So what is the problem with small rooms?
Small rooms are often difficult to furnish. You want to maximise the use of space, which makes armchairs a problem because, although an armchair is smaller than a sofa, two armchairs are definitely not. After all, if you opt for a couple of armchairs over a single sofa, you will need space for four arms instead of two!

So what are the options for corner sofas?
These days, corner sofas, which are often referred to as sectional sofas or corner units, come in a wide variety of colours and styles.
