There isn't really a difference. Both terms describe the same thing - a compact sofa designed to seat two people comfortably. Some people prefer one name over the other, but they're talking about the same piece of furniture.
Measure your doorways first, including the width and height. Most loveseats are around 120-140cm wide, but check the specific measurements on the product page. If it's close, measure diagonally as you can often angle furniture through doorways. Some models have removable legs which helps.
Not really, but they need a bit more care than some fabrics. Regular hoovering with an upholstery attachment keeps them looking good. For spills, blot them straight away rather than rubbing. Most velvet used in furniture today is more durable than you'd think.
Yes, loveseats work brilliantly in bedrooms if you have the space. They're perfect for getting dressed, reading, or just having somewhere to sit that isn't the bed. The compact size means they fit better than full sofas in most bedrooms.
It depends on the model, but most storage loveseats hold a good amount. You can usually fit several blankets, cushions, or a pile of magazines. Check the dimensions of the storage compartment on the product page to see if it'll work for what you need.
Both work fine, it's mostly about looks. Wooden legs tend to suit traditional or Scandinavian styles, whilst metal legs can look more modern or industrial. The quality of attachment matters more than the material - make sure whichever you choose is properly secured.
Leave at least 40-50cm in front for a coffee table and walkway. You want enough room to sit down comfortably and get up without squeezing past things. Side clearance isn't as important unless you have armchairs nearby.
It varies by model. Some have removable seat cushions which makes cleaning easier, whilst others have fixed cushions. Check the product description if this matters to you. Fixed cushions often keep their shape better over time, but removable ones are easier to maintain.
