Best Living Room Sets: Types

Living room sets aren't one size fits all; instead, there are countless options available with varying numbers of furniture pieces included. Before you buy, we recommend taking a look at (or a measure of) your available space and brainstorming furniture pieces that can fit comfortably. Keep in mind that you have many options – if your space is small, you can go with a loveseat and a chair instead of a sofa and a chair. If your space is very large, you may be able to go with a four-seater sofa, a loveseat, and a chair.

3-Seater, Loveseat & Armchair: This living room set can comfortably seat six people and is one of the most standard living room sets if you'd like to implement many seating options but don't want a sectional sofa. It comes with a long three-seater sofa, a cozy loveseat that can seat two, and an armchair fit for one.

4-Seater, Loveseat & Armchair: Slightly larger than the previous living room set, this living room set can accommodate seven people and is an incredible replacement for a sectional sofa. While most sectional sofas have fixed configurations, a living room set can be moved and reconfigured as many times as you'd like. By furnishing your space with a living room set of this size, you can instantly create a conversation space in your living room fit for the whole family.

3-Seater & Loveseat: Great for open floor plans, this living room set includes one three-seater sofa and one loveseat, totaling five comfortable seats. A two-piece living room set encourages an open layout in your living room which can foster unity between rooms and make your living room feel less separate from the rest of your home.

4-Seater & Loveseat: Yet another amazing alternative to a sectional sofa, a four-seater and loveseat living room set can comfortably seat six people. Place them adjacent to each other for a sectional feel, or position them farther apart to make the most of your space. Like the three-seater and loveseat set, this living room set encourages openness.

3-Seater & Armchair: If you've got someone in your household who really likes their personal space, opt for a living room set that includes one armchair to provide them with their own place to sit alongside the rest of the family. This four-person living room set is great if you want to place a sofa facing your TV or fireplace but would still like one other matching furniture piece to tie the space together.

Loveseat & Armchair: A loveseat and armchair living room set is an excellent option for smaller living room spaces. It can also make a fantastic complement to a larger sofa of another style if you already have one in mind. Mixing and matching furniture pieces like this – with one large standout piece accompanied by two smaller matching pieces from a living room set – is a great way to make your living room look super stylish with ease. These living room sets can add three comfortable seats to your space.

Sectional Living Room Set: If you really want to include a sectional sofa in your living room, you're in luck! This is the best living room set for you. Sectional living room sets typically include a sectional sofa (that can seat anywhere from four to seven people) and a matching ottoman, though they can also add a loveseat or armchair to the mix. These are some of the largest living room sets available, so the matching furniture will really make an impact in your space.

Sofa & Loveseat: If you'd prefer to keep your living room set options more open, you can browse living room sets that broadly include at least one sofa and at least one loveseat. The sofas in this category may vary in size, so pay particular attention to the Weights & Dimensions of each piece on-site to ensure that it will fit nicely in your space.

Best Living Room Sets: Features

Standard: The furniture in standard living room sets is stationary; it doesn't conceal any secondary functions such as reclining or sleeper convertibility.

Reclining: Looking for a little more flexibility in your living room set? Opt for a set that includes at least one reclining chair. In most reclining living room sets, each piece of furniture including the sofa, loveseat, and armchair(s) can recline, adding to the comfort and spaciousness of these seats.

Sleeper: Double the functionality of your living room set by going with a set that includes one or more pieces that can be converted into a bed, usually the sofa. Furnishing your living room with one of these sets will not only increase the seating capacity of your space, but also the sleeping capacity – it's truly a win-win. Bed size may vary from sofa to sofa, so be sure to check the Product Description on-site to make sure the product you're considering is the best living room set for you.

Removable Cushions: Fixed cushions can make cleaning and vacuuming your living room furniture a hassle. Improve your ease of cleaning by opting for a set with removable cushions.

Storage: Living room sets in this category have storage features including beverage holders, armrest compartments, side pouches, and large storage ottomans. They, too, can improve the comfort and functionality of your living room set.
