everything these days. And there are a few to decorate a small living room too!

bigger, classier and well kept.
1. Don’t go overboard with the coffee table
I know how some people are fond of big
coffee tables. But in the case of a small living room you might need to rethink
your decision. Get a small round one as it will take up less space and also
less knee bumps!
2. Neutral colors are good to go
While painting a small living room or
choosing furniture for it, make sure you choose neutral colors to do so. These
will be pleasant to the eyes and will also reflect more light which will give
the appearance of larger area to the room.
3. Mirror on the wall
You know the trick, mirrors makes any room look
bigger. Here, the trick is to place a mirror right in front of a window which
will make the room look bigger and brighter. And who doesn’t love admiring
themselves in the mirror?
4. Focal point
Choose a focal point for your room. This
will be the central point and most of the times the furniture is set according
to it. It could be a fire place, a television set or even a piece of art.
5. Large wall hangings
Be it art work or pictures or anything of
that sort; make sure it is large in size and is placed at eye level. Small
pictures would make the room seem cramped whereas minimal large pictures would
give it a grand feel.
6. Multipurpose furniture is the key
Every house has many extra items whether
needed or not. It could be a problem in the case of a small living room. You
wouldn’t want to make it a mess by keeping all the things in one room. Here,
multipurpose furniture comes to the rescue. You could easily store things in
them and this will instantly tidy up the room.
7. Don’t overlook corners
Often corners are neglected but they could be of great
use. A book shelf or a bean bag or a statement chair would look nice. You add a
personal touch to that corner and it could your little cozy space!
