There’s nothing more adult than buying a couch of your very own, in my opinion. However, most “starter” homes and apartments won’t fit the giant, plush sectional of your dreams just yet. If you still want a place to lounge and entertain, you have to find a sofa that works for the space. But don’t let a small living room get you down! Here are some amazing options for kicking back in a small spaces.

Classic

If you’re going for a classic, toned-down look, we recommended a simple, squishy sofa or loveseat in neutral colors.

Prints and Patterns

Settee

Usually featuring a higher back and arms, a settee is a great way to fill an extra-small space with sophisticated seating. Nailheads can add extra texture.

Armless

If you are really tight on space, an armless sofa is a great way to conserve space and allows more room for side tables, lamps, etc.
