Your choice of living room furniture all depends on your floor space. If you have a small living room, there are still plenty of options.
Couches and chairs can mark the transformation of a room from an austere space to a warm and inviting home. Especially when you need extra party seating.

First, you will need adequate furniture for all your partygoing guests. Here we offer a few seating suggestions.
First, and most obvious, you can always pull a chair or two over from the dining room or have folding chairs. Second, consider picking up a cube ottoman or two. They are comfy and have storage. Lastly, unique floor cushions provide the perfect accent. Use one or two per person. It's as easy as that, and everyone stays comfortable.

Sofas
The first tool in your arsenal for extra party seating is a good sofa. These are able to seat many people comfortably, and they look great in a living room area. Slumberland sofas come in a variety of materials, including leather, fabric, faux leather, microfiber, and vinyl. When you want to seat a large number of people, you can't go wrong with a sofa. You can set up your sofa facing an armchair or two and in front of several ottomans. This way, your guests will be facing each other, which can help party-time conversation.
What's more, a sofa creates a certain level of intimacy with guests. It allows social barriers normally present to be bridged during your gathering, helping the party get started. If you need help finding the perfect sofa for your space, read our sofa buying guide!
Ottomans
These are a very important part of party seating. You can use many of these for emergency storage and they can be hollow for storage. Seat guests on the ottomans or otherwise place them in front of the sofa to allow guests to put up their feet. Upholstered ottomans are comfortable and provide the perfect accent to your room's décor. You can't go wrong with an ottoman as far as your party seating goes.
