Not every living or family room has enough space for a gigantic sectional to seat 9-10 plus the family pets. If you live in an apartment or small house, you are probably trying to squeeze as many pieces and functional items as possible into your small rooms. Consider then, the love seat.
Let’s face it, most of the time, your 3-person sofa ends up seating two anyway, Maybe just embrace that, and use a love seat with arm chairs or even two facing love seats instead. A typical three-cushion sofa is 84 – 90 inches wide, while a love seat with two cushions is usually 60 inches, so that frees up 2 feet of space. Once you move into your “big” house, you can send your love seat(s) off to bedroom or office duty, or even to provide soft seating in the breakfast room.
The smaller size of the love seat works tidily under a double window or tucked into any place you want to add seating instead of a bench or two chairs. The only thing that’s not hot right now in seating trends? The matching sofa / love seat combo, which looks straight out of the 50s.
