A stylish, space-saving choice for your home, a loveseat is a wonderful addition to your home. In between a sofa and an armchair, read our handy buying guide on what a loveseat is and how you can choose the perfect piece for your home.
What is a Loveseat?
Definition and Purpose
Loveseats typically fit in small living rooms, bedrooms and hallways as they offer a solution to the tight nooks of the home that don’t fit a full sofa. In the modern home, loveseats boast comfort, intimacy and versatility.
How a Loveseat Differs from a Sofa
The main differences between a loveseat and sofas are its size, seating capacity and use. A stylish and space-efficient to the sofa, a loveseat is a cosy alternative for your home’s smaller spaces.
How Big Is a Loveseat?
Typical Dimensions
Compact in size, loveseats are on average 132cm in width and perfect for two people to snuggle up on.
How It Compares to a Sofa
Whether you use your loveseat for secondary seating or if your space is too tight for a traditionally sized sofa, a loveseat is the perfect choice for your home.
