New York lofts, beach bungalows; or a townhouse in San Francisco, many living spaces are smaller than suburban homes. Regardless of the size of your place though, there is no reason to trade in style just because you have a small home. A decade ago when people were splurging on bigger homes, huge rooms and enormous pieces of furniture were in style. Now, furniture shoppers are demanding smaller sizes as people downsize, tire of excess, or retire to smaller homes.
Before, it seemed as if small furniture meant scaling back on quality too. Years ago, the only smaller scaled furniture was essentially, the kind of furniture college kids have in dormitories. If you wanted small furniture, it meant having few choices of fabric. There was no style, no trend-factor; nothing noteworthy. Style, design, classy, quality, trendy, stunning…none of those words would relate to small furniture from 10-years ago.
One renowned chic furniture maker has reformed and scaled down some of their beautiful furniture and home decor collections. Once closed to those with small living spaces just because of the sheer size of couches and accessories, now someone can go and shop to their heart’s content. And they aren’t the only ones doing this. Small is the new “it” in furniture.
More furniture makers are producing modular styles, where you can buy the seating arrangement you need; can place as many or as few together to get the desired length of seating you want. Normally, couches come in 6-8 foot lengths. Five-foot loveseats could be available, but if you need a couch in any other length, good luck! Now, you have many options. Dining tables are mostly 6 or 8 foot. You might find a smaller one, but odds are it will look “kitchen”. Nowadays you can find smaller classy tables for eating and entertaining, without losing style.
Now you have some say-so in the depth of a couch. Usually, a traditional couch depth is about 37″ and a deep couch is considered around 42″. Now, couches with depths as scaled down as 28″ are available. That narrower depth gives you more space to create pathways or add other furniture.
