The best leather sofas for small spaces

Whether you’ve recently downsized or are looking for pieces of furniture to outfit a smaller room like a home office or den, finding a leather sofa that fits just right can be challenging. You have to consider how much real estate it will take up, but you also need to keep comfort in mind.

Luckily, many options are available to suit your space, like modular sectional sofas that can shift according to your changing needs or even a sleeper sofa to accommodate overnight guests.

We’ve rounded up some seating options to help you make the most of your square footage when space is at a premium. Here are some of our favorite fits.

Room for Two

Slightly shorter than a sofa, a loveseat offers just enough space to seat two people. With a more compact profile, it’s the perfect choice for rooms on the small side or those with awkward angles.

A loveseat can also fill a void in overly spacious rooms. For instance, a large master bedroom can be made cozier with a small sofa, bench or settee placed at the end of the bed. Or you can create a conversation area in a living room by placing two loveseats across from one another with a coffee table in the middle to separate.

The Palliser Furniture Corissa Loveseat has a versatile transitional style that takes evolving trends in stride. Luxurious piped details combined with topstitching highlight all those classic curves. Inviting sloped arms are double padded with a structured inside cushion for just-right support.

We also recommend the Palliser Furniture Asher Power Loveseat. Built for today’s family, it’s sturdy, endlessly comfortable and full of function. A toggle power mechanism puts you at the perfect angle of recline for movie watching, napping or reading. Two cupholders keep your favorite beverages close at hand, while a center console conceals essentials like remote controls, books or magazines.

Double Duty

With any small space, it’s wise to invest in a piece of furniture that serves multiple functions, like a sleeper sofa. This multitasker offers comfortable seating by day and a cozy place to sleep at night, whether your living room doubles as a bedroom, or your home office serves as a guestroom.

A sleeper sofa also helps relieve the stress of hosting overnight guests, making them feel right at home, even while sleeping in your family room.

With slender arms tailored with welting, the Palliser Furniture California Queen Sofa Bed has a relaxed elegance that works well in any room. It folds open easily to reveal a queen-size mattress topped with gel-infused memory foam to provide comfortable support.

Small Scale, Big Impact

With modular components and various seating configurations, a sofa sectional can be customized to maximize your space. And a sofa with a chaise is one of the bestselling types of sectionals because it opens up your floor plan while providing an extra spot to sit or simply to stretch out.

A sectional sofa also can create a welcoming place to gather, from hosting a game night or a movie marathon, or just catching up on all your favorite shows.

A piece like the Palliser Furniture 2-Piece Miami Sectional lets you live large in smaller spaces. Its low-slung, modern profile is the epitome of coastal cool, with bench seating and a sculptural padded arm that adds even more character to the design. A chaise on one end invites you to put your feet up and can also serve as extra seating.

Power Couple

Sometimes the best sofa for the job is a chair. Better in pairs, accent chairs allow complete versatility. They can be arranged side by side with a cocktail table in between, angled in toward each other or placed on either side (or directly across) from a loveseat.

The Natuzzi Editions Amabile Armchair offers all the comfort of a sofa, but in a compact profile. Curved, pinched stitching brings crisp definition to the softly shaped silhouette. An amply padded headrest and arms encourage you to sit back and relax, while visible metal legs create a sophisticated frame.

Pick a Seat

Even if you’re not working within a confined space, there are many reasons why you still may want to consider adding a small sofa or some accent chairs to your interiors. Let one of our Leaxperts help you configure the perfect seating arrangement.
