Our Favorite Sofas for Small Spaces of 2024
When you live in a small house or a tiny apartment, you have to be strategic and discerning about what you put in it, and that includes your living room furniture. A sofa for a small space will provide you with enough room to sit and lounge comfortably but not take over the entire room. “For a small space, you need to consider the visual weight,” says Devin Shaffer, lead interior designer at Decorilla.
To find the top sofas for small spaces, we researched countless styles while considering factors like dimensions, upholstery, and cushion filling. In addition to Shaffer, we also spoke to Amanda Wiss, founder of NYC-based home staging company Urban Staging. Here are the best small sofas to complement your room and style, whether you’re looking for a sleeper, modular, sectional, leather sofa, or something else.

You can customize pretty much everything, including the depth, size, fabric, and leg finish.

If you want the couch in one of the non-stocked options, delivery can take longer.
The Room & Board Metro Sofa has a streamlined design that will complement any style, and the solid construction will last you for years to come. The sofa comes in a standard depth or a deep depth if you really like to sink into your couch, and there are seven different size options, including at least two that are small-space friendly (65 and 75 inches).
Our favorite thing about Room & Board sofas is that they're built to last—this one has a hardwood frame and foam cushions that are wrapped in fiber, feather, and down, creating a nice balance of firmness and plushness. With over 200 color options, you’ll have no problems finding a fabric that matches your aesthetic, and you can order free color swatches ahead of time if you want to see a color in person before ordering. In addition to the size, depth, and upholstery, you can also customize the leg finish. Stocked options ship quickly, while made-to-order sofas will take several weeks to ship.
Another great thing about Room & Board is the customer service. Full-service delivery includes assembly, placement, and packaging removal with a flat fee of $119 anywhere in the contiguous United States. You can also return your furniture for free, which is pretty much unheard of in the furniture world, as well as cancel custom orders with no fee.

It has a wood frame, which is rare considering the price.

It requires some assembly.
Sofas don’t have to break the bank, and one of the best places to shop for affordable yet stylish couches is Wayfair. Plus, Wayfair allows you to filter sofas by exact dimensions, so it’s a particularly great retailer if you need a very specific size. We’re big fans of the Mercury Row Brumback Velvet Sofa, which stands out because of its affordable mid-century modern design.
Not only is this sofa stylish, but it has a eucalyptus wood frame, not a manufactured wood frame. You usually have to sacrifice durability if you want to save money on furniture, so this feature is definitely a standout. We also love that the velvet fabric is tear-resistant. The sofa comes with two throw pillows as well, giving it a streamlined appearance. On the down side, it’s only available in two colors, plus some assembly is required (about 30 minutes), but all the necessary tools are included.
