Small sofas – our pick of the best

In a tight spot? These stylish small sofas will tuck into even the most compact of spaces. We spend the best part (we mean our favourite part) of the week lounging on the sofa, so it makes sense to choose your next one carefully. But what type should you go for? Consider the size of the room; with small space living on the rise, more now than ever, small sofas are at the forefront of most designer's minds. Be inspired by our fabulous selection of small sofa designs, perfect as either becoming a focal point of your living or to be tucked away in the corner. Choose a classic Chesterfield for a vintage-inspired look, or opt for a streamlined design if you prefer contemporary schemes. Go for a colour that will showcase your personality and add character and pizzazz to your space. We have plenty of options to pick from. Why not choose one of these gorgeous sofa designs as the focal point of your living room project?

Add a romantic feel to any living space with this dreamy small sofa from Loaf. The decadent Clever Velvet upholstery and the deep buttoning gives it an instant luxe feel. The colour is perfectly on trend for using chalky pastel tones to brighten up our homes. Don't be put off opting for a statement colour when choosing an investment piece, such as a sofa. Pink is a great colour to accent pretty much any paint colour of choice; particularly grey, green and navy, all of which are popular choices right now. With feather-wrapped deep foam cushions this sofa is as comfy as it is beautiful. The Crumble Snuggler is the firm favourite on our shopping editor's wish list.
