Which sofa to choose for a small living room
The sofa is the centerpiece of the living room. In fact, it is the ideal piece of furniture to welcome your guests or to spend a moment of relaxation.
And if chosen carefully, it can add a decorative touch to the room.
So how to choose a sofa for a small living room? Here are the rules to follow.
Designing a small living room is difficult, but not impossible.
You just need to select the right furniture and arrange it taking into account the available space. For a small room, you have several options when it comes to choosing the sofa.
- The sectional sofa: when you have a small living room, it can be interesting to get a sectional sofa. It is a sofa made up of two, three or more pieces. Each piece is connected to each other. So you can put them together in different ways depending on the size and shape of your living room.
- The two or three-seater sofa: this piece of furniture placed against the wall will allow you to gain more space in your living room.
- The Scandinavian model sofa: this model is light and gives the impression that the room is larger. It is characterized by a low backrest, as well as a high and thin base.
- Two two-seater sofas: if you have a really small living room, we recommend opting for two two-seater sofas, rather than a corner sofa which could take up space.
- The convertible sofa or sofa bed: this is an interesting solution for small spaces. In fact, this multifunctional piece of furniture serves as both a sofa and a bed. During the day you use it to receive your guests. And in the evening, all you have to do is open it to sleep comfortably. However, if you opt for this type of furniture, make sure you have the necessary space to open it.
What color to choose for your sofa?
In a small room it is important to play with colors to make the room seem larger. This is why you should choose the color of your sofa carefully.
Dark colored sofas are to be banned. In fact, dark shades, such as black, navy blue and brown, absorb light and create a mass effect. Instead, opt for a sofa in a light color such as beige, pink, white, etc.
But if you really prefer a dark-colored model, try to balance things out by choosing a stand-up model with clean lines.
As you can see, there are many possibilities for decorating a small living room.
