Big sofa small room - compact sofas for London homes 19/07/2024

Often there is a disparity of scale between sofas and living rooms in London - we are often visiting homes where living rooms are overfilled with plush sofas, leaving little or no room for movement. Remember it is not always about changing the space to accommodate furniture but making the space feel larger by using the right furniture. We are a font of knowledge about this.

Here are 3 comfortable sofas that are not over-scaled for your room nor damage the budget.

First pick :

KARTELL Plastics Duo 2-seater Orsetto

This is a modular sofa the 2 parts together come to 1760mm, it is a comfy small neat sofa and comes in 6 colours and has a removable cover. there are 10 modules so many configurations are available. It also has the benefit of being low height , so good for perching in front of low window sills.

SANCAL Copla sofa

Second pick: A big puffy sofa with comfortable side arms (perfect for lying as they act like pillows!) by Sancal. The complete width of this configuration is 1640mm , very compact. It comes in many many finishes and also fun colours for those who want to go more vibrant or luxurious when it comes to fabrics (lots of plush velvet for example!). The sofa is higher than average so looks good in tall rooms or just when you need to create a sitting nook, where the height helps to create division in more open plan rooms.

MUUTO outline sofa

Finally a small but refined example of a sofa by Muuto, it is called outline and is a 2 -seater at 1700mm wide (it is a one piece) . It is a less cushioned sofa than we previously show, so holds it shape better over time. It is a more serious look, but looks timeless and sharp in modern settings. The very minimal design of the sofa, its height, arms, base and legs give the impression of greater space around. This look is one where the sofa is not the main actor.

We take the time to research for the best items for our interior designs. It is not just about looks but also practicalities of the household and the feeling it gives.
