How to Plan a Togo-Style Corner Sofa: Layouts and Sizes
A Togo sofa replica corner sectional is not a single product — it is a configuration decision you make before you order anything, and getting the module count and corner orientation wrong is the fastest way to end up with a lounge corner that never quite fits.
Key takeaways
- Corner layouts are built around the Curve Sofa (102 x 102 cm), with a seat or sofa on each side.
- Each arm of the L = 102 cm + the width of the piece next to it.
- Every piece is about a metre deep, so allow walkway space in front of both arms.
- Order all pieces at the same time, in the same cover, so the colours match.
- If your room has no usable corner, a straight sofa with an ottoman may work better.
How a Togo-style corner sofa works
Unlike a fixed corner sofa, a Togo-style corner is made from individual pieces that stand side by side. The Mobelaris Comfort Style range has five pieces, all with a seat height of about 38 cm and a depth of about a metre, so they line up neatly:
Because the pieces are separate, you can rearrange them later, split them across two walls, or add to the layout over time.
Three corner layouts with real sizes
Each arm length below is the corner piece (102 cm) plus the piece beside it. Sizes are approximate and don't include any gap you leave between pieces.
You can also mix sides. For example, a 2-Seater + Curve Sofa + Lounge Sofa gives one arm of about 235 cm and one of about 191 cm, which suits a corner where one wall is shorter or has a door.
How to plan your corner layout
1. Measure both walls
Measure each wall from the corner to the nearest obstacle: a door, radiator, window or other furniture. Note doors that open inwards, and sockets you will need to reach.
2. Choose a piece for each side
Match each wall to an arm length from the table. If one wall is shorter, use a smaller piece on that side. Leave a little breathing space at the end of each arm, so the sofa doesn't look squeezed in.
3. Tape the footprint on the floor
Mark the full L-shape on the floor with masking tape, including the depth of each arm. Walk around it for a day. This is the quickest way to spot a layout that blocks a door or a walkway.
4. Check the walkways
Keep at least 90 cm of clear space in front of both arms, and make sure the main route through the room isn't squeezed. If it is, drop down a size on one side.
5. Check access to your home
Each piece arrives fully assembled, so measure your front door, hallways, stairs and lift for the largest piece you are ordering. The 3-Seater is 175 x 101 cm, plus packaging.
6. Order all pieces together
Upholstery colours can vary slightly between production runs. To make sure every piece matches, order the whole layout at the same time, in the same cover.
Adding the ottoman
The Sofa Ottoman is 38 cm high, level with the seats, so it lines up with any piece. In a corner layout it works well in front of one arm, as a footrest or an extra seat, or slightly away from the sofa as a low table with a tray on top. Leave walking space around it.
When a corner layout isn't the right choice
A corner layout needs a genuine corner with two clear walls. If your room has doors or windows on both walls, or you want to float the sofa in an open-plan space, a straight sofa with an ottoman, or two single seats facing each other, may work better. See our guide to Togo-style sofas for small spaces for alternative layouts.
Styling a corner sofa
A corner sofa is a big shape, so give it a big rug: around 240 x 340 cm, or two layered rugs, with the front of both arms resting on it. Add a floor lamp at the open end of one arm, and keep the coffee table low. For more ideas, see how to style a Togo-style sofa.
Frequently asked questions
How big is a Togo-style corner sofa?
It depends on the pieces you combine. Using the Mobelaris Curve Sofa (102 cm square) as the corner, a compact L with two single seats has arms of about 191 cm, two 2-seaters give about 235 cm, and two 3-seaters about 277 cm. Every arm is about a metre deep.
How many pieces do I need for an L-shaped Togo-style sofa?
At least three: the Curve Sofa for the corner, and one seat or sofa on each side. You can add an ottoman as a fourth piece. Pick the side pieces to suit the length of each wall.
Can I add to a Togo-style corner sofa later?
Yes, because the pieces stand separately, you can add a seat, sofa or ottoman later. For the best colour match, though, it is safest to order all the pieces you plan to use at the same time, in the same cover.
Do the corner pieces need assembling?
No. Each Mobelaris Comfort Style piece arrives fully assembled, as a single shaped foam body. You simply place the pieces side by side. Check that your doorways and stairs can take the largest piece before you order.
Is a corner sofa a good idea in a small living room?
It can be, if you choose small side pieces. A compact L with two single seats has arms of about 191 cm and uses a corner that might otherwise be empty. In a narrow room or one with doors on both walls, a straight 2-seater is usually easier.
The bottom line
Plan a Togo-style corner sofa around the corner piece: add 102 cm to the width of each side piece to get the arm lengths, tape the L on the floor, check the walkways, and order everything together. Get the footprint right first, and the rest of the room will follow.
