Make your furniture work for you and pick out double duty furniture!
Using furniture with built-in storage, Tv stands, shelves, coffee tables and sideboards like the one shown below create spaces for the clutter to go. To make the living room feel more warm and inviting use some cute vases, plants, with light colors on top of a cute sideboard.
Pick colors you love
By using soft, pastel shades here and there will make the room feel larger than it is. A great way to do this is painting one wall a deeper tone than the rest of the walls. For instance, if you pick a rich warm color like a plum shade, or a deep blue grey as an accent wall behind a sofa. It would create a vibe that is very relaxing. I think sometimes we shy away from darker tones, when we think about a smaller room. However, if you embrace them it actually draws you in without making the space feel smaller. Another tip is if you paint your baseboards the same color as the wall. The trick is that it will make the room feel larger than it is, because your eye isn’t distracted as much. Choosing a darker colored sofa as an accent to the rich warm wall shade, also helps to make your space more inviting.
Best small living room decorating ideas “mirrors”
You can instantly create an illusion of having more space by introducing mirrors to the space. The effect works with a bunch of small mirrors. For even better if you can find an oversized mirror to fill a large wall space.
The use of mirrors in a space helps to brighten a room! If you place the mirror opposite to a window or next to a window, it will reflect the natural light! This effect helps to create the illusion of a much larger space. The room will feel less drab because the amount of the increased natural lighting. In awkward small spaces, for instance a room with a sloping ceiling or is somehow awkward in another way. A mirror will help to create the illusion that the space is less awkward.
