When it comes to sofas for small spaces, the Godwin Upholstered Sleeper Sofa is a great option! It is small enough to fit in the tiniest spaces and doubles as a sofa in case you have guests sleeping over.

2. Anranni Loveseat Sofa
If you are looking for a super modern sofa for your small apartment, this is it! It is highly rated on Amazon, and it is also super affordable! We love its deep seating design and the ultra-soft material it is made out of. It is also high up off the ground, so your vacuum can easily get underneath it without running into issues. The only con is that it only comes in cream, dark grey, and navy! However, these colors are super versatile and will work in almost any room.
We think these throw pillows would look fabulous on it! We also recommend checking out this end table and a cute rug for an accent.
3. Larissa Sofa
We think this is one of the best small apartment sofas because it has more functionality than a regular sofa. It has a charging port under the seat so you can charge your devices, which is super cool! It also has pockets on the side that are perfect for magazines and a few books! Functional pieces like this sofa work great in small spaces and help keep things off the floor and other spaces that may look cluttered.
It is limited in colors as well, which may be a drawback as there are no options besides greys and cream. However, you can always find throw pillows or a blanket to help tie the furniture into your space if you are worried about matching. You can also add a coffee table or ottoman if you have the room. We just love this coffee table from Amazon!

We absolutely love this gorgeous velvet sofa! It is super chic and will make any room feel luxurious in an instant. The best part is that it is convertible so that you can fold the top down, and it will turn into a twin-sized sofa sleeper. These are great in small apartments because they offer your guests a better option than sleeping on the couch. It comes in various colors, but we like this gorgeous green color the best.
To style this piece, go with a sleek coffee table like this one or a round woven coffee table like this one for more of a boho vibe. You can also pair it with a pouf ottoman and style in some gorgeous indoor plants.
6. Dreamsir Mid-Century Modern Sofa
This burnt orange sofa is perfect for super small apartments and will add so much flare to your space. Apartments can sometimes be difficult to decorate because you are very limited with what you can change. This means you need to bring in style and personality with furniture and other decor pieces, like this burnt orange sofa.
You can style an orange sofa like this with creams, like this rug and these pillows, or with dark colors like black or navy blue to add contrast. We think this rug and these throw pillows would be great to add a bit of contrast and depth to your space.
7. VanAcc Sleeper Sofa
We just love this super plush and cozy sleeper sofa from Amazon! It’s one of the best small apartment sofas you can get, in our opinion. Not only is it small enough to fit your small space, but it is also multi-functional! One side is a chaise lounge with built-in storage, and the other side pulls out into a twin bed. It’s absolutely brilliant. Small sofas rarely have storage options, which makes this one a great choice, especially if you have stuff you don’t have a place for and want to hide it away. You can store things like throw pillows, extra blankets, or books.
You can style this sofa with a colorful accent rug like this one, and you can really make your space efficient with a storage coffee table like this one!

If you are looking for a sofa that is a little more conventional, the Glamorie loveseat sofa gives you the benefits of a regular sofa without taking up as much room.

9. Honbay Faux Leather Sectional
If you like a space with more of a warm feel to it, this Hombay faux leather sectional may be just what you are looking for. It is a small sectional, so it should fit in your small space. Plus, it has gorgeous dark brown leather that creates a cozy vibe. Dark brown leather sofas are super classic and versatile, meaning they will adapt to many different types of styles, so we also recommend something like this one if you like to change up your style frequently.
Creams pair beautifully with dark brown leather, so go for cream-colored pillows, throws, and rugs. If you want to add color, you can add some navy for a pop of color. We also recommend skipping dark wood for your wooden furniture and choosing a light brown or oak instead. Going with dark wood will drown out your room and make it look too dark.
10. Opoiar Futon Sofa Bed
Futons are usually a go-to in small apartments because they are easy to get in and set up, and they save a ton of space. However, traditional futons are not very stylish and look like exactly what they are: a piece of apartment furniture. However, this gorgeous leather futon sofa offers an alternative that is super stylish and will work perfectly in your small apartment! It’s also very reasonably priced, so it’s great if you are on a budget.
Try styling it with luxurious-feeling items to really take your space to the next level! You only need a few high-quality pieces that will totally transform your living room. Skip traditional decor items that could make your living room look cheap, and opt for quality-looking decor instead. We love this pampas grass for a space like your end table or coffee table, and it will look lovely with the leather futon.

11. Lizaida Reclining Loveseat
If you or someone you live with loves recliners but don’t have the room, you can opt for this reclining loveseat sofa instead! It has two recliners, so you get the best of both worlds. The only con is that, like most recliners, it is a bit bulky, which means it will take up more room width-wise than some of the other options.
To style this reclining loveseat, choose a light beige rug with a pop of color, or plain beige will look great, too. You will want to take away from the bulkiness of the furniture by adding balance, so you may want to skip end tables. If you must have an end table, add one to one side with a luxury candle and a few books. You can also add some houseplants in various sizes to balance everything out.
Final Thoughts
Whatever sofa you choose, make sure you absolutely love it, and it reflects your personality. You can play around with different styles and colors with your sofa to find a vibe that you like, so even if you can’t find the color you want, don’t be afraid to play around with different styles and textures until you create a space you feel at home in.
