Loveseats that make the most of a small space
A loveseat not only has one of the best names in the furniture market but also one of the best functions. Smaller than a traditional sofa yet bigger than an armchair designed for a single user, this sweet furnishing has been dubbed many things, from a 'cuddle chair' to a 'snuggle chair'. In honour of this charming piece of furniture, we've compiled a list of the best loveseats to buy now, from leather loveseats to velvet loveseats and loveseats without armrests.
What are the benefits of a loveseat?
A loveseat is brilliant for small apartments, where a sofa might dominate the space, or in an awkward corner where an armchair would be dwarfed by its surroundings. It sits in the middle ground between the two, making it ideal for any living space. We think they work just as well in a home office as in a bedroom or living room, so don't succumb to any preexisting ideas of where this furnishing needs to sit.
A loveseat with chaise can also double as a sofa bed or bed in an emergency as the extra width means your guest can recline and slumber in comfort. We recommend choosing one with deep seats and a comfortable upholstery like velvet or linen if you think you might do this.
What is the difference between a love seat and a sofa?
A common misconception is that a loveseat is simply a two seater sofa in disguise. However, whilst the difference isn't wild (we've even popped some very small two seater sofas into this guide), a loveseat is more compact than a sofa and perfect for solo lounging in the living room.
