How do you choose a sofa for a small living room?

Choose a compact, light-colored sofa with a space-saving design, such as modular or storage options from Koala, IKEA, or West Elm; to maximize seating and openness in a small living room.

Space-saving sofas with slim arms, exposed legs, and multifunctional features help small living rooms feel more open and versatile.

For instance, modern furniture brands like Koala, IKEA, and West Elm offer modular sofas, sofa beds, and options with built-in storage, maximizing both seating and utility.

Selecting lighter upholstery colors and low-profile designs further enhances the sense of space and prevents the room from feeling overcrowded.
