Configuring the layout of your living room can feel like a herculean task, especially if it is smaller than most.
When you are decorating a living room with a limited size, trying to fit everything can make the space look cluttered and cramped. An awkwardly shaped living room can be baffling to decorate, but no space is ever too odd for stunning decor. Effective layout strategy and smart styling can transform your small living room into a stylish oasis. Here are six tips that you can follow to decorate your small living room.
Switch a sofa for loveseat couch
When living alone or with your partner, a loveseat couch is enough to suffice for your needs. Combine a comfy, plush loveseat with a small table for a spacious living room. This piece of furniture takes up little space and is an ideal option for tiny rooms.
Raise the ceiling by adding vertical stripes
Low ceilings can sometimes cramp the style of your living room. You can add subtle vertical stripes in a compact living room to make the ceiling seem higher. Accentuating tall windows is another way of adding some height to a room.
Install hanging shelves
If the floor space of your living room is at premium, but you have tons of books to store, consider installing hanging shelves. Open shelves are a perfect decor for living rooms and are an incredible way to wisely use the wall space.
Opt for club chairs
If your living room is too small, forgo the couch and opt for two cozy club armchairs to save space and also to add a vintage outlook. An upholstered, cushy club chair can offer comfort with style.
Pick multi-purpose furniture
When space is lacking, the only option is to get creative and select decor or furniture that is multi-purpose to offer storage space. For instance, a small ottoman with a storage cabinet can serve as a multi-purpose piece of furniture.
Strategic display of artwork and incorporate mirrors
A gallery wall with strategically displayed artwork extending up to the ceiling can accentuate the height of the room. Bright artworks can make the space of the room seem larger. Mirrors make any small space look much larger. You can prop up big mirrors or even layer the walls with framed mirrors to make the tiny space look open.
So, go ahead and pick the ideas that work best for your small living room.
