Hello
we are currently looking for a sofa
We want a U-shaped sectional sofa and it should be as large as possible.
I have attached the floor plan
Dimensions: Red approx. 355cm (measured from inside edge of tile base), Yellow 175cm (69.3 inches)
We have chosen a sectional sofa that is 352cm (138.6 inches) wide
This will fill the niche almost completely
What are your thoughts on this?

For my personal comfort, I would never fill walls so completely, and especially not just with a sofa. I find it nicer when there are free spaces left and some variation in height. Side tables, floor lamps, a sofa, pictures, etc., add variety.
But the question is whether you want what an interior designer would recommend – and that also depends on the style of living – or whether you prefer to do what you like yourself.
It will look cramped anyway if only about 3cm (1 inch) of space is left on the side.
Also keep in mind that with a U-shaped arrangement, only a smaller coffee table fits in between, unlike with an L-shaped one. Maybe you don’t need a large one, but I would plan for it right from the start. For example, we often use ours for snacks, drinks, and decorations.

For example, we often use ours for snacks, drinks, and decorations. We are aware of that. There is about 140cm (55 inches) of space between the two arms, which would be enough for a 60x60cm (24x24 inches) table.

Maybe you want curtains at the windows after all… That would be impossible with that layout size. We don’t want curtains.
Alternatively, we found one with a width of 349cm (137 inches) and another with a layout width of 347cm (137 inches).
I’ll repeat with green adjustments

Where exactly are the 347–353 cm (115–117 inches) of the sectional sofas measured? Are these actual dimensions or just catalog sizes, where perhaps an armrest might be a bit wider/deeper?
Cramped arrangements will look modest. Generally, even corner units need surface space—whether for decoration, a drinking glass, a phone, a magazine, reading glasses, a remote control, a nail case, table lamps (!), or snacks.
Not much will fit on that. It also won’t be within easy reach.
Lounge areas need space to make an impact and allow the user to spread out while using them. Most people do more than just sit or lie down. Even when relaxing, you usually have things to manage. I would go up to a maximum of 3 meters (10 feet) and arrange it only in an L-shape to keep options open.
