How to size it
Measure the wall and leave at least 90cm of walkway in front and beside the sofa. Mark the footprint on the floor with tape before you buy. Our sofa size guide walks you through it.
Tricks that make a small room feel bigger
- Choose a sofa with visible legs so you can see floor underneath.
- Pick a lighter colour, or a warm leather that does not dominate.
- Use a round coffee table to keep walkways clear.
- Mount the TV and keep side tables slim.
Common questions
What is the best sofa for a small living room?
A compact 3 seater with visible legs, or a 3 seater with chaise if you want to stretch out. Leave at least 90cm of walkway around it.
Is a chaise sofa OK in a small room?
Yes, if it fits the corner. A 3 seater with chaise gives lounging space in less room than a full corner sofa.
Leather or fabric for a small room?
Either works. Light fabrics make a room feel brighter, while warm tan or cognac leather adds character without overwhelming the space.
