Newlyweds: Get Cozy on a Love Seat

By Francesca Di Meglio, About.com

Love seats are a great addition or alternative to a giant, modern sofa for newlyweds. They take up less space, which makes them perfect for small rooms, and they encourage canoodling because you have to sit cheek to cheek. If you'd like to get cozy with your husband or wife on a love seat, here are some great options (photos courtesy of Pricegrabber):

Soft to the Touch: A Velvet Love Seat

It's a great love seat for newlyweds who want to feel like they're still on their honeymoon even when they're home.

Rustic Appeal: Leather Love Seat

Coaster Fine Furniture Biltmore Button Tufted Leather Loveseat - Pricegrabber
The Coaster Fine Furniture Biltmore Button Tufted Leather Loveseat is a masculine piece of furniture but its details -- from the tufted leather to its shape -- bring a feminine sense to the sofa. For this reason, it is a great compromise for newlyweds who can not agree on furniture choices and style. This leather love seat is great for the couple with an old-world sensibility and rustic taste. Best of all, because leather tends to be cold, you'll need to keep each other warm.
