Small Sofas & Apartment Sofas

Choosing a sofa for a small space

Mind the depth as well as the width. In a small room, a shallow sofa leaves more floor space than a narrow one. Low backs, slim arms and raised legs also make a sofa look lighter.

Make it work twice. A compact sleeper sofa turns a studio or office into a guest room, and a modular sofa can grow if you move somewhere bigger.

Check the route in. Apartments often have narrow halls, tight stairs and small elevators. Our sofa size guide lists standard sizes, and the measuring guide shows how to check every doorway.

Small couches for bedrooms, offices, dorms and studio apartments

For a bedroom or a home office, a loveseat or a compact sofa up to about 72 inches wide usually fits at the foot of the bed or along a short wall. In a studio apartment or a dorm, a small sleeper sofa gives you a seat by day and a bed for guests at night. See loveseats and small sleeper sofas, and plan the room with small living room layouts.

Frequently asked questions

What is an apartment size sofa?

A sofa built a little smaller than standard, usually about 68 to 80 inches wide and 30 to 36 inches deep, with slimmer arms. It seats two comfortably and three for a short time, and it fits narrow halls and elevators more easily.

What size couch fits a small living room?

Aim for a sofa about two-thirds the length of the wall it sits on, usually 72 to 84 inches in a small room, and leave about 30 inches for walkways. See small living room layouts.
