If you've been scrolling interior design accounts recently, you've likely noticed a shift: sofas are getting lower. The "low sofa" has become the defining furniture silhouette of 2026. This guide explains why, and how to find the right low sofa for your home.
What is a low sofa?
A low sofa is characterised by: low seat height (38–42 cm), low armrests (55–65 cm total), deep seats (60–70+ cm), and low backrest (65–80 cm). See our modern sofas and Scandinavian sofas — both styles embrace low profiles.
Why are low sofas trending in 2026?
Low sofas make rooms feel larger, more open, and photograph better. The Scandinavian minimalist aesthetic — hugely influential in European home design — prioritises low furniture. They're also more comfortable for extended use: a deep-seated low sofa puts the body in a naturally semi-reclined position.
