Loveseat
A loveseat is an essential piece of furniture for any conversation area. Whether you plan to add seating to your living room, den, family room, or even a home office or media room, you’ll need to consider the same essentials when it comes to buying the right loveseat for your home.
Your first consideration will be the total number of people you wish to provide seating for in your space. A loveseat can fit up to two people comfortably — the name refers to the idea that a couple would choose this chair in a parlor so they could sit close to each other. If you plan to entertain large groups, you’ll need to add a suite of furniture that includes a sofa and chairs for adequate seating. If you live alone or have a small space, however, a loveseat is a compact alternative to a standard sofa, since it is typically only 50 to 70 inches long.
Once you take measurements and have an idea of the right size loveseat for your space, you’ll want to consider materials and design. A leather loveseat is very durable when properly care for, and it offers a luxurious look for your home. If you prefer fabric, microfiber and other upholstery can offer excellent durability and stain resistance, both of which are important if you have pets or small children. The overall shape of your loveseat will also dictate your comfort. If you like to lie down, upholstered roll arms will be more comfortable than track arms or wood sides.
Additional Loveseat Features
While all loveseats are designed to fit approximately two people, no two loveseat styles are the same! Here are a few of the most common features found in different types of loveseats:
- Deep button tufting: Tufted loveseats feature buttons sewn into the backrest for chic style.
- Reclining abilities: Reclining loveseats feature a backrest that can move up and down for ergonomic comfort.
- Upholstery: Upholstered loveseats come in a variety of fabric and leather options for customized comfort.
- Center consoles: Loveseats with center consoles make it easy to store drinks and rest your arms!
- USB ports: Loveseats with USB ports give a ‘smart’ edge to casual lounging.
Home Design Tips
To make sure your loveseat blends in with your existing decor, it’s helpful to know some design basics:
- Traditional Design: Traditional furniture often features rounded edges, plenty of curves and turned wooden legs. These are good choices for older homes and anyone who likes Colonial, Victorian or other historical styles.
- Modern Design: Low seats, straight lines and minimal ornamentation mark modern furniture design. Mid-century modern styles from the 1950s, such as Danish modern sofas, are good examples of this style. This style works well in lofts and very modern homes, or anywhere you want to emphasize clean lines.
- Contemporary or Transitional Design: These loveseats split the difference between traditional and modern furniture design. The overall look has few extra ornaments, but you’ll still find some curves and softness for comfort. This style works across the widest range of home decorating tastes.
No matter what style you prefer, we have an incredible selection of loveseats to choose from. Whether you want a minimalist reclining design or something with lots of cushions, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for.
