A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/small-sofas\">compact sofa<\/a> gives you more seating options and somewhere to sit in comfort, but doesn\u2019t crowd the space and look oversized in a small room. In this blog post, we highlight five of the best sofas you can find for fitting into smaller spaces.<\/p>\n<h2>59<sup>th<\/sup> Street \u2013 Content by Conran<\/h2>\n<p>An elegant sofa in a clean timeless design, the 59<sup>th<\/sup> Street stands on rounded chrome ski-style legs which makes it appear to float above the floor. This works perfectly in smaller spaces by reducing the profile of the sofa and making it appear to take up less space.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 838px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/catalog\/product\/optimized\/f\/4\/f4902c672aad82c94a64e1f39e6d870e\/59th_street_in_eco_friendly_wool_aluminium_with_navy_piping_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"828\" height=\"480\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">59th Street Sofa with Piping<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Appearances aside, the 59<sup>th<\/sup> street is also actually a surprisingly compact sofa. At only 81cm deep, and just 170cm wide for the two-seat version, it takes up relatively little room for such a comfortable, generous design.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1090px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/catalog\/product\/optimized\/5\/5\/5570d5185f422427cee859be30d7d02d\/maion-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"623\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">59th Street sofa with Chaise<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Even better, for accessing small flats and getting up narrow staircases, the 59<sup>th<\/sup> Street has detachable arms and feet and can be delivered dismantled.<\/p>\n<h2>Harris Tweed Glencoe<\/h2>\n<p>The aptly named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/harris-tweed-sofas\">Harris Tweed Glencoe Petite sofa<\/a> is a cosy sofa just 155cm wide, neatly bridging the gap between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/love-chairs\">a love seat<\/a> and a typical two-seat sofa, and is perfectly spacious for two people, or three at a squeeze.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 838px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/catalog\/product\/optimized\/f\/6\/f619ac92fa0454fc6aff81a9c5079bad\/glencoe_petite_sofa_in_winter_check_harris_tweed_with_old_bard_piping.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"828\" height=\"480\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glencoe Petite Sofa in Winter Check Harris Tweed with Old Bard Piping<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Visually, its single-cushion seat design and low-profile armrests make it look compact and tidy, making it a great choice for a smaller room, or even to provide extra seating in an unusual space like a hallway or landing.<\/p>\n<h2>Chloe Compact Sofa Bed<\/h2>\n<p>The Chloe sofa bed isn\u2019t just a hugely space-efficient sofa although, with no armrests and a low-profile back it certainly provides the maximum amount of seating for its 200cm width. No, it\u2019s also one of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/small-sofa-beds\">compact sofa beds<\/a> available. Its unusual design uses the width of the sofa as the length of the bed, meaning that it barely takes up any additional space when unfolded. This makes it perfect for small rooms where it could be difficult to find floor space to unfold a conventional sofa bed, or simply for rooms with a lot of other furniture that would be difficult to move out of the way.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 838px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/catalog\/product\/optimized\/3\/3\/3396fab2dde4dc3fd6dce77cadffb877\/chloe-sofa-bed-front.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"828\" height=\"480\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chloe Compact Sofa Bed<\/p><\/div>\n<p>With the adjustable back folding down, the Chloe also gives the option for a recliner-type arrangement, making it an incredibly versatile and flexible option that is perfect for student rooms or bedsits, where it can be used for sleeping, sitting, or lying back and watching television, and quickly adjusted between positions with minimal effort.<\/p>\n<h2>Durham<\/h2>\n<p>A more traditional and classic design with hand-carved legs, a buttoned back, and rolled armrests, the Durham is just 160cm wide and 83 cm deep, making it one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/small-sofas\">smallest sofas<\/a> on this list.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 838px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/small-sofas\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/catalog\/product\/optimized\/a\/7\/a7e0ebc7672e6ade8e5bad4b1c5002a6\/durham_013_e_2__1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"828\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Durham Sofa in Waterford Herringbone Linen<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Available in a wide range of fabrics from chenille to crushed velvet, the Durham is versatile and adaptable, working just as well in a very traditional home as it would in a loft apartment or a modern space. And, if space allows, you can match it with its footstool, for a bit of extra comfort.<\/p>\n<h2>Charnwood Love Seat<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/charnwood-loveseat-pview\">The Charnwood<\/a>, a low-profile, comfy sofa with elements of modern and traditional designs carefully blended together, comes in some enormous sizes perfect for the largest living rooms. But it also comes in a love seat just 140cm wide, giving you all of the style and comfort of this elegant design but in a size that can work in the smallest spaces.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 838px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/charnwood-loveseat?material_code=material_colour_simulator_2&amp;material_item=Hard+Wearing+Velvet+Asphalt\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/catalog\/product\/optimized\/3\/3\/3396fab2dde4dc3fd6dce77cadffb877\/charnwood-loveseat-front.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"828\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charnwood Loveseat in Varese Turquoise<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Charnwood works particularly well in velvet and is available in a whole range of colours and styles including hard-wearing and stain-resistant velvets that are ideal for a family home or student flat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether it\u2019s a student room, a studio flat, or just a house or apartment with a small living room, many people live in smaller homes these days and it can be frustrating finding furniture that is beautiful and comfortable but will fit into these smaller spaces.
