A small living room can feel spacious with smart choices. Focus on light, clear floor space and furniture that does more than one job.
Keep colours light
Light walls and a consistent palette reflect more light and visually enlarge the room. Add one darker accent for depth.
Choose furniture wisely
- Pick a sofa with storage or slim arms
- Use nesting tables instead of one large coffee table
- Mount the TV on the wall to free floor space
Use light and mirrors
Layer warm lighting, hang a large mirror opposite the window, and use sheer curtains hung high to draw the eye up. Keep surfaces tidy: clutter shrinks a room faster than size.
