While a small living room might have limited space or little square footage, it can be furnished to look more spacious and stylish with the right methods. In addition, arranging a small living room is simpler than furnishing a large one because fewer objects are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the right furniture and home appliances, you can make a small living room look spacious while improving the overall decor. You don’t need to spend a lot on new furniture. There are many DIY projects you can do to improve your small living room. You can make a pallet, a sofa<\/a>, reupholster your old one<\/a>, make a sliding door, build a coffee table, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post will show you how to furnish your small living room and point out the little tips and tricks you may find useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Living Room Ideas <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some awesome ideas on how you can upgrade your small living room:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replace Sofas With Club Chairs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most sofa sets occupy a large space when compared to club chairs. In fact, club chairs can occupy tight places and move around incredibly simply, making a tiny living room appear larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your living room has a fireplace section or TV, we recommend placing the club chairs close to the fireplace or tv stand so that you can see the fireplace or TV easily while, at the same time, having a conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Club chairs are suitable for a smaller space, as they offer you more floor space, thereby improving the layout of a small living room. If you already own club chairs but use them in your dining room, why not try a little reshuffle and see how it looks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, if you prefer to keep your sofa, you can very well do so. You can customise it to your liking and make it more comfortable<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporate Some Large Items <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While a small living area might have limited floor space, it’s still a good idea to incorporate at least one larger item. For instance, a medium-sized chandelier <\/strong>might make a small living space look more elegant and attractive, tricking the mind into picturing it as a big room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the chandelier should not be placed directly above the sofa or sofa bed<\/a>, as this may make the room look cluttered. Also, keep in mind that it needs to hang at a suitable height to prevent any bumps or knocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Ceilings To Maximise Vertical Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

High ceilings are a great feature for making a small living room look bigger than before, especially if it has high windows. With such ceilings, you can frame your windows with high curtains. Choose a set of curtains that ties in various aspects of your living room – whether that be in terms of colour or pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the room look even more stylish, we recommend that the curtains have enough material to cover the whole length of the wall – from the top of the window to the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hang Artwork To Act As A Focal Point<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wall-mounted artwork pieces<\/strong> can style up a compact living room, improving the overall decor of the small space. While a gallery of wall-mounted art pieces might make a tiny living room look congested, the right prints can improve the ambience of a space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the space look bigger than it is, you can mount the art pieces at different levels and spots. In this case, having different-sized or coloured frames can work to your advantage, adding a bit more colour and light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low Furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your living room doesn’t have tall ceilings, opt for low furniture such as low sofas, low coffee tables, and low chairs. Such furniture creates an illusion that tricks the mind into thinking that the ceiling is high, making a small living room look bigger than it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Coffee Tables of Different Sizes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why not make a statement in your living room?

Use coffee tables of different shapes and sizes to add more character to your lounge space.
