Don’t let your small living room pinch your style. No matter how small your space, it can still look stylish whether you own or rent. Smart small living room ideas ensure there is no wasted space in a compact living space. Discover the best small-space décor tricks for personalizing the most lived-in spot in your home.
Natural Light
Make the most of natural light in the room by keeping window treatment ideas simple. Shutters are a brilliant alternative to curtains, providing privacy and light control without taking up space. If you do choose curtains, keep them light like the example here and make sure they can be swept away from the window for light or alternatively go for Roman or roller blinds.
Connection To Another Space
If your small living room is able to join with another space such as your dining, no matter how large or small, embrace the feeling of extra space. Choose coordinating furniture and furnishings to decorate the two areas to unite them and make the journey from one to the other feel seamless, this will help to make any small living area feel more generous.
White Walls
White walls can be dull, but they can also create a calming mood. Consider embracing a white-on-white interior. Pairing your white walls with equally pale furniture is an elegant and straightforward way to make any small space feel brighter and larger.
Greens
Plants give life and space to every room and they create a relaxing atmosphere. If you have limited space for big plants for your small living room, you can experiment with different types of plant holders and create at least one corner dedicated to nature where you can relax.
Sitting Options
The thing you should never do if you have a small living room is cram in too much furniture. Instead, choose a sofa that’s proportional to the size of the space, and if you’re still in need of more seating, consider smaller armchairs that can be easily maneuvered and fit into the space.
