Advantages and disadvantages

The products of the famous brand "Ikea" are characterized by the same practicality and functionality, which is why it is loved all over the world. But this is not the only list of advantages of Swedish corner sofas; furniture is characterized by:

• compactness;
• universality;
• durability;
• spaciousness;
• affordability.

Ikea corner sofas are mass-produced, so the products are successfully combined with any modern interior of an apartment or a country house. Almost all models are equipped with a large drawer in the ottoman; there is a protective cover designed just for this furniture. A separate product line of economy class is another plus for many fans of the brand.

The Ikea company provides a 10-year warranty on each of the corner sofa models.

Not without flaws: Ikea furniture is supplied disassembled, and the manufacturer does not provide services for its assembly. Installation has to be done independently, understanding all the intricacies of the process according to the instructions, or involving specialists from the outside, which translates into additional financial expenses.

Varieties

Sofa from "Ikea" can be offered:

1. In the classic version - smooth outlines of the corner module, a comfortable backrest tilt around the entire perimeter, armrests from two edges.
2. In the form of a trapezoid, when only a large part is equipped with a back, and the attached element is limited to the armrest. In this case, there is a large linen box under it.

According to one or another criteria, the following varieties of Ikea corner sofas can be distinguished:

1. Structurally - integral and modular models. If the former do not imply any changes after assembly, the latter are equipped with removable side elements, the location of which can be varied as you wish.
2. If possible, transformations are monolithic and folding. The former are designed for daytime rest and cannot be used for sleep. The second can transform into a bed, be orthopedic, designed for constant sleep. The corner sofa beds in the unfolded position are large, the transformation is carried out without unnecessary efforts, for this, the well-known dolphin mechanism is used. Even if the furniture is not orthopedic, it is still characterized by increased elasticity due to the use of polyurethane foam and polyester wool as a filler.
3. At the location, the sofas are divided into products for the living room and kitchen, respectively, their dimensions and upholstery options will be different.
4. Guest models that do not provide for daily intensive use are distinguished as a separate category.

Corner sofas from "Ikea" suggest both traditional placement in the corner, and in the center of the room for its zoning, so the back wall of the furniture is decorated no less carefully than the facade.

Materials of manufacture

Ikea "corner" frame is made of pine, metal or fiberboard. Steel models are the strongest, but they make the product heavier. The main advantage of pine is its environmental friendliness, spectacular appearance, resistance to temperature changes and high humidity. Disadvantages - the large weight of the frame. Fiberboard, contrary to common misconceptions, does not cause allergies and does not emit harmful substances, therefore, such products can be safely chosen for a children's room. Pros - affordable price, low weight. Minus - fiberboard does not look as respectable as a tree.

For upholstery, textiles and eco-leather are used. The main advantages of tapestry fabric are affordable cost and ease of maintenance. The disadvantage is a short service life, quick wear (especially if the furniture is in the children's room). Faux leather looks impressive and does not cause allergic reactions, but it costs more. Such a sofa is easy to wipe from dust, but when removing complex stains, you will have to work hard and even use chemical solvents.

Textile models are usually equipped with protective covers. Special wipes are attached to eco-leather models, they need to be moistened in soapy water and wiped the surface of the sofa as it becomes dirty. Cleaning is recommended weekly.

Products with fabric upholstery are suitable for home interiors, and leather sofas - for offices and halls of hotels (hotels), restaurants. In the apartment, eco-leather will look spectacular in the hallway or in the kitchen (the so-called "guest" option).

Experts recommend choosing the color of the corner sofa with an eye on the design of the walls, floor and ceiling. Additional accessories made of textile or leather (pillows, protective cover) can be combined in color with furniture or be made in contrasting colors.

For small apartments it is better to choose models of discreet, pastel colors, and for large spacious rooms - bright. If the sofa is of a non-standard color, at least one more companion accessory should be in the room.
