Want to find bespoke furniture that’s made to fit your space and style? Here are 5 expert tips

Whether you’re looking for a space-saving solution like a corner sofa, or you want a hand in choosing its style, shape and size, this is where to do it.

When it comes to making your house a home, the furniture is one of the most important elements in making a space your own. Regardless of the size of the area or your spending budget, we all want to find the right pieces that speak to the aesthetic you’re trying to create. That’s where Finline Furniture comes in.

An Irish business with over 40 years of experience handcrafting beautiful furniture, Finline Furniture pride themselves on delivering high quality from their family to yours. Born out of a vision to deliver such quality, the company was established in 1979 on the edge of the quaint village of Emo, Co Laois, and remains a family-owned and operated affair to this day.

Finline

At Finline, they believe selecting a piece of furniture is experiential from the outset; from the feel of the material to the firmness of the filling, the size, shape, colour, and everything in between. Every item is handcrafted to order in their factory in Co Laois, by their team of over 40 skilled craftspeople.

Renowned for quality, comfort and sustainability, Finline design and make furniture that lasts, and one of their main areas of expertise is helping you find a versatile corner sofa that will transform your living room into a space that reflects both style and functionality.

Understanding the importance of optimising your room layout to create a warm and inviting ambiance, Finline have laid out five different options that cater to various room layouts and design aesthetics. Here’s some expert intel that will help you make the right choice…

Finline

The Classic L-Shape

The L-shaped configuration is the go-to arrangement for corner sofas, offering ample seating space while making efficient use of corners. This layout is perfect for open-plan living areas, providing a comfortable spot for family gatherings and movie nights.

Room Divider

In spacious living rooms, a corner sofa can be strategically placed to serve as a stylish room divider. This setup defines different zones within the room, adding a touch of elegance and functionality to your living space and still accomplishing a creative look.

Corner Sectional with Chaise Lounge

Finline has various corner sofas in this category, such as the luxurious Hudson Corner Sofa, the Baltimore Corner Sofa. A corner sofa with an extended chaise lounge is an excellent choice for lounging and relaxation. Stretch out on the chaise to read a book, watch TV, or simply unwind after a long day.

Finline

Floating Corner Sofa

For a contemporary and open feel, consider placing your corner sofa away from the walls. This “floating” arrangement adds an element of visual interest and creates an airy ambiance that forms an illusion of spaciousness in the room.

Pairing with Accent Chairs

Complement your corner sofa with stylish accent chairs to add extra seating options and create a well-balanced, chic living room arrangement.
