Settees are elegant, compact upholstered sofas that combine style with functionality, perfect for adding character to various spaces. Distinct from loveseats and chaise lounges, they typically feature a high back and arms, although some modern designs go armless. This article showcases eight settee styles, emphasizing their versatility for reading nooks, entryways, and as statement pieces. The featured settees include styles inspired by cottagecore aesthetics, Regency design, and outdoor wicker options, demonstrating their adaptability to diverse interior and exterior settings.
These petite sofas are a perfect addition to a reading nook, a spot for a quick chat in the entryway, or even a statement piece that anchors the art hanging above it.
We've been leaning into cottagecore, and this Cloth and Co. Thelma settee has all the right moves-stripes, hand-upholstered linen, ruffles, and a cloud-like cushion.
For any room that lacks a little je ne sais quoi, look no further than Pierce & Ward's new collection for West Elm, a vintage-inspired piece that uses sustainably sourced wood.
The iconic Knoll Womb chair also comes in a cozy settee that adds a burst of personality to any room, available in more than 130 colorways.
