What is a small sofa called?
1 Answer
A small sofa is generally referred to as a settee. Settees are typically small seats that can fit two or more people, but they aren’t as wide as couches or sofas. A settee is more intimate and offers more sitting room than an armchair. Settees often have a backrest for optimal support and are frequently upholstered. Find antique and vintage settees on 1stDibs.
