The quick answer

Yes, within limits: a custom L-shaped floor sofa is built from two sofas resized to your wall runs, each section 39 in (100 cm) deep. A 90 x 65 in L used one 65 in and one 51 in sofa. The depth stays at 39 in, because 27 in is too narrow once backrests are on, and the ottoman and lounge chair are fixed sizes.

Turn two walls into two sofa lengths

  1. Measure both walls

    Long run and short run, in inches, at floor level where the sofa will sit.

  2. Give the short wall one whole sofa

    Short-side sofa = short run. In a 90 x 65 in space, that is 65 in.

  3. Subtract 39 in from the long wall

    The short-side sofa's 39 in (100 cm) depth fills the corner, so long-side sofa = long run minus 39 in. 90 - 39 = 51 in.

  4. Leave the depth alone

    Sections stay 39 in deep. At 27 in, the seat is too narrow once the backrests are on.

  5. Ask for a custom link

    A custom L took about 7 days to make, plus 3-5 days of delivery.

What won't stretch, and the workaround

Angles are just lengths in disguise, and a square L corner is the friendliest angle there is. The hard limits sit elsewhere. The ottoman is a fixed 39 x 39 in, the floor lounge chair's seat is a fixed 43 x 43 in, and the corner version's long side tops out around 94 in.

When a room can't give up 39 in of depth, the workshop's answer has been one custom-length sofa, 65 in in one case, plus the standard ottoman. The layouts Pattern and the small-apartment floor sofa sketches show more arrangements for a modular floor sofa. What are your two wall runs, partner?

A 90 x 65 in L-shaped floor sofa is two straight sofas, 65 in and 51 in, because 39 in of depth fills the corner.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Can you build the floor sofa as an L to my wall-to-wall size, 27 in deep?

    The workshop's answer

    Partly. A 27 in seat depth is too narrow once the backrests are on, so the workshop suggested one custom 65 in sofa plus a standard 39 x 39 in ottoman. The ottoman width and the floor lounge chair's 43 x 43 in seat can't be changed.

  2. A common question

    Can you make a smaller L-shaped floor sofa that fits in 90 x 65 inches?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Each sofa is 39 in deep, so the L is one 65 in sofa and one 51 in sofa, 65 x 90 in overall; that order took about 7 days of production and 3-5 days of delivery.

  3. A common question

    Can you make an L-shaped sectional at 110¼ x 61 in (280 x 155 cm)?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Each section is 39 in (100 cm) deep, so two floor sofas are resized to runs of about 71 in (180 cm) and 61 in (155 cm) and sold through a custom link.

  4. A common question

    How long can the corner sofa go? I want about 110 in on one side.

    The workshop's answer

    The long side can go up to about 94 in. The other side is 39 + 39 = 78 in, the sofa plus the ottoman.

Questions buyers ask next

Can a single floor sofa be made narrower instead of an L?

Yes. Order the standard sofa and write your width in the note, for example 60, 65 or 70 in (150-180 cm). Narrowed sofas have cost the same as the standard size but spent longer in production; ask for the current estimate in writing.

What bed size do the floor sofa mattresses make?

Each mattress is 39 x 79 in, close to Twin XL, so Twin XL sheets fit. Two side by side make about 79 x 79 in, and adding the ottoman takes it to about 79 x 119 in.

Which sofas come in standard sizes only?

The linen floor sofa, the fold-flat lounger and the bouclé modular couch. Bouclé modules are sold separately, though, so you can still build your own layout from the standard pieces.
