L-shaped

Bent at ninety

L-shaped describes something that forms a right angle, resembling the capital letter L.

The term most commonly applies to rooms, desks, buildings, or plots of land where two rectangular sections meet at ninety degrees.

An L-shaped kitchen typically wraps around a corner, and an L-shaped couch or sectional fits into a corner of a room.

The configuration often maximizes use of corner spaces.
