We're thrilled with our couch — wonderful quality, and clearly superior to anything we've bought from big-box retailers. Kerri was patient over several meetings and respectful of our budget and timeline.

The LA apartment sofa problem
The sofa that looked right in the showroom overwhelmed your actual room.
You have been in this position. You measured the wall. You found a sofa that was close. You ordered it, or you did not — and either way the room still has not felt right. Standard sofas were built for American suburban living rooms averaging 330 square feet. Your LA apartment was not designed around that number. Your sofa should not be either.
"Almost right is not good enough when you live with it every day. A sofa built to the centimetre for your specific apartment is not a smaller version of a real sofa. It is the right sofa."

Why standard sofas never quite fit LA apartments
Most retail sofas are 38–42 inches deep. In a typical LA apartment living room under 14 feet wide, that leaves barely enough space to walk through. A 32-inch custom depth transforms the same room.
Made By Inch fix → Any depth from 28 inches. Built to your specific floor-to-circulation measurement.
84-inch and 96-inch are the standard retail lengths. Your wall might be 91 inches — meaning you either have a gap or the sofa is too long. Neither looks intentional.
Made By Inch fix → Any length to the centimetre. Your wall length, not a standard size.
Most LA apartment front doors are 32–36 inches wide. A standard sofa carried on its side is often 34+ inches tall — requiring a door removal that damages the frame.
Made By Inch fix → Built in sections. Every section carries through standard LA doors without door removal.
Your apartment has a specific layout — a corner, a galley entrance, a load-bearing column — that no standard sofa configuration accounts for. The result is a room that never quite feels right.
Made By Inch fix → Configuration designed around your specific floor plan. Nothing is standard.
Bring your room measurements. We design from there.
No standard size fits every LA apartment — but these are the configurations we build most often, matched to typical room sizes. Bring your wall measurement to your free consultation and we will design from your exact dimensions, not from this list.
Studio / under 600 sq ft
Compact straight sofa or small chaise. Depth of 30–34 inches to preserve floor space. A 2-seat sofa at 64–72 inches keeps the room from feeling overwhelmed.
64–80"
Typical length
1-bedroom / 600–900 sq ft
Chaise sectional or compact L-shape. The chaise gives full lounging in a smaller footprint. 90–110 inches total is the sweet spot for most 1-bedroom LA apartments.
90–110"
Typical length
2-bedroom / 900–1,400 sq ft
L-shape sectional or full chaise. More room means more configuration options. A custom L-shape at 110–130 inches can anchor an open-plan living room without overpowering it.
110–130"
Typical length
Penthouse / loft / 1,400+ sq ft
Any configuration — the constraint is aesthetic not spatial. Corner sectionals, U-shapes, and modular arrangements all work. We design to the specific architecture of the space.
Any
Configuration
Will it fit through your door?
Every bar is green because we measure your door before we build your sofa. Bring your access dimensions to your free consultation.
Configuration options
Which configuration is right for your specific apartment?
Every option below is available in any size — including sizes that do not exist in any furniture store. We will help you choose at your free consultation.
Compact Chaise
Full lounging in the smallest possible footprint. The most popular apartment configuration we build — a standard seat with a chaise extension on one end. Fits through any LA apartment door in two sections.
Most popular for 1BR apartments
Available from 84" total · Custom depth from 28"
Apartment L-Shape
A scaled L-shape built to your exact wall lengths — not a standard size that is close. Anchors the room and creates a natural layout without overwhelming the space. Every section fits through a standard door.
1BR and 2BR apartments
Available from 96" · Custom to your wall lengths
Compact Straight
A straight sofa at any length from 56 to 96 inches with a reduced depth of 28 to 34 inches. The cleanest solution for narrow LA apartments and studio spaces where every inch of floor space matters.
Studios + narrow rooms
From 56" · Depth from 28" · 2 or 3 seat
Corner Alcove Fit
If your apartment has a corner alcove or a specific architectural element, we build a configuration designed around it precisely. The sofa disappears into the space as if it was always part of the architecture.
Corner spaces + alcoves
Custom built to your specific corner dimensions
Modular for Renters
Individual sections that connect in your current apartment layout and reconnect differently in your next one. The right choice for LA renters who want a custom sofa that moves with them — not against them.

Any configuration · Sections reconnect in any layout
Studio Room Divider
Your studio has one open room. You want a living space that feels separate from where you sleep — without a divider, without a curtain, without making the room feel smaller. A low-back sofa placed precisely is the solution. Most people do not know this is possible until they see it.

"Will it fit through my front door?"
Yes. Every time. The moment the delivery team arrives and you wonder whether it will fit — that moment does not happen with a Made By Inch sofa. Because we measured your door, your hallway, and your stairwell before we cut a single piece of fabric. The sofa was designed to come through your door. It does.
Take samples home before you decide.
Step 01
We measure your access at your consultation.
Front door width, hallway width, stairwell dimensions, elevator opening. Every measurement that matters is taken at your free consultation — before any fabric is ordered or any frame is built.
Step 02
We carry it in and assemble it in your room.
White-glove delivery means we carry every section through your building, up your stairs or in your elevator, through your door, and assemble the complete sofa in your room. You never touch it. It arrives ready.
Step 03
We design sections around your door.
Your sofa is designed in sections that each fit through your specific access points. No section is wider than your narrowest door. The sections connect once inside your room and look like one seamless piece.
Apartment sofas we have made for Los Angeles homes.

Common questions
Questions about apartment sofas in LA — answered.

Can you build a custom sofa that fits a small Los Angeles apartment?
Yes. Made By Inch in Hermosa Beach builds custom apartment-size sofas and sectionals specifically for Los Angeles condos and apartments. Every sofa is built to your exact room dimensions — not a standard size that is close to fitting. We take your room measurements at your free consultation, design the configuration around your specific floor plan, and build the sofa to fit precisely. No standard size has ever fit your room perfectly because standard sizes were not designed for your room. A Made By Inch apartment sofa was.
What size sofa is best for a small Los Angeles apartment?
For a small Los Angeles apartment, the right sofa size depends on your specific room dimensions — not a general guideline. As a starting point, most LA apartments under 700 square feet work best with a sofa depth of 32 to 36 inches and a length under 84 inches. For apartments under 500 square feet, a compact chaise sectional between 90 and 110 inches total is often the right choice. The key is building to your exact measurements, not selecting from standard sizes. Made By Inch builds custom apartment sofas at our Hermosa Beach showroom for LA condos and apartments of all sizes.
Will a custom sofa fit through a standard Los Angeles apartment door?
Yes. Every sofa Made By Inch builds for a Los Angeles apartment is designed in sections that carry through standard apartment doorways, hallways, and up staircases. Most LA apartment doors are 32 to 36 inches wide. At your free consultation we take doorway and access measurements and design the sofa accordingly. You will not receive a sofa that cannot be delivered into your home. This is one of the most common concerns LA apartment buyers have and it is one we solve on every single order before anything is built.
How do I measure my Los Angeles apartment for a custom sofa?
For a Los Angeles apartment, bring three measurements to your free consultation at our Hermosa Beach showroom: the length of the wall where the sofa will sit, the distance between the sofa position and any opposing walls or furniture, and the width of your apartment front door and any interior hallways. If you have a floor plan, bring that too. Kerri guides every customer through the measuring process at the consultation and will confirm all dimensions before any fabric is ordered.
What is the best sofa configuration for a studio apartment in Los Angeles?
For a studio apartment in Los Angeles, the best sofa configuration depends on the room layout. In an open-plan studio, a small L-shape or chaise sectional can divide the sleeping and living areas without a room divider. In a narrow studio, a straight sofa with a shallow depth of 32 to 34 inches maximises floor space. In a corner studio with a specific alcove, a custom-built corner configuration made to the exact dimensions of the alcove is often the most elegant solution. Made By Inch builds all of these configurations at our Hermosa Beach showroom for LA studio apartments.
How much does a custom apartment sofa cost in Los Angeles?
Custom apartment-size sofas from Made By Inch are competitively priced with premium furniture retailers — without retail markup. Many Los Angeles apartment and condo buyers find a handcrafted Made By Inch sofa costs the same or less than a comparable piece from RH or a premium LA showroom, and fits their room significantly better because it was built for it. Pricing depends on size, configuration, and fabric. Book a free consultation at our Hermosa Beach showroom at 321 Pier Avenue for an exact quote.
Do you deliver custom sofas to Los Angeles apartments and condos?
Yes. Made By Inch delivers custom apartment-size sofas and sectionals to condos and apartments across Los Angeles County. White-glove delivery is included — we carry each section through your building, up the stairs or in the elevator, through your apartment door, and assemble the sofa in your room. We deliver to apartments and condos in Silver Lake, Echo Park, Koreatown, West Hollywood, Downtown LA, Santa Monica, Venice, Brentwood, Culver City, and all LA neighbourhoods from our Hermosa Beach showroom.
