10 Ways to Make a Living Room Feel More Spacious

There are many clever design tricks to create the feeling of space even in the smallest room. Furniture placement, color palette selection, accessories—all of these will work for this task.

When choosing a coffee table, look for options that can serve multiple functions if needed: be a comfortable footstool, store small items, or fold easily.

Choose as many identical materials as possible. This will make your interior harmonious rather than overly varied in tones.

Don't forget about the walls. When windows, walls, and doors are styled in harmony, a smooth visual space is created, which adds extra square meters to your living room.

An L-shaped sofa not only adds seating space to your living room but can also separate a workspace or kitchen area from the lounge.

In a narrow and long space, arrange furniture not only along the walls but also across, to avoid making the room seem longer. Transparent tables and chairs made of thin wood look great in such settings.

Mirrors are the most important element in a small room. They balance light transitions and suit glossy or leather furniture well.

For decorating a small living room, choose neutral pastel colors, adding bright accents. The more light tones in the interior, the more airy and spacious the room looks.

Built-in furniture comes in handy. This built-in sofa in medieval style proves that no inch is wasted in this elegant living room.

Focus attention on the corners of the room. Space under stairs is often unused, but that's not a reason to ignore it. For decoration, many shelves for storage or a cozy sofa for rest work best.

Show off your treasures. Why hide what you can use to decorate your home? In this living room, the owner installed open shelves, giving every guest a thousand reasons to stay longer.
