The Best Small Loveseats, According To Small-Space Dwellers

With design roots dating back to the 17th century, loveseats originated as additional seating for women wearing the large hoop-skirt fashion of the time. It eventually transitioned into appropriately intimate locales for smitten courters, giving the two-seater sofa its sweet namesake. With all fashion and romance origins aside, the compact couches are major modern-day solutions for small-space furnishing — especially where style, budget, and sizing strike.

As far as investment pieces go, couches take the home-furnishing cake: They're a key part of your home design and provide cozy comfort for hours of sitting. Loveseats are often a more price- and space-conscious alternative to traditional sofas.
