It’s true — this sofa costs under a grand. Photo: Courtesy of retailer A sofa might just be the most important household purchase you make — you certainly spend more waking hours on it than anything else in the apartment. Sure, you could spend several thousand dollars on a piece from Knoll or Minotti, but to make it really fun, we decided to challenge interior designers to pick out their favorite affordable sofas and love seats . Below, the 14 best for under $1,000 — and a few under $500.
$999 at Article Buy Article Cirrus Briar Gray Sofa Article’s Cirrus sofa also got two mentions from our designers. Allison Whitt of Design X Interiors, a hospitality-design firm in San Diego, recommends the less-expensive version upholstered in gray fabric above, while Venturo likes it in green velvet . Whitt calls the sofa sophisticated, comfortable, and versatile: “It has just enough detail to anchor a room without weighing it down.
$999 at Article Buy Chamberlin Velvet Sofa This is a more streamlined, velvet three-seater that’s no less enticing, according to Forehand, who likes its “retro vibe” and adds that it comes at a great price for a sofa that’s made-to-order. At just under $1,000, it’s available in eight jewel-toned colors that she says would “create a focal point in any room.”
$601 at Amazon Buy $601 at Amazon Buy Modway Engage Right Arm Loveseat Here’s another mid-century modern–inspired piece from Modway that interior designer Vicente Wolf says is another affordable option that “works well mixed with higher-priced pieces.” He likes that it has “firm seating with generous width,” which makes it comfortable. With just one arm rest, it can also work as a divan or a daybed for a more casual kind of seating.
From $480 at Bed Bath & Beyond Buy Best classic sofas under $1,000 Ivory Feather Filled Brynn Sofa $720 For those who prefer more classically styled seating, two of our designers recommend the Brynn sofa, which Forehand calls “more traditional, with the slipcover style.” She adds that this is soft — “like a big comfy bed” — thanks to its feather-filled cushions .
