The 4 best tips for decorating a small living room

The living room is often the place where you can relax. Furnishing this space is therefore extra important and often a fun job. Furnishing a small living room can feel like a huge challenge. Yet it is easier than you think. We give you various tips for furnishing a small but nice living room!

Decorate on a grand scale

Make your living room look bigger by using large furniture. Large furniture breaks up the space and makes the living room look bigger and calmer. By using large, sleek furniture, the living room immediately seems more spacious and this fits in neatly with your interior. Make sure that your room does not look cluttered, because this has a diminishing effect.

Go up in height

If you don't have much space in width and length, go for the height. Choose a large long cabinet or screw a few shelves to the wall. Do you have a beautiful dinner service? Show this by neatly placing it on the shelves. Or decorate your cabinet with beautiful accessories, such as vases and candlesticks.

Floating furniture, such as a hanging TV cabinet, creates a more spacious effect. Of course, this is not possible with all furniture, but a table or cabinet with narrow legs certainly contributes to a spacious feeling.

To all cabinets

Choose light colors

Paint the walls in light shades to make the room appear larger. Natural shades such as beige and grey work particularly well. A light colour palette makes the room appear larger and gives the room more atmosphere, without making it appear unnecessarily smaller.

Also make sure that you let in a lot of extra light in your living room. This will also make the room look more spacious. Window decorations and curtains are of course indispensable. Therefore, take a look at our latest acquisition, for all your jobs in the house & garden!

Make use of versatile items

Multifunctional is the key word for a small living room. Choose furniture that you can use in different ways. For example, a TV cabinet with extra storage space or small tables instead of one large coffee table. You can easily put these aside when visitors come by and they are also handy as a side table.
