- Buying Advice
If you’re moving into your first flat and need a new settee, or your current sofa is on its last legs and simply no longer offers a good standard of comfort, it’s probably time to get searching for a new couch. But how do you decide which sofa from our vast range is best for apartment living?
We’ve picked out our three best settees for flats and studios to make your life that little bit easier, which you can read all about within this blog!
Why Choosing The Right Sofa Matters in an Apartment
Typically, flats tend to be much less spacious than houses as the entire living space exists on one floor – there’s no upper floor separating your lounge and kitchen from your bedrooms and bathroom.
Each room, including the living room, is usually quite small, which is why you need to find a sofa that provides enough seating, but doesn’t consume the entire space and make the apartment feel cramped.
Luckily, at Sofas and Friends, we have an extensive selection of well-built settees to suit flats.
Our Top 3 Sofas for Apartments
Harmony 3 Seater
If you’re looking for a settee that’s petite enough to slot seamlessly into your flat, then you can’t go wrong with the Harmony 3 Seater couch.
This style has a small footprint, yet still comfortably seats three people, which is great if you live in a compact apartment where floor space is precious. What’s more, this settee is modular, meaning that if you decide to move to a bigger home, you can always extend the sofa with additional seating at a later date.
Available in both closed and open-ended designs, you can choose the version that best suits your aesthetic preference. With exquisite stitching, luxury quilting and wide seat cushions for added comfort, the Harmony 3 Seater sofa will also help enhance the style of your lounge area.
As one of our most affordable models, you’ll be gaining a premium-quality sofa at an excellent price.
Bergamo Mini Corner Sofa
Stylish, expertly crafted and perfectly practical for flats, the Bergamo Mini Corner Sofa could be right for you.
Corner sofas are a top seating solution for small living spaces, especially flats, studio apartments and loft spaces. These settees feature a right angle where two sides of the frame meet, which enables them to fit snugly into the corner of the room. Corner settees also naturally create a more social seating area, as people can sit in positions that make conversation easier.
Mini and modular mean that this couch is small initially; however, more sections can be added if you need to extend it when moving into a bigger home.
What’s more, you can also choose between left and right-sided models – whichever best suits the layout of your flat.
Piccolo Electric 3 Seater Extension Sofa
If you’re looking for a quaint and more premium sofa with added luxury features, then our Piccolo Electric 3 Seater Extension Sofa is your match made in heaven. With the click of a button, this stylish sofa can be extended outwards, allowing you to stretch out carefree and relax while watching your favourite shows or reading a good book.
Not only can the Piccolo electric settee be extended for a more comfortable lounge experience, but the seat can also be fully extended into a cosy bed. This is ideal for one-bedroom flats or smaller apartments, as guests can still have somewhere to sleep, even if it isn’t in their own room.
The Piccolo Electric 3 Seater Extension Sofa is super stylish and available in beige and ivory colour options.
