A\u00a0living room<\/a>\u00a0is often the hub of a house, but when it\u2019s cramped and narrow, choosing and arranging furniture can feel like difficult for us, especially for\u00a0 studio apartment<\/a>s and small home<\/a>s, the question is not just how to make the\u00a0living room\u00a0furniture layout work,\u00a0but it’s how to make it all work in a way that serves our purposes while still leaving\u00a0room to breathe.<\/p>\n

Spacious Living Room<\/h2>\n

To have a small living room that can do it all and still feel spacious<\/a>. We have to maximizing the potential of a small living room with carefully\u00a0selecting furnishings that fit the space and can serve multiple purposes.\u00a0Getting creative with your layout<\/a> and\u00a0finding ways to arrange your furniture<\/a> to make use of every square foot, even those awkward corners. From there, you\u2019ll want to choose decor, such as art and mirrors, that adds personality without taking up space.<\/p>\n

Create Focal Point<\/h2>\n

When we walk into a room, the first thing we notice is the room\u2019s focal point<\/a>. It may an attractive feature, such as a\u00a0fireplace or view, or it may be a not-so-fabulous television or blank wall. The focal point of a room influences the arrangement of furniture. Decorating the room to emphasize the focal point is a great way to re-energize the space. It\u00a0also takes the focus off the less attractive features of the room.<\/p>\n

Choose One Big Furniture To Make it Bigger<\/h2>\n

To make a small room look bigger it\u2019s best to use larger pieces of\u00a0furniture, but fewer of them. For instance,\u00a0in a small living room, instead of trying to fit in a sofa, chairs, ottoman, coffee table and side tables, try using a regular-size sofa, a large ottoman that doubles as a\u00a0coffee table, and perhaps a single side chair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Scale Down Furniture<\/h2>\n

In a narrow living room, every piece of furniture matters. Choose leaner tables and wall sconces to save much-needed floor space. For seating, tight-back sofas and club chairs are your friends. Consider wall-mounted shelves and a floating desk over bulky bookcases and workstations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Get Creative with the Layout<\/h2>\n

Limited space challenges you to think beyond seating conventions. If the room is narrow but also long, It recommends placing sofas back-to-back to allow for two seating areas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Remove Clutter<\/h2>\n

Clutter is a big problem for small rooms. More clutter make your room become narrow. So Make it sure that everything has a place and everything actually stays in its place. In a small space even the smallest amount of clutter will affect the overall look of the room.<\/p>\n

Use Decor For Visual Interest<\/h2>\n

To making it feel bigger and more interesting. It recommends adding a larger attention to balance scale, such as a piece of art or built-in bookshelves. Try an eye-catching gallery wall or artwork or mirrors, or add a bold accent wall or wallpaper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep Simple And Cozy<\/h2>\n

Cozy means Keep it simple but you can seating close together and intimate. It will make your room feel bigger or spacious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hang Artwork with Wide Frames and Mats<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s better to use fewer furniture but larger pieces of art.\u00a0Use artwork\u00a0to\u00a0create a focal point\u00a0and place smaller pieces in larger frames. Gallery walls are still an option, but instead of using many small pieces grouped together use fewer pieces with wider mats. The effect will be the same but the space will feel less crowded.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Go all White And\u00a0Keep Curtains Light<\/h2>\n

Keep walls and floors all white to brighten up the space. A gallery wall with wide-matted art and white frames blends in with the wall, so the effect is eye-catching \u2014 yet not a bit cluttered. That way you can make a colorful piece of furniture the focal point of the room, so it’s not like the walls are closing in on you.\u00a0Light curtains and shade help maximize the light in a small living room. It’s even better if you can match them to your wall color<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose A Big Rug<\/h2>\n

Choosing a\u00a0larger rug\u00a0\u2014 even in a\u00a0bold pattern<\/span>\u00a0\u2014 is a trick that makes a room feel bigger. Unlike smaller rugs, the large size doesn’t visually break up the floor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add Ottomans<\/h2>\n

Use\u00a0ottomans<\/span>\u00a0in place of a traditional coffee table to make better use of your space (because, let’s face it, a tiny house means your living room often does double or triple duty when people come over). You can top them with a tray to hold flowers and books, or call them into use as extra seating<\/p>\n
