Chenille Corner Sofas

What is chenille fabric, and why choose it for a corner sofa?

Chenille is a woven fabric with a soft, slightly fuzzy pile, similar in feel to velvet corner sofas but with a more textured, casual finish. On a chenille corner sofa, that texture catches the light differently across a bigger surface area, which is part of why it works well on a larger piece rather than just an accent chair. It also has a warmer, more relaxed look than a smooth weave, which suits an everyday family living room rather than a more formal setting.

Is chenille hard-wearing enough for a family living room?

Yes! Chenille is a tightly woven fabric that withstands daily use well, and its texture is generally more forgiving than a flat weave at hiding light pressure marks and everyday wear. Like any fabric, it needs proper care to stay looking its best. Our full fabric care guide covers this in more detail.

What size chenille corner sofa should I get?

Seat counts range from 2-seater corner designs to full 6-seat chenille corner sofas, with widths from around 230cm to 290cm, so there's a genuine difference between the smallest and largest options here. The right size depends on your room size and your needs. Our sofa measuring guide will help you check the fit before you order.

If a corner shape won't fit your room, our 2 seater, 3 seater and loveseat collections are worth a look instead.  

What type of chenille corner sofa should I choose?

Beyond size, the main choices are left- or right-hand facing and chenille corner sofas with or without storage.

• Chenille corner sofa beds: Great for when guests come round. Choose a chaise-fold or pull-out mechanism, with or without a storage box underneath. Some of our chenille corner sofa beds come with features such as a separate ottoman and storage. 
• Chenille corner sofa with ottoman: Available in left-hand or right-hand facing, our Lugano model comes with a separate ottoman storage box rather than a fold-out bed, great for storing any extras. 
  
• Standard chenille corner sofas: These offer just a chaise or a fixed L-shape and come in various versions such as 2C1, 1C2, 2C2 (number of seats followed by chaise and the number of seats), and a choice between left-hand and right-hand facing. 

What's the difference between our chenille corner sofas and corner sofa beds?

Most of our chenille corner sofa range also works as a sofa bed. Amelia, Archie, Wilson, Arthur and Harry models use either a chaise-fold mechanism, where the chaise section lifts and folds down to reveal the bed, or a pull-out mechanism, where the frame pulls forward and unfolds, both come with built-in storage underneath. Jack, Nathan, Elliot, Logan and Hamilton are corner sofas only, without a bed function, and Lugano and Alfie/George trade the bed for a practical ottoman or storage box instead. If you specifically want the sofa bed function, our corner sofa bed buying guide walks through what to look for, and our why every home needs a sofa with storage piece covers the storage side.

Chenille corner sofa styles & colours

Our chenille l-shaped sofas come in the same textured style and a range of colours. The Oscar model uses a more visibly woven chenille texture if you want something with a bit more grain, while Amelia and Archie keep the weave finer and smoother. You can also browse this fabric by colour: 

• Beige sofas: the largest colour group in this range, and for good reason: beige chenille corner sofas sit easily against most wall colours and flooring, so it's a safe choice if you're not redecorating the whole room. It also shows less obvious fading over time than darker shades, since there's less contrast to begin with.
• Grey sofas: the second-largest group here, and the most versatile neutral. A grey chenille corner sofa works in both contemporary and more traditional living rooms, and it's forgiving of everyday marks, which makes it a practical option for a family living room that gets daily use.
• Green sofas: a strong option if you want more personality without committing to a bold colour. Green chenille corner sofas pair naturally with wood tones and warmer accents, and work particularly well in a room with plenty of natural light or houseplants, where they echo the space rather than fighting it.
  
• Blue sofas: a calmer, more contemporary choice, best suited to living rooms styled around a cooler palette. Blue chenille corner sofas read a little more considered than beige or grey, without being as bold a statement as green.
  
• Brown sofas: the smallest group here, but a good fit if you want a warmer, more traditional alternative to grey. Brown chenille corner sofas tend to suit rooms with wood furniture or a more classic colour scheme, and hide everyday wear well thanks to the tone's depth.

How do I clean and care for a chenille corner sofa?

Brush the pile in one direction to lift flattened patches, vacuum regularly on a low suction setting, and blot spills straight away with a dry cloth rather than rubbing them in. Avoid soaking the fabric when spot cleaning. Our sofa maintenance and care guide has more general upkeep advice alongside the fabric-specific tips above.
