Top Tips for Designing a Small Living Room with Style
1. Add A Mirror
Living room: Mirrors are a versatile decor item in terms of where you may want to put them in your home. So, while they are bomb for just staring at yourself, they are also able to make a room feel more open. Position mirrors on the wall opposite a window, so that light that comes through the window reflects on the mirror, amplifying the luminosity and making the room much bigger than it is. If you like to make it more of a feature, then paint other wall or add wallpaper to highlight, centered with the mirror behind it. This will create a more open feel to the living room.
2. Get Vertical
These include long, narrow living rooms and smaller squares or rectangular ones. Every living room consists of at least one wall, and this wall should always be converted into a vertical space. In other words, those cluster frames are made for a wall that makes an impact.
3. Smaller Sofas
We know a big sectional is nice and great for lounging, but a big couch just doesn’t fit a small living room. Choose an appropriately sized sofa so that your living room does not seem cramped. This could signify a love seat and chair or an additional little three-person couch. Smaller doesn’t mean not in fashion or comfortable. So, get out there and start looking for yours, but on a baby size scale.
4. It’s All About The Corners
Space is very limited in smaller living rooms, which is why the corner of the room as in this picture must be an area that is 100% maximized. This can be accomplished in an L-shaped sectional, provided it doesn’t fill the entire room. A sectional will actually make a room look bigger only if it has a full corner and some free space around it. The sectional will allow for a smaller coffee table to fit in the corner and possibly some other furnishings, such as a tall bookshelf could fit next to the sectional.
5. House Plants
Plants not only produce a little fresh oxygen but also give a room a bit of character. House plants are also unique decorative elements they provide a more greener feeling environment as you place house plants on a corner, by the window or even beside the furniture like a sofa or chair. If you have light source nearby, house plants also right spot for bookshelves. Arranging Succulent Terrarium on Coffee TableSucculent terrariums are also a great idea for putting on the top of a coffee table. Just a little garden oasis of your own, indoors.
6. Hidden Storage
Many furniture brands have shifted towards producing pieces that are not only fashionable but also serve an additional purpose as storage. Which is useful for smaller living rooms/apartments. Some footstools, sofas, and coffee tables will reveal a little storage area inside. Just like stools, sofas, and coffee tables have baskets, many footstools have a removable lid that opens up for storing linens and blankets.
