Living room furniture for small apartments and family lounges
Choose living room furniture by the size of the room and how it is used. In a small apartment, a two seater couch or living room settee and one armchair leave space to walk, and a slim console table with drawers adds storage without taking up floor. In a family lounge, a three seater sofa or modular couch seats everyone for movies, and a recliner gives someone a spot to put their feet up.
For a nursery or reading corner, a rocking armchair with a footrest is comfortable for long sits. Keep the main seating facing the TV or the view, with a side table within reach of each seat.
Living room furniture by type
Not sure where to start? If you are buying couches for the first time, look at two and three seaters, chair couches and cuddler sofas that seat two snugly. For one person, armchairs and recliners include fabric and PU leather recliners, tub chairs and rocking chairs.
Furnishing a new place? A living room set gives you a matching sofa and chairs in one buy. Need a surface for lamps, keys or remotes? Choose a console or side table, such as a drawers console table for the hallway or behind the couch.
Fabric or PU leather couches?
Fabric couches feel soft and warm and come in more colours, but spills need quick attention. PU leather wipes clean easily, suits homes with kids and pets, and keeps its shape. Velvet and boucle add texture but show marks more. Whatever the cover, check the frame material and seat foam, since those decide how a couch holds up over the years.

Living room furniture FAQ
What size couch fits my living room?
Measure the wall and leave about 90 cm of walking space in front. A two seater suits most apartments; a three seater suits a family lounge.
What is a cuddler sofa?
A cuddler sofa is wider and deeper than an armchair but smaller than a two seater, so it fits two people close together or one person stretched out.
Are recliners good for small spaces?
Choose a wall-hugger or rocking recliner, which needs less space behind it than a standard recliner.
How do I clean a PU leather couch?
Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry it. Avoid harsh cleaners and long hours of direct sun.
