Shopping for Settees

The best sofas are small enough to fit into small spaces. Here are five of our favorite sofas. A settee is a lighter, more comfortable option than a deep sofa that you can sink into. It can fit into any space. Ms. Kasler designed settees to fit Hickory Chair’s foyers, bedrooms, dining rooms, and tightest corners of living spaces. It’s a favorite piece of furniture. Ms. Kasler stated that some settees feel like a sofa, with thick, soft cushions. Others feel more like a padded bench. Whether it has arms or not is up to you. Ms. Kasler prefers armless models because they allow for maximum flexibility in tight spaces. However, throw pillows can be added to make it more comfortable. “Yes, pillows are always great,” Ms. Kasler said, even when the settee is much smaller than a traditional sofa.ImageMingle SofaSheepskin upholstered settee by Flemming Lassen$10,549 at Menu Design Shop: menudesignshop.comImageBloke SofaSmall-scale sofa with wraparound back$2,795 at Blu Dot: 844-425-8368 or bludot.comImageFenn Black Cord and Leather SetteePaper-cord-wrapped metal settee with removable leather cushions by Nicholas ObeidAbout $1,800 at CB2: 800-606-6252 or cb2.comImageSawni SetteeGray-washed ash-wood frame settee with linen upholstery$2,098 at Lulu and Georgia: luluandgeorgia.comImageFenwick SetteeSettee upholstered in triangle-print Nomadic Fossil fabricAbout $2,600 at Arhaus: 866-427-4287 or arhaus.comFor weekly email updates on residential real estate news, sign up here.
