These loveseats make snuggling up irresistible & they’re super popular right now

It’s no surprise loveseats are in such high demand right now. Smaller than a sofa but larger than an armchair, the best loveseats – or snuggle chairs / love seat sofas – are the perfect space-saving solution the tricky corners in our tinier-than-ever homes. It’s true: a report by Compare My Move showed England’s average property size to be just 729 sq. ft, which is the smallest it has been since the 1930s. As such, demand small space dining tables, desks for small spaces and opulent-yet-compact statement chairs (read: the humble loveseat) is high.

Before we get going, you’re probably wondering how loveseats are comparable to two-seater sofas. And to be honest – there’s not a world of difference. Both pieces of furniture are designed for two people, they’re just proportioned slightly differently – with the latter being more compact. And while a loveseat can typically fit two people (as long as you ahem get on well with them), they’re also perfect for allowing one individual to stretch out and lounge. The best way to choose between them is to look at the space you’ve got, measure up and see what works best.

A practical yet elegant and statement-yet solution for unused corners – or that dead space in front of a bay window – love seats work well in bedrooms, home offices and living rooms. And thanks to our favourite online furniture stores (Soho Home/Oliver Bonas/Dusk, we’re looking at you), there’s a plethora of designs out there finished in varying fabrics and styles.

From velvet loveseats to leather loveseats and armless loveseats that encourage optimum relaxation, there’s a loveseat to suit every interior style and budget. You can even pick up sofa and loveseat sets to ensure continuity across your entire set-up. Tempted? You bet.
