Whether you like the uniformity and simplicity of having a sectional sofa provide all or most of your seating in a room, or just how truly comfortable they are, you can still find sectional sofas for small spaces – they aren’t all massive pieces of furniture meant only for 3000 square feet and large houses.
First up is this beige Baxton Studio sectional sofa in microfiber fabric, which has a built in storage compartment and a roll-out cushion that can be raised to create a sofa bed, as well as a pull out cup holder section, low legs, solid design. It’s also 84″ at its widest, and its neutral color will match most decor.
Next, as is so often the case when looking for furniture for small homes, IKEA comes to the rescue with affordable furniture. The KIVIK chaise/sofa is divided into a chaise and an armless chair that can be connected to create a small, modular sofa. Because of the different configurations you can use, the total size varies, but it takes up roughly six feet on one side and seven feet on the other.
Crate & Barrel has a lovely modern sectional sofa available in six different colors, and they will send you a swatch so that you can verify that you are happy with the color you selected before they ship you the couch itself. There are dozens of matching sofas, love seats, chairs, and chaises if you want to expand the theme later. The configuration pictured here is a little less than seven feet long and five feet wide.
This JC Penney Kubo sectional couch is another great sofa for small spaces, with storage compartments underneath the seat cushions and the back hinging backward to turn into a small bed. The longer side can be attached to either end, so the sofa can be right or left oriented. Measuring a little over seven feet long on the longer side, by less than five feet on the shorter, this sofa will fit easily into a small living room.
This espresso sectional sofa is a bit more traditional-looking than these other couches, but performs the same space-saving task of converting flat for a bed as well as revealing storage space underneath the top cushions for storing the pillows and sheets for guests. The total length of the chaise plus the loveseat is about six and a half feet, plus the length of the chaise is about five feet.
These relatively small, sectional sofas will cost you in the neighborhood of around $800 to $2000, which will of course depending on the quality of the materials as well as how solid the construction is. Even furniture is easily ordered online these days, and will usually take about a month for delivery and be brought directly into your home, even if you have an apartment or a condo. Overstock.com will even bring it inside and set up the furniture for you.
Really, these sectional sofa designs are very modern-looking. When I think of sectionals, I usually imagine dowdy 80′s looking furniture, but these are quite sleek.
Thanks for the post – I used to hate sectionals, but they’re so useful and versatile in small apartments. Some of these are actually really cute.
