In the case when your small-sized apartment does not allow you to allocate a lot of space for the living room, you must not aggravate the situation by buying bulky furniture of inconvenient dimensions, but, on the contrary, use the living room space to the maximum.
Interior design – arrangement priorities
Since there is little space in the living room, it is impossible to fit everything you want there. Prioritize and equip your living room based on what you will be doing in that room. For example, if you are going, first of all, to store a library and other things here, then comfortable walls for the living room will suit you. If you need a living room to gather in a close circle of friends for a light cocktail, feel free to place the most comfortable sofa and a small serving table in the middle of the room. If you plan to often hold family dinners and celebrations, then a dining table with chairs is more suitable for you..
Choose compact furniture
By putting space saving at the forefront, you thereby free up space for yourself to live. Moreover, it is not only the size of the furniture that matters, but also its shape. Do not buy a round table in a small living room – it is not practical and takes up a lot of space, no matter how you like it. Instead, it is better to put a small rectangular coffee table. The sofa that you put in the living room can be fold-out – so you get more seating when you receive guests.
Ideally, the furniture should be mobile, that is, it can be moved without problems if necessary. So the coffee table becomes a serving table, moving closer to the sofa if guests come, and the chairs near the TV complement this close circle..
Living room decor details
Try not to overload the interior with unnecessary details: a small room, crammed with decorative trifles, looks cluttered. Use storage systems, if possible, remove all unnecessary from the surface in boxes and boxes – you’ll see how much more spacious the room will seem.
However, without decor, the living room will look uninhabited. A composition of candles, a soft blanket on the sofa, glasses ready for the arrival of guests – all this adds life to the interior. You will see that a cramped living room is far from being a sentence, but, on the contrary, interesting possibilities of the ergonomic design of a small apartment. And the interior, created with love and inspiration, always pleases both the owners and guests.
