You say tomato, I say tom-ah-to; you say tiny, I say…charming. But let’s be real—shopping for a comfortable sofa when your living space is on the smaller side can feel like solving a puzzle (where none of the pieces quite fit). You want something that’s big enough to sprawl out on, but not so oversized it overwhelms your living room. And let’s not even get started on trying to maneuver a bulky couch through a narrow hallway or up three flights of stairs (been there, done that).
The good news? I’ve done the heavy lifting for you—literally. Our editors tested out a variety of options to find the best sofas for small spaces. I’m talking everything from TikTok-famous leather numbers, like the Article Sven loveseat, to a Crate & Barrel number that won the approval of a (very picky) designer. Whether you’re looking for a reversible sectional that can adapt to your layout or a bouclé upholstered one that can withstand pet claws, I made sure none of these picks will cramp your style—or your ability to move freely around your living room.
