One of the key things in approaching this problem is to make sure that the limited space is efficiently used and maximized without sacrificing aesthetics.
Aesthetics is one of the most important elements when it comes to making your home a very enjoyable place to hang out in. I have heard of many home owners that ended up not wanting to go home because their homes were not made into a very cozy and comfortable place. They made the mistake of not making plans on how they would go about their home decorating efforts that the place turned into a messy repository of stuff that are not used or maximized. A cluttered up living room is definitely not a place you can enjoy easy weekend mornings alone or with friends.
The key to creating a home even if your home is small is to plan it carefully. If you have no idea what to do, this is where a good interior decorator can come in handy. Yes, it will cost more to hire the services of a designer but it is an expense that will bear fruit.
Compact space, compact furniture
One of the most important ways to maximize the space you have is to use furniture that matches the situation. This is where compact seating furniture like the compact sofa loveseat shines.
Sofa loveseats are usually 2 seater sofas that were made to seat 2 people very comfortably. They are great at furnishing apartments or living rooms that have very small space to work with. Forcing a bulky 5 seater would be unwise because it will look out of place and will take up too much space. A cramped up living room is a no-no when it comes to making a stylish and cozy interior.
Compact sofa loveseats work very well with small spaces because they are, well, small! If you need more seating, you could just get 2 two seater sofas. It is easier to work with 2 compact sofas rather than one big 5 seater. You can configure the arrangement of 2 small pieces such that it can work with the small area allocation.
Buying Tips
If you already have your interior design all set up, it is always a good idea to consult your designer on what types of sofas will fit it. There are a lot to choose from - from modern to traditional designs, from leather to linen fabrics. The important thing is that you get a good match for your existing dcor.
You could do some research online and then buy offline or just go ahead and buy online. There are a lot of online furniture stores that offer countless compact 2 or 3 seater sofas complete with pictures and exact dimensions which is an important detail that you should take note of.
