Having started off primarily focusing on bedding, Dusk has now turned into a full fledged furniture store, being one of our go-to spots for everything from sofas and sofa beds to chests of drawers and bed frames. Perfect for simple, minimalist living rooms, its Brooklyn Corner Sofa has a well-earned spot in our ranking, stripping things back to basics and letting the rest of your room do the talking. In an ivory shade, it might be a bit of a risk if you have pets or children, or are just a bit accident prone, but if you’re able to go for it you’ll have yourself one sleek and contemporary-looking sofa. From the pocket-sprung seats to the chenille fabric, it looks straight out of a New York penthouse apartment. £1,599 £1,259. At dusk.com

• Fabric: Multiple options
• Dimensions: W213cm x H79cm x D87cm

This left-corner sofa is made to order, meaning you have a choice of some 57 different options for upholstery. That said, we’re deeply enamored by the burgundy shade that Swyft uses as default, which reminds us of late nights and outré lipsticks. The royal velvet almost shimmers on the wide padded cushions and sleek arms of the sofa, whose mid-century form is topped off at the bottom with narrow, angled legs. £2,299 £1,799. At swyfthome.com

Britain has a long history of tailoring, and it's no secret that British tailors have a reputation for being among some of the best in the world. Celebrating this through the form of a sleekly styled sofa (rogue, but we’ll take it), Heal’s Tailor is all about capturing the elegance and refinement that good tailoring exudes. Pair this with comfortable cushions that are feather-filled and deep to sit into, as well as a supportive base structure and frame that'll help you feel better after sitting for longer periods, and you have yourself a win. £5,038 £3,525.

Few and far between are the sofas that offer quite as much of a statement as Soho Home’s Truro, which will fit the main living space of your new villa on Santorini or Cap Ferrat nicely, or so we dream of it doing. Made to order, the modular sofa can be customised to whatever space it is intended for (and be aware that this means it might take 15-ish weeks to materialise), but one thing which is common to all orders is the Pierre Frey linen on the cushions and upholstery. The maison is the One Plus Ultra of fabrics, impossible to beat on this magnificent, low-slung, solid timber sofa. £10,995. At sohohome.com

• Fabric: 18 options available
• Dimensions: W250 x H74 x D150 cm

This is your classic three-seater leather sofa with a contemporary twist. With clean lines, an industrial form and burnished bronze-finished legs, it’s a piece that won’t ever look outdated, but can also be refreshed if your tastes change with various cushion styles. The freestanding footstool makes it a corner sofa and allows you to re-arrange from a left-handed sofa to a right-handed one. £4,428 £3,542.40. At westelm.co.uk

Did someone say Chesterfield? Taking on the look of one of the most popular sofa styles in the country and giving it a bit of a revamp to add in a few practical functions, Cox & Cox's Dora sofa is the corner iteration of the Chesterfield sofa we've long been waiting for. Available in two different styles, you can opt for the velvet fabric for a more opulent feel, or keep things chill and casual and go for the linen. Whichever you choose, you can be sure your corner will be majorly upgraded. £5,395. At coxandcox.co.uk

When you have a piece of furniture as substantial as a five-seater sofa, it can be easy to go wrong when choosing one. Opt for the wrong colour or fabric, and there’s no way to hide it. You need something that’s really elegant and stylish, and John Lewis’s Lozenge is exactly that. In a cream boucle material that fits seamlessly into almost any space, adding texture to contemporary aesthetics and a bit of contrast that can really juxtapose nicely with more vintage, retro interiors, it’s an all-around piece that you just can't go wrong with. £1,999.

Chesterfield sofas have plenty of history to them, with the design supposedly dating back to the 1700s, but Rose & Grey brings the brand (and corner sofas) straight into 2023 with a modern curved design. Looking a bit more interesting and easy on the eye than the harsher angles of most L-shaped sofas, the curve gives you plenty of space to lounge, while also adding some attractive lines. The shades also have a good range, and while our favourites are the deeper emerald and midnight blue, there are plenty of options that'll catch your eye. £5,495. At roseandgrey.co.uk

• Fabric: 170 fabric and colour options available including cotton, velvet and chenille
• Dimensions: Dependent on chosen configuration

There’s something about the sheer vastness of this corner sofa from Darlings of Chelsea that gives off an utterly luxurious feel. An ideal piece to use in that room that you just don’t know what to do with, it can really tie together your space by adding in plenty of extra seating, while also just really looking the part as well. The seat cushions are deep set and plump, creating a relaxing and inviting feel that’s ideal to design your lounge or living room around, while our favourite cotton velvet dark blue fabric adds a slightly regal tone to it, nicely contrasting with the relaxed look of the piece. There are plenty of other shades and fabrics available, should you prefer a different vibe, as well as the option to customise the piece with Darlings of Chelsea’s ‘Corner Sofa Builder’. We’d recommend playing around with the chaise and seat positions until you’ve got the right shape for your own unique space. £10,260 £6,888. At darlingsofchelsea.co.uk

• Fabric: 5 options available.
