French Days Furnishings

A sofa is chosen on three measurements: the front width, the depth and the passageway leading to the living room. This selection brings together straight models, corner sofas, large modular corner sofas, a panoramic sofa and a sofa bed with storage.

Modular sofas can be rearranged

A modular sofa is thought of in units rather than as a fixed silhouette. The same set can be configured as a left corner, a right corner, a large corner or a panoramic sofa, and an ottoman sometimes extends the chaise. This is the choice to make when the living room layout may still change.

Reading the dimensions in the name

Dimensions often appear in the model name: 256 cm across the front, then 167 or 178 cm on the return depending on the version. Mark these two figures on the floor with tape before deciding, and compare the package dimensions, given on the product page, with the width of your passageway.

The sofa bed and its storage

A sofa bed with storage plays two roles in the same footprint: daytime seating, a bed for guests, and the duvet tucked away under the seat. Allow clearance in front of the sofa: the coffee table must be able to move back without hitting a wall.

Frequently asked questions

Left or right corner, how do I decide?

Stand facing the sofa: the side stated is the one where the long section starts. In a room people walk through, run the return along the most open wall.

What room width for a large corner sofa?

Allow for the model's front width, plus at least sixty centimeters to walk in front of it. With less than three and a half meters of wall, a compact corner sofa is a better fit than a panoramic one.

Is a sofa bed suitable for sleeping on every night?

It is designed for occasional use and for visiting guests. For everyday sleeping, a real mattress remains far more comfortable over time.
