Guest Picks: Settees for Every Room and Style

One of my clients recently moved into a new home with a great little nook in the kitchen. She didn't need to fill it with another desk or storage piece, so we decided it would be the perfect place for a comfy sitting area. And because it's in a major traffic area, we knew the space could only accommodate a compact piece of furniture. A settee fit her space and needs perfectly.

I've gathered here some options that are interpretations of the classic settee and are all under 60 inches long, which is the perfect length for the end of a bed, a foyer, a kitchen or a small apartment. — Julieann from Jace Interiors and CreateGirl
