How to Decorate Small Living Room

How to Decorate Compact Living Room

#1 Choose the appropriately sized furniture

Designing compact living room spaces allows you to be imaginative with space and illusion. Too-small or too-large furniture can turn decor into disaster. Hence, furniture should be carefully chosen in tune with the available space. When all features are of perfect size, everything added to the combination pulls up the space together.

#2 Decor elements

Compact living space decor doesn’t need to be minimalistic. Go for layering minimalist decor items to create dimensions. Nested coffee tables, rugs, and throw pillows are a few layer-friendly alternatives that do not create visual clutter.

#3 Using lighting fixtures as decor

Floor space is precious in compact living spaces. Do not clutter with lamps and fixtures. Instead, use pendant lights that don’t take up any floor space. Pick a design that is functional and can be used as a wall décor too when the lights go off.

#4 Knick-knacks

Create a personal touch with planters and wall paintings

Selecting unique décor items to add up to the style and define the charisma of the space. If you have a collection of knick-knacks, display the same on a rotational basis so as to get a fresh look every few days.

#5 Experiment with metallic finishes

A metal partition in the compact living space can add an ethnic look to the place. Try using metallic finishes for coffee table legs, or for other décor items in the rooms. Metal, being a good reflector of light bounces across the space making it look spacious and adding to the grandeur.

#6 Flooring for compact living spaces

Try keeping the floor bare. Cluttered flooring makes the space look heavy and confined. Choose furniture with lean legs and shapes. Try moving showpieces towards the wall to keep floors clutter-free. Always consult an interior designer for the interior of your house.
