Sofas for small spaces.

Living Space

Once the apartment lease was signed & the living room was measured, the first thing we did was head out for some sofa shopping. When living in a small space, you end up spending 90% of your time in the living room, so it’s tres important to have a sofa that is comfortable, beautiful & affordable.

Initially, we picked out this sofa, which was so comfortable & provided a ton of seating:clarke sofa

After scoring an awesome deal on it & waiting 10 weeks for delivery, you can imagine my frustration when it Didn’t. Fit. Through. The. Door. I made the poor delivery guys try for at least 30 minutes, even though the sofa was clearly wedged between the wall & the staircase…

After having a mini-meltdown and a severe Ross Gellar moment (<–seriously, best Friends moment ever), it was decided that a smaller sofa was necessary.

After many hours of measuring, shopping, and re-measuring, I narrowed it down to 4 main contenders:

club-grey-felt-sofa

CB2 “Club Sofa”

West Elm “Paidge” Sofa

margot-sofa

Crate & Barrel “Margot” sofa

Macy’s “Chloe” sofa

Check back next week to see which one I chose!

Can anyone else relate to my Ross Gellar “pivot” moment? What’s your favorite Friends episode?
