A small living space has one obvious advantage and one obvious disadvantage. The benefit being there’s less space to clean/furnish while the disadvantage is exactly how it sounds- its small. So how do you furnish this small living space while still having sufficient walking room and avoiding a claustrophobic feel?

To fill this area most efficiently, many interior designers and home decorators would suggest opting for a 3-piece sectional sofa. Although many tend to think they’re the bigger of the bunch, there are smaller versions available. Most sectional sofas are comprised of a regular sofa or love seat and one or two chairs combined.

In searching for the perfect  sectional for that small space of yours, it is recommended to take price and desired  seating occupancy  into consideration.  Now, its up to you whether you prefer a leather, suede, microsuede, or regular cloth set, but that will pretty much determine how much you’re going to shell out. Choosing top-of-the-line materials and upholstery could cost you a pretty penny, but then again, you’re actually buying less pieces with a sectional, so you’re most likely saving money had you gone with a typical 3, 4 or 5-piece sofa set. Also, if you’re willing to do some research, there’s a pretty good guarantee, you’ll find a piece that fits right with your budget.

In terms of desired seating occupancy, its pretty understood you’re not going to be able to fit Extreme Makeover’s volunteer team in your living room, but choosing a sectional sofa could definitely appease available seating issues, comfortably fitting 6 to 7 persons.  Adding a sectional to your space also gives you more room to work with. Just enough couch, with just enough extra space.
