Decorating Tips On Small Space - Living Rooms

So you have a small space for a living room? And you cringe everytime you look at it and wished you have a bigger space to accomodate your furnitures and fittings and other nostalgic items you've collected over the years.

Well, large or small doesn't really matter actually, as long as you apply the correct decorating techniques. For example, even a large living room would look messy and cluttered if you the arrangement of your furniture does not allow free moement and flow.

Now, let's get working!

Goal: To make a small living area look larger

Solution:

Clear The Path
Keep the furniture and furnishings knee-height, to eliminate obstructions. The farther you can see into, and through, a space, the larger and more open it will seem. Ottomans and low benches are one way to accomplish this.



Use Few Large Furniture
Also, reduce visual clutter by using fewer, larger pieces of furniture and accessories. Put one big armoire at a corner, a large chest as a table, a large sofa, and nothing else.

Go Neutral
Choose pale or neutral tones. Cool colors like blue and green will also help.

Use Small Prints or Go Mono
Limit yourself to small prints, and if you must use big prints, chose those which are within the similar color range. Go monochromatic.

Create A Focus
Place an armchair, a cupboard, a throw or any single piece of item in contrasting color than the rest of the colors in the room. This would create focus, and immediately boost the mood of a small room. To make a small space look larger does not mean making it look flat and dull.

Work Around A Great Piece
Work around an already-there item. If you have a fireplace, for example, work around it. This fireplace could also be your focal point.

Bare The Windows And Floor
Use bare windows and floors, and unbleached cottons and linens. Keep the wall clear.

Bring The Flower In
Bring the nature in, place a single flower in a clear vase in the room

Storage, Storage, Storage
Keep the place tidy and uncluttered. Use wall shelves to store small items, such as magazines, newspaper, CDs, DVDs and so on. For blankets, consider multi-function chests and ottomans that can also be used as tables or seats.

Get Creative
If storage is a problem (due to small space), get creative - hang that television on the wall, use a folding tables and chairs, paint closet doors the same color as your wall.

Use Mirror
Use mirrors for space and depth. To avoid bumping into 'yourself' everytime you enter a room, place the mirror 'behind' you, and high enough to avoid too much eye contact.

Get The Natural Light In
Open the windows - get the natural light in as much as possible

Indulge In A Little Luxury
Indulge - small space equals to 'less costly to furnish'. Buy an expensive modern arm chair to indulge yourself in a little luxury. Or place and ankle-deep wool rug at the center of your living room. You get the idea.

Happy re-decorating!
