Five Smart Ways To Innovate With You Small Living Rooms

Designing a small living space for the very first time can be extremely challenging. The key is planning right space and adding stylish hidden storage and designing to give it a more natural and real-life look. Listed below are five design tips for creating a small, stylish living room.

A)  Vintage Dresser makes for a Perfect TV Stand

In small living rooms, space is often a problem.  Instead of using a television stand that isn’t very visually appealing, you can opt for a vintage dresser-turned-TV stand. It definitely brings in another layer of sophistication and gives you a complete luxury apartment touch. Also, the upper drawers of a dresser can be converted to hold TV components like storing DVDs in the drawers organized well.

B) Create a wall of Fame. 

Gallery walls look really incredible if done well and bring in so much color. The placement is the key to create a focal point for Gallery in the living room. When selecting artwork for a gallery wall, use a mixture of different frame sizes and frame styles to give an old-world luxury charm and adding a decorative mirror. In photo gallery walls, black and white photos will give a cohesive look. 

C) Create an Entryway Even When You Don’t Have One. 

You can easily create an entryway by your front door using a small console table as it adds a little drop zone entryway for your apartment by helping sneak in some storage space for you as well.

And if you haven’t got any space for a small console table? No problem! Instead, hang a small, narrow shelf to create a drop zone for your keys and mail; hang a mirror above the shelf to help make the room look bigger.

Pro Tip: Mirrors do an excellent job for small spaces! They help in making rooms appear larger and bounce light around.

D) Place an Area Rug. 

In a small living room, it is important and recommended for you to use a big area rug, and position it comfortably under the coffee table and a few inches past the front legs of a sofa to make your room look more luxurious and glamorous.

Pro Tip: Rugs over Carpet are a beautiful combination! (It's all about the rug style you choose).

E) Vertical Storage. 

Add more storage and make it look visually interesting in a smaller living room by bringing in bookcases. If your space has limited floor space, go vertical with shelves. Hanging a shelf above your sofa would help in to hold artwork and various objects. Also, place a group of shelves next to your sofa would help in holding artwork and objects and a beautiful task lamp.
