What to Consider When Choosing a Small Sofa
- Measure the length and width of the space you want to place a small sofa to determine how much space you can afford (Think: 70" for small sofas to take up an entire wall, while small sofas between 60" and 70" leave more room for other furniture).
- Look for modern sofa configurations with low backs and armrests to open up the room.
- Create more seating space with a loveseat between 40" to 50" wide.
