Guest Picks: 20 Sofas for Every Budget and Space
From tufted to slipcovered, get cozy with these diverse seating options
A sofa is one of the most used pieces of furniture in a home, especially in the family room where comfort is key. In a living room used infrequently, a more formal, elegant sofa may be in order. Sofas come in all sizes, shapes and styles, and there are a myriad of options to choose from — skirted or no skirt, one seat cushion or more, square arms or rounded, tight back or loose cushions. Which is your preference?
Don't be swayed by the fabrics shown on the sofa images — you can usually choose from an assortment of them. I say keep it simple (no pattern, neutral color) as you won't tire of it, and buy the best quality your budget allows. — Vanessa from Decor Happy

A sofa in a bold color is striking. Since you will have it for awhile, choose a color you love!
This Lee Industries sofa in a neutral cotton fabric is extremely comfortable and the slipcover is kid-friendly. Pillows and accessories in bold colors can be easily changed.
Morgan Sofa
I love the William Birch arms and the brass casters on this sofa. Classic, versatile and pretty.
Traditional Sofas
Either you love Chesterfields or you don't. Even though they are traditional, they work well in a modern interior. (Oh, and I do love them, especially the button tufting on the seat back.)
Traditional Sofas
The barely-there arms, graceful legs and simple silhouette of this modern yet classic sofa means it would work well in any space. I would love this for my living room.
Spruce Street Sofa - upholstered w/ nailheads
The nailhead trim on the sofa arms adds loads of personality.
Traditional Sofas
Could this sofa be any more beautiful? It seriously has me weak in the knees. It's something you would see in a très chic Parisian salon with striking architecture and herringbone floors.
Contemporary Sofas
The high arms on this sofa imply it's not conducive to napping. Instead, place this sofa in a living room where guests sip cocktails and wear their Sunday best!
Traditional Sofas
It's no wonder that this sofa is the most popular of the Sarah Richardson line. Clean lined, comfortable and stylish, it would work in all but the most traditional of interiors.
Contemporary Sofas
There's something about this sofa that I love. Its elegant lines and curved arms make it suitable for a more formal living room — not a room where lounging is in order!
Traditional Sofas
This is my favorite sofa from the West Elm line. Affordable, it comes in two widths and there are a number of fabrics to choose from.
Azure Sofa
This diminutive, curvy tufted sofa has been a long-time love of mine. You may have seen it upholstered in a vibrant blue fabric (that's unfortunately now discontinued). I'm loving it in this light blue gray fabric called Sky.
English Roll Arm Upholstered Sofa
English roll arm sofas are always a classic, especially when upholstered in a linen fabric. I adore the graceful curves on the sides of this one.
Klyne Sofa
Love the simple lines of this sofa. At 80" wide, it is the perfect size for a small space.
Turner Sofa
This sofa offers something a little different with its curved, buttoned tight back. The curved arms and turned feet lend a classic feel.
Ektorp Sofa, Blekinge White
I have had my slipcovered Ektorp sofa for almost a decade and it has held up well. I have three different slipcovers: white for the summer, beige for the winter and a floral for just when I feel like it. You can't beat the price point.
Carlisle Slipcovered Sofa
Another slipcovered sofa, this time with two seat and back cushions which I tend to favor. This one is designed for comfort at 45" deep.
Lee Industries Sofa, Wesley Silver
I love the gently-curved arms and the loose back cushions on this Belgian-inspired sofa.
Modern Sofas
This sofa has a beachy vibe. I would choose a fabric and color similar to the one in the photo, then add some pillows in shades of blue.
Geoffrey Sofa
Just love the long, lean, graceful lines of this sofa — but it's not for the budget-conscious.
Nicki II Slipcovered Sofa
I have blogged about this sofa before. I have sat on it and let me tell you, it is so comfortable thanks to the 41" depth. They even note on their site that "the low roll arms make fabulous headrests for napping."
