What Size Sofa Do You Need for a Snug?

For most snugs, a two seater or a compact two and a half seater is the right size, but the best fit for your room depends on three measurements. In this guide, we explain how to measure the wall the sofa will sit against, how to work out a comfortable depth without blocking walkways, and how to check doors, hallways and stairs so the sofa can actually reach the room. We compare seat counts with real seating needs, and look at the shapes that suit small rooms, from compact two seaters with slim arms to loveseats, small corner sofas and sofa beds for occasional guests. You will also find a simple masking tape test that shows how a sofa will feel in the space, ideas for keeping the floor clear with compact tables and layered lighting, and the common sizing mistakes that catch people out. Colour and fabric advice helps the finished room feel cosy rather than cramped....
