What are the 5 most common mistakes when decorating a small living room: the opinion of designers

Any designer knows that it is extremely difficult to design a small living room effectively, stylishly and functionally.

There is a high risk of “overloading” the space with details or depriving it of ergonomics.

Therefore, it is worth remembering the most common shortcomings, says designer Yulia Tychino, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti.

What do they consist of?

Huge sofa

Of course, you shouldn't buy miniature furniture either, but a huge sofa won't be a solution either. Try to choose medium-sized furniture so that it doesn't take up all the free space.

Trinkets

It is believed that small souvenirs and decorative elements are an indicator of bad taste. In a small living room, this drawback is very noticeable. Therefore, it is worth getting rid of them.

Lack of air

Sometimes we are so busy trying to provide comfort, coziness and storage space that we forget about the need for free space.

If you "crowd" the living room with furniture, flower pots and other elements, you will have a feeling of lack of air.

Unkempt carpet

If you decide to buy a carpet to create comfortable conditions in the living room, then keep it clean. Otherwise, a huge amount of dust will appear, which you will breathe.

Bright or dark shades

It is not worth choosing such bold color solutions for a small living room. It is much more reasonable to focus on pleasant neutral tones.

They will not exert psychological pressure and will help to visually expand the existing area.
