Choosing the right couch for your apartment, condo, or living room isn’t just about style—it’s about finding the perfect fit. A couch that’s too big can overwhelm your space, while one that’s too small might not give you the comfort you need. Here are four key things to consider to ensure your new couch fits just right.
1. Size Matters
Before falling in love with a couch, measure your space!
General size guidelines:
Small Spaces (Apartments & Condos): A length of 68–80 inches keeps things cozy without cramping your space.
Larger Living Rooms: Standard couches are typically 84–96 inches, offering more seating.
Depth: If you like a sleek look, go for 30–36 inches deep. Prefer lounging? 40 inches or more gives you extra comfort.
2. Make Sure It Fits Through the Door
Don’t forget to measure your entryways! Your couch needs to fit through doorways, hallways, and staircases. A width of 30–36 inches is a safe bet, and removable legs can make tight squeezes easier.
3. Small Space Hacks
Loveseats (50–68 inches) are great for cozy setups.
Compact Sectionals (under 90 inches wide) maximize seating without overcrowding.
Sofa Beds & Couches with Storage: Perfect for multi-purpose spaces.
4. Test the Layout Before You Buy
Use painter’s tape or cardboard to map out your couch’s footprint on the floor. This quick trick helps you visualize the fit before committing!
