A small living room can look visually larger with the right approach, so you need to learn how to work with space correctly.
Some traditional design methods are not suitable for small spaces, which is extremely important to consider.
What tricks will help a small living room look good
Refusal of cabinet furniture
Many people try to buy special sets of cabinet furniture for the living room so that the room looks organized and stylish.
However, with this approach, you can forget about the availability of free space, says designer Yulia Tychino , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
It makes more sense to hang a few open shelves for beautiful decor and leave only a couple of cabinets or a chest of drawers.
Avoid wallpaper prints
Drawings on finishing materials make the room more attractive, but visually reduce it. Therefore, it is better to choose plain wallpaper or use paint.
Huge chandelier
In a small room, a "royal" chandelier will look funny, since the lack of free space will become obvious. It is better to choose compact spotlights, and "introduce" additional lighting with the help of wall lamps and floor lamps.
Heavy textures
Many people want to use stucco, velvet, leather and other elements of luxury and status in the interior. However, such ideas are best implemented in spacious houses.
If you decorate a small living room in a "royal" manner, it will not look the best.
Pictures and photos
Many people like it when they see a lot of decorations on the walls - posters, wall decor, paintings, framed photographs.
But due to the excess of "beauty" in a limited space, there will not be enough free space visually. Therefore, it is worth limiting yourself to 2-3 decorative elements that will simply complement the decor.
