A small living room can also be elegant and cozy. The main thing here is to resist the habit of filling all the free space.
A few simple techniques will help solve this problem without renovation or remodeling.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told us what the furnishings in a small living room should be like.
Furniture
Avoid buying a large sofa and large armchairs. They clutter up the space.
Choose upholstered furniture with thin and elegant armrests, shelves, small tables. Instead of a sofa, you can buy a couch.
Light
Making a cramped living room as bright as possible is your task. The more light, the more air and space in the room.
If there is a need to install a cabinet or wall, then put them in blind corners. Windows should also be left open - without thick curtains, but with light curtains.
Windowsill
It can be turned into a workspace or a relaxation area can be created by the window.
A storage space can be set up under the wide window sill.
Angles
When planning your furniture, fill the corners as much as possible. The best options for such cases are shelves, tables or lighting fixtures.
Walls
The vertical surface in tight spaces should be loaded more than the horizontal one, that is, to the full height.
And if all these tips did not help solve the problem, then there is no other option but to combine the living room with the kitchen.
