There is a secret with which a person can actually ensure that a small size living room looks bigger and spacious. Usually, in cities people have smaller houses and these houses do not have very big rooms. It makes for a tough task to actually decorate these rooms in a way that they look cozy and comfortable, instead of looking cramped.
Living room decor will be the focus of this article since living room is such an important area. People relax, watch television, chit-chat, read and do ‘n’ number of activities to entertain themselves. Therefore, it becomes a challenge to maximize space and ensure that the room looks spacious and comfortable.
Through your furniture arrangement, one can easily fool the eyes and create a spacious living room. A small living room needs multi-purpose furnishing items which require less footage and have more functions. If there has to be a table, the table can be made out of plastic laminate solutions and could be made into a folding one to make sure that one can just fold it into a corner whenever one is not using it. Likewise, there are sleeper sofas which are very practical and ...
... can even be turned into beds to sleep. Also, elevated furnishing with slender legs and chairs which do not have arms make the area look more open and spacious.
If one outfits one’s living room in the same colored living furnishing as that of the walls, one is able to make the space look larger. Adding variety in terms of textures and colors may also help in creating a sense of breadth. If there is a room adjoining the small living room, one can create a visual connection between the two rooms and help create an illusion of more area at hand. Visual connection is easy to create through similar flooring materials, similar wall colors, similar furnishing chosen wisely out of the laminates catalogue! When similarity would flow from one room to another, the feeling that would be created would be of space and area.
Lighting also helps in creatively turning small rooms into bigger looking spaces which are expansive and bright. Colorful curtains, wall cut-outs into the adjoining rooms, adding materials like mirrors, glass and having wall art would add a lot of detail and create a feeling of space. Creating a sense of skylight with recessed lighting also adds up to the feeling of space.
Bonus tip- Keep in mind that all the furnishing, all the accessories and all other elements and aspects right from the wood laminates to the furniture arrangement, everything should hang in harmony and as a whole.
