Creating a Cosy Living Room: The Best Sofas for Small Spaces

Posted on by Chris Hopkins

How to choose your perfect sofa.

Creating a cosy living room in a small space can be challenging, but the right sofa can make all the difference. In this guide, we’ll explore the best sofas for small spaces and provide tips on how to maximise comfort and style in a compact living room.

Best Sofas for Small Spaces

  1. Compact Sofas: Choose a compact sofa that fits comfortably in your small living room. Look for slim designs with clean lines to avoid overwhelming the space.
  2. Corner Sofas: Corner sofas are a great option for small spaces as they fit neatly into corners and maximise seating without taking up too much floor space.
  3. Sofas with Low Arms: Sofas with low or no arms create the illusion of more space and provide a larger seating area. They can fit into awkwardly shaped nooks and make the room feel more open.
  4. Sofas with Legs: Sofas with legs create the illusion of more floor space, making small areas feel less cramped. You might also be able to use the space underneath for storage.
  5. Modular Sofas: Modular sofas can be customised to fit your small space perfectly. Choose sofa sections that fit neatly into the shape of the room to meet your needs.
  6. Chaise Sofas: Chaise sofas provide comfortable seating with an additional area that can be used as a footstool or extra seating for guests.

Tips for Choosing a Sofa for a Small Space

  1. Measure Your Space: Use a tape measure to map out the area where the sofa will go. Ensure there is enough space for other furniture and easy movement.
  2. Check the Sofa’s Dimensions: Pay attention to the sofa’s length, depth, and height. Ensure the sofa fits comfortably in your space without overwhelming it.
  3. Consider Multifunctional Sofas: Opt for a multifunctional piece such as a sofa bed or a sofa with storage to increase functionality.
  4. Avoid Bulky Designs: Choose slim and sleek sofa designs to avoid making the room feel cramped. Avoid large, bulky sofas with wide arms.
  5. Use Light Colours: Light-coloured sofas can make a small room feel larger and more open. Choose colors like beige, grey, or white to create a bright and airy atmosphere.
