Wallpaper behind a corner sofa: getting the framing right

A corner sofa takes up a large part of the lower wall. The decor must therefore be chosen with this presence in mind. A beautiful visual can lose its appeal if its main subject disappears behind the backrest.

Map out the obstacles

On a photo of the wall, indicate the height of the sofa, the chaise longue, and any shelves. This little sketch helps identify the area that will remain visible. It also allows you to see whether the view is mainly from the front or from the side.

Move the subject without distorting the decor

Compare several positions in the configurator. A clearing or a group of flowers can be shifted towards the open part of the living room. Use the framing to position the image; avoid choosing a zoom solely to hide an unsightly element without looking at what it cuts off elsewhere.

Connect the two sides of the room

A cushion featuring a color from the wallpaper can complement the return of the sofa. The other wall can remain more understated. Before confirming, check the final dimensions, the visibility of the subject, and the junction with sockets or wall lights.
