Living in a small apartment, I know how difficult it is to find space for seating. I used to think it would be impossible to have large gatherings in my home. Now, I’m here to tell you it IS possible to incorporate enough seating in your apartment!

The key is to include seating which also acts as decor. It’s that simple. I used to keep a butterfly chair in the corner of my living room until I realized I was wasting space. In its place, I added a small table and one ghost chair, placing a narrow bench next to the table. The bench can easily seat two people which means I just added three seats in place of one! To add some dimension to the bench, I threw a small throw and pillows on top of it.
The next way I increased seating was by adding a pouf; not only is it stylish, but it is also small and low to the ground, which means it will never get in the way. You can easily find a pouf to match any interior style. If you have a larger living room than I do, you can easily fit two poufs inside one space.
The last way I incorporated more seating into my space was to purchase chic stools. They are pretty to look at and can act as seating whenever I need them to. They are narrow, light, and short which allowed them to easily fit. A great place to find seating like above is Home Goods, T.J Maxx, Target or Amazon.
BUDGET-FRIENDLY CHIC SEATING
First, great advice and thank you. Second I need help I have a medium/large sofa and it’s against the wall but it’s not working. Since it’s the only living room furniture I have were should I place the couch? Any other advice would be grateful. Thanks
