Do you have a small living room? Then it is important to use the space smartly and efficiently. Choosing a sofa can be quite a challenge. But even for a small room there are plenty of possibilities. In this blog post you will discover which corner sofas are ideal for a small or narrow living room and how to best place them in the space.
The first step you need to take before buying a new sofa for your small living room is to measure the total space. It is important to determine how many seats you want at least and what the walking route will be. In short: make sure you have the right measurements and that you map out your wishes. Do you have everything in order? Great! Then you can start putting together your modular dream sofa.
Compact corner sofa for small living rooms: model X5
A modular corner sofa only for large living rooms? No way! We are quickly inclined to choose a small straight sofa in a small space, but that is not necessary with our compact corner sofa X5 . With a width of 250 centimeters and a slightly shorter chaise longue of 150 centimeters long, it is very suitable for smaller spaces.
Because the seat elements of this sofa are slightly less deep and stand on legs and the chaise longue is also less deep, this model fits perfectly in the small living room. Thanks to the slightly more rounded seat and the metal legs, the sofa still has a stately character and therefore stands out nicely in the room.
Especially as a resident of a city apartment, for example, you want to be flexible with your furniture. A loose element sofa is then really a solution. With this you can easily and quickly create several nice seats when friends come over, like in the photo below. Are you hanging out on the couch alone in front of the TV the next evening? Then you want to stretch out your legs and have the chaise longue all to yourself.

Statement corner sofa for small living rooms: model X4
Want to make a statement in your home? You can do that with a small sofa! Our latest X4 model is perfect for this: because how beautiful is this beauty with its round shapes? Price set B is a compact corner sofa that will make a big impression in small rooms. Just watch out: if you choose this sofa, you are guaranteed to receive compliments!
Model X4 is not only a feast for the eyes; it is also surprisingly comfortable. The backrest is slightly higher than model X6, which gives you more support in the back. Furthermore, the characteristic trendy curves are ultra-soft and not noticeable when you sit.
Should I choose a corner sofa or a straight sofa?
The possibilities for a corner sofa are of course entirely dependent on the space and the dimensions. If it is a really long narrow living room, a straight sofa is the most convenient. For a long wall, take a look at our straight sofas such as Price set D , Price set E or G . We can make these versions for you with all our modular sofas.
The X4 is also very suitable for a narrow long living room and comes into its own here very nicely. On the corner you can choose a round element. This does not take up nearly as much space as a chaise longue, but still gives the feeling of a corner sofa.
With such a long straight sofa you also make a statement with your sofa, without it being at the expense of your walking space. And you can always (later) add a separate footstool in the same model and same fabric (or not) that you can use at the same time as a table or extra seat.
You often see that even in small rooms, next to a straight sofa, an armchair or loveseat is added for extra seating. That seems very airy, but in the end it looks a lot fuller than when you place one good corner sofa. If you ask us, you are better off choosing one large piece of furniture in one color and the same fabric.
Lounge sofa in a small room: a modular sofa always fits!
If space allows; why not a lounge sofa in a small living room? Create a 'living island' along the wall with our X6 modular sofa so that it becomes a nice place to sit together. Because the X6 consists of different modules, you can put together your dream sofa completely to measure. A modular sofa always fits! What is extra handy is that we also have fixed price sets without or with only one armrest. This means that the other side slopes neatly and thus gives the (corner) sofa a spacious character. You prevent the living room from feeling 'stuffy'. For comfort, you can optionally purchase a separate armrest cushion that offers comparable convenience.
Is a modular sofa suitable for a small room?
A question we often see. And our clear answer is: absolutely! You can put together a modular sofa entirely to your wishes, so that the sofa fits perfectly into the space in the room. Although model X5 is ideally suited as a modular sofa for smaller spaces, you can also create beautiful arrangements for the small living room with models X1 and X3. For example, take a look at Price set B of model X3 or X1 price set D with a corner element and open end for an extra airy effect. Compact, but powerful!
Which sofa model suits me?
Each model of sofa of 4x6 sofa has its own characteristics. So do you go for comfortable design, loungy with many cushions or just a more airy model on a leg. Often 1 of the 6 models meets your wish.
Not only in appearance but also in seating comfort varies greatly per model. One sofa has a low, deep seat and the other sofa 'sits' a bit more upright and a bit higher.
And ultimately, the combination of fabric, model and colour makes the sofa: that is why we like to put together your ideal sofa in combination with 1 of the 24 colours of fabric. And so 4x6 sofa offers both modern design sofas and more timeless sofas for every taste and style.
Which color and fabric do I choose for a small sofa?
Once you have determined your ideal layout, you come to the next step: what material and what color will the new sofa get? For example, keep in mind that the sofa does not provide too much contrast with the surroundings. If the colors blend in a bit more, the room will look bigger. Another tip to make a small room look bigger is to use a light, cool fabric for the sofa. Then paint the ceiling light as well. Do you prefer dark colors? Then go for a dark sofa with a dark ceiling and dark skirting boards. In that case, don't be careful!
Finally, you choose a fabric that adds tactility to the room. For example, if you have a smooth surface as a floor, it is a nice contrast when the sofa has a more tactile fabric as an opposite. With 4x6 sofa you have a wide choice of no less than 24 colours and we use 1 fixed price per model. So you know exactly what you are getting.
Some more practical tips
- Even in a smaller living room, combine your modular sofa with a rug to connect the different elements.
- Instead of 1 large coffee table, choose 2 small tables. This makes the whole thing less colossal.
- A pouf can also provide a solution: it is easy to move and it can provide an extra seat if necessary.
- If possible, place the sofa slightly away from the wall. This will give a more spacious effect.
- Prefer a deeper sofa, but are you a bit shorter? Put a row of extra cushions on the sofa. If you remove the cushions, the sofa is also suitable for taller people or to curl up in yourself if you do not choose a chaise longue due to space.
