Small living room: what are the essentials for properly arranging the room?
Furniture is of course the basis for designing your interior. In a small living room, we go to the essentials.
The sofa plays a vital role in the living room, whatever its dimensions. In a small space, we favor a compact, comfortable and functional model.
The 2-seater convertible sofa remains the safest choice for optimizing space. And what about looks? The trendy 2024 sofa is characterized by generous curves. In a small living room, it is wise to choose it in a light color. Team colorful sofa? Opt for a sofa with a refined design and legs that will give it more lightness.
The modular coffee table is the other essential piece of furniture for creating a small, pleasant living room. Built-in storage, swivel top, nesting tables: there are many options to meet all needs!
To enjoy a small, friendly living room, it is important to combine your small 2-seater sofa with complementary seats. The good idea is to opt for the pouf. The round pouf is the most compact: it is therefore particularly well suited to a very small living room. When space allows, we fall for the large square ottoman.
Impossible to do without storage in the living room, especially when space is at a premium! To visually enlarge a small living room, we preferably choose low furniture. To use the wall surface without visually weighing down the room, think about cubes: compact, they benefit from optimal storage capacity. Have fun creating a dynamic composition!
One of the main dilemmas of the small living room is choosing between open and closed storage. The solution ? Adopt storage boxes! It’s all the smarter as there is an impressive number of formats and designs: enough to organize your shelves while sprucing up the living room decor!
Small living room: the essentials for successful decor
The most common mistake when arranging a small apartment is to concentrate on the practical aspect, ignoring the decoration. However, it is important to create an interior that is harmonious to feel good at home.
The mission of the rug is of course to create a 100% cocooning space! This decorative accessory is a valuable ally in a small living room, where it can also help to enlarge the room. For this, we favor stripes and graphic patterns, which give depth.
Classic, but still effective for sprucing up the decor without taking up space, throws and cushions! We of course have fun with them in the small living room. When choosing them, remember to take curtains into account. If the latter are printed, it is better to choose relatively sober throws and cushions. Conversely, with discreet linen curtains, you can dare to use wild prints.
Lighting fixtures are both decorative and functional accessories. In a small living room, it is important to choose the right model. Pendant lighting is a common option because it provides good lighting without taking up floor space. When the ceiling is low, however, it risks creating an unpleasant feeling of being crushed. In this case, don’t hesitate to choose the floor lamp!
In a small space, we limit the furniture, but also the number of decorative accessories. However, this does not mean that they must be eliminated! Artisanal ceramics, beautiful decorative objects, travel souvenirs: choose pieces that are truly meaningful to you. The little extra to have is the candles. There are indeed very decorative models.
In addition, candles are effective allies for enjoying intimate and relaxing lighting, and they are much more compact than table lamps.
