Making the most of a small space can be extra challenging when you’re trying to set up your living room. After all, besides your bedroom- which let’s face it, really only needs to accommodate one, or two, activities- your living room is the room you spend the most time in. It’s where you hang out, spend time with friends, maybe even work or eat, you know, it’s where you do stuff. So if you’re dealing with a limited amount of space, it’s all too easy to end up with an uncomfortably claustrophobic clutter, or a room in which your activities are limited in a direct ratio with the minimally functional decor. Neither option leaves you with a space you actually want to live in. Fortunately, there are experts with nothing better to do than play with decorating ideas, and to them, and small space isn’t just a challenge to decorate- it’s fun. Five Tried and True Small Living Room Solutions Paint by numbers. In a room with a small square-footage, paint the ceiling a lighter color than the walls.

Raise the roof. Low ceiling getting you down? Try discrete stripes on wall paper, curtains or sheers. Remember what your mom told you? Stripes make you look taller (and thinner). Go figure, it works on rooms too. They’ll pull your eyes up, making the ceiling look taller. Size does matter. Just because you can fit something through your door, doesn’t mean it fits the space in your living room. With all of the multi-use, multi-size furniture and storage options on the market today, you can find the right furniture to fit any taste or lifestyle need. Coffee tables and couches come with hidden storage areas or adjustable configurations. TV stands and media centers can be customized to your room size and storage needs, and even fit snugly into corners. Trompe l’oeil. It’s French for “fool the eye,” and decorators love to use this concept to make small space look more roomy and comfortable. You may remember from math class that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and in a small room, that’s exactly what straight lines do: they shorten the distance, making the room seem smaller. You can soften the space by adding some different angles. Potted planted and Corner TV stand are your allies here. Adding some rounded pillows or an oval rug will help too. Use the light. Use sheer curtains, light furniture finishes, and mirrors to reflect light and open up the space. Go for smaller, multiple light fixtures, such as accent lighting in your shelving or entertainment center, rather than large, space devouring lamps.
