There are several design challenges when you have to decorate a living room for a small space. This is a space that one person spends their most time in. It is also space where one makes their guests witness comfort. Guests are to be accommodated in that area and would be gathered to experience the atmosphere of the house. Living room furniture also adds a vibe that represents you and your personality.
Strike a balance and illusion
Designing a small living room is especially tricky as you have to limit your desires to accommodate the right stuff. It is essential to strike a balance between making the extra space in the living room along with making the living room spacious. The use of mirrors and wallpapers help in a small living room. This really helps if you do not have windows and the place feels really boxed. This mirror helps boost light in the room and creates a focal point. It also adds depth once the mirror is added to the wallpaper. It is advised that the mirror should be hanged opposite a window in order to reflect light and create space in the room. The mirror would also reflect the view outside creating an impression of an extra window in the room. The layout to be chosen should be as per the living room furniture. One side table could be sufficient in the living room as furniture. If there is still room, an extra chair or bean bag could add space to seat in the room.
Small-sized furniture pieces
It is always a good idea to add hidden storage to the small spaced living room. Home living room furniture in the form of boxed seating can act as extra storage. A few examples of small storage furniture can be a small settees or chairs that can work in the space and add storage such as love seats. Living room furniture that needs to be chosen for a little room should be small scale as compared to standard sized furniture. It is essential to understand that there is more to a living room than full-sized sofas. It is good to research and visit various furniture shops in order to determine quirky designs. One can also go to an antique store to find average room-sized furniture, as old age furniture was typically small until the last century. If you want to make the room interesting you can also have refreshing colorful or color schemed paintings in the room. If you have high ceilings in the living room, that can be used to add space to the room. This gives a larger and a grader view of the size of the room. It is also advised to fill the living room furniture with large spaces of furniture in one corner of the room in order to define edges and keep the middle area of the living room empty or less crowded. This also makes the living space uncluttered, and the modern sectional should be cleaned. Aligning the furniture in straight lines also helps in adding space to the room. It is even advised that the sofa size can also be downsized and a petite slim sofa could replace a standard sized sofa. A backless sofa also helps to add space as it can be placed in the middle of the living room. A backless sofa is also very chic and makes the seating option flexible. This backless sofa can also be used if you, later on, move into the larger space and can be added in the middle of the big living room.
