Making Fabric Corner Sofas Work in South-Facing Rooms

A fabric corner sofa works well in a south facing room when you plan for the sunlight rather than fight it. Position the sofa so it is not in a direct beam of sun for hours each day, choose a fabric and colour that cope with strong light, and use window dressings that soften the glare without darkening the room.
