DECORATING SMALL LIVING ROOM (Focus on Furniture) Decorating a small living room can be a challenge, considering the furniture arrangement in the room, but as shocking it seems, small Living rooms are often easier to decorate that large, especially on budget. Besides our bedrooms, we spend more time per day in our living rooms than any other, and we’re usually awake! The reality is that you can have a small living room that serves as well and looks as beautiful as a large one. The key is to take advantage of small space solutions and enhance them. However, the rules those apply while decorating a bigger space are the same rules that govern decorating a small space. This may include: 1)Choose the furniture that fits the space and don’t try to squeeze it •Armless sofas look sleek in small spaces, but they are not especially comfortable for lounging about. You may not have a tiny living room forever, and a sofa may last 10 years or more, so choose couch that is comfortable. Think of your couch as an investment and then purchase less expensive accent furnishings. • When purchasing accent chairs, think light. Anything with a heavy look or dark colors will feel huge in the room. Armless chairs can be a good choice. Avoid anything with a tall back rest. • In a small space, choose furniture with clean lines so the eye wont get stuck in one place, “keep it simple. Overstuffed chairs and shabby slipcovers may overpower a small living room • Choose your larger pieces, like your sofa, first. Stick to neutrals with your larger furnishings. Then add interest and texture by mixing in smaller pieces in different styles and colors. This will keep your space interesting so it wont have a generic, Decalogue-like feel. • In smaller spaces, color usually looks better in smaller amounts, like in throw pillows or accessories such as vases or lamps. • When decorating a small living room that doesn’t have a lot of natural light, choosing light shades of flooring, furnishings, walls and decor can do a lot to brighten your space. “Decorate your home. It gives the illusion that your life is more interesting than it really is.” Charles M. Schulz
