If you are struggling to decorate your small living room so that it looks more spacious than it actually is, you are not alone. Many people wonder how to furnish a tiny living space. Here are a couple of helpful suggestions to help orient you in the right direction:
- Paint lightly: While darker tones provide a valuable richness to a room, they also make a small room appear cramped or smaller than it actually is because they absorb light, according to The Everygirl. Loud, vibrant colors also tend to make a room feel too overwhelming. Paint your walls in lighter, calming hues to make your room feel more open. However, if you still want to paint with a deep color, focus on painting one accent wall, to give you the color you desire without sacrificing the serenity and illusion of your room being larger than it actually is.
- Buy versatile pieces: In order to utilize your space best, buy coffee and end tables with functional storage spaces and a small entertainment center with plenty of drawers and places to keep necessary items or smaller decorative bookcases to utilize more vertical space. Nothing makes a small living room look more cluttered and tiny than one that does not have enough storage space. You should also remember that less is more in terms of furniture and accessories, if you buy just a few multifunctional statement pieces and larger accent pieces, your room won't feel as crowded.
