Maybe you’ll move into a bigger place in a few years, and you can just add on a section and make it a three-seater. Want to add an ottoman that matches? You can do that, too.“Typically if you have a small space, you need your sofa to function in multiple different ways,” says Joyce. “Whether for entertaining, family time movie night, working on your laptop, or dare I say eating in front of the TV.”You can also choose between box cushions, pictured here, which offer a more minimalist, streamlined look; or pillow cushions, which give it a more cushy, cozy vibe. Either way, it’s a lovely little couch that, with a width of 85.5 inches, still gives you plenty of space for lounging around solo or with someone else.Colors32Dimensions85.5"W x 42.5"D x 39"HSeat Depth29"I’ve always been a West Elm fan thanks to its small space pieces, solid construction, and elegant designs.
