Inspirational Design Ideas for Small Living Rooms

You don’t need to limit your style in a small living room. There are many smart and affordable ways to create a beautiful and comfortable space. Get inspirational design ideas for small living rooms in this video by Grig Stamate:

Start by choosing the right color for the walls. Remember that dark colors and hues make the decor seem smaller, while light colors and nuances make any room seem larger. Don’t be afraid to use gloss or semi-gloss paint. The light will be reflected in the color, making your small living room feel larger.

Next, make the most of your living space, taking advantage of every opportunity to free up floor space as much as possible and create and increase storage space. A smart idea is using baskets for storage. Large baskets are a great solution for storing small stuff such as books, magazines and clothes. Keeping the space organized and avoiding clutter will give the sensation of a larger living room. Other smart ideas are the use of hanging storage and wall-mounted shelves, but keep in mind that objects should be easy for you to reach when you need them. A step mini-ladder can be useful.

Do not use too many heavyweight furniture pieces. It is better to choose slim, lightweight and (if possible) multi-functional furniture as a coffee table with storage or a beautiful ottoman that doubles as a coffee table. Create an eye-catcher in the decor, using a piece of furniture as a focal point, such as a beautiful coffee table with a unique look or a large floor standing mirror that reflects the space, making the room feel larger than it really is.
