Looking for LOVE(SEATS)

Want to fall in love with a loveseat? Here are a few questions to ask when hunting for this furniture find.

-

WHAT ARE MY DIMENSIONS?

Although loveseats have a relatively uniform build, they can come in a variety of sizes. Note the dimensions of your space, and begin your search from there.

SOFA OR SETTEE?

Loveseats come in many styles, so it’s important to know your exact farmhouse aesthetic before you begin your search. A settee is typically more formal, with straight, high backing and longer, visible legs. It can also be larger and seat more than two people. A loveseat sofa typically has full upholstery, is softer and is only designed to seat two people.

PUBLIC OR PRIVATE?

Consider the space you’re looking to fill.

Is it a cozy nook, tucked away from the high-traffic areas of the house? Or is it the center of the living room, open and inviting? Knowing the nature of the space is important when considerin­g the longevity of a piece. The amount of foot traffic your loveseat will see will influence the type of upholstery fabric you need.
