There are certain pieces of furniture that are incredibly versatile beyond their primary use. One of my favorites is a settee, which is a small sofa that typically seats only two people. While it looks great in its most obvious use in the living room, this small piece of furniture looks great in a variety of different spots throughout the home.
What’s also great about this adorable piece is how many different styles it comes in, from vintage looks to ultra modern. You can accent it like you would a normal sofa using throws or pillows to change it up for each season. It’s even perfect for an awkward space, such as a hall or foyer.
Check out these 10 stylish spaces to get several ideas for how to decorate with a settee.
