material and of course, colour. Here’s our rundown of the best large sofas for large families.

 

1.    Corner Sofas

 

It goes without saying that a large corner sofa ticks all the boxes when it comes to offering space, style and comfort, perfect for all the family. If you have the opportunity to run your sofa along two walls, a corner sofa can not only be the best option in terms of comfort and style, it can also utilise any potential dead space.

The material you choose will also have a big impact, especially when factoring younger children into the equation. A large leather corner sofa will be easy to keep clean, with any stains simply wiped up and while a considerable investment, if looked after properly, the sofa will still be around after the kids have grown up and gone to university! The question to bear in mind is comfort. The feel of leather doesn’t appeal to one and all, so it’s well worth a trip to a showroom to sit on a leather sofa and see if it’s right for your family.

Fabric or velvet offers a plethora of choice and can provide the same wow factor as a leather corner sofa. There are numerous styles to choose from, from Chesterfield corner sofas to traditional or modern styles. Ultimately, style and comfort need to go hand in hand – and all three offer both, it’s just a case of deciding which fits in with your living space.

2.    U-shaped Sofas

 

If your living space provides you with the opportunity to really go for it in terms of size, there are a few sofas that offer even more space than a large corner sofa. U-shaped sofas are not only a real design statement, but they also provide enough room for your immediate family, friends and neighbours!

Flexibility is a real advantage with a u-shaped sofa. Offering two corners and the opportunity to choose the size, whether it has recliners and even a sofa bed, make it a real winner. But a sofa of this size will dominate a room, so the decision to go for a u-shaped sofa needs real consideration and extremely careful measuring.

 

3.    Large Sofas

 

Corner sofas don’t suit every home and not everyone has the room to accommodate one. But that doesn’t mean there are no alternatives. There are plenty of large sofas available which provide lots of room and come in a real range of styles and colours. From mid-century modern sofas to recliner sofas (which tend to be a real favourite with children), Chesterfields and traditional sofas, a three-seater sofa can often be the ideal choice if working in a smaller space.
