Interior design ideas for small living rooms

Of course, you want to furnish a small living room as efficiently as possible. Making good use of every centimetre, using specific colours, multifunctional furniture: there are all kinds of ways to create a spatial effect and still be able to store all your things in a small living room.

Furniture with a dual function

Do you have a small living room? Slender, slim furniture is always a good idea. With coarse, robust furniture, the space quickly seems full. Also go for furniture with multiple functions. Think of a dining table bench with storage space under the seat flap, a coffee table with drawers or an open shelving unit: here you can not only store things, it is also a nice separation between, for example, your sitting and dining area.

Use of colour

It goes without saying: light, calm colours are a sensible choice for your small living room. It does not necessarily have to be white, if you are afraid of a too sterile appearance. Beige, taupe, light green or light grey also work well in a small space. Is your small living room very narrow? You can make your room appear wider with dark wall paint on a short wall, while keeping the long walls light.

Mirrors

You can create a spatial effect with mirrors or glass, for example. A mirror on the wall can make your small living room look bigger, but you can also opt for a cabinet with mirrored glass or doors with glass. Glass windows in a crockery or kitchen cabinet give a certain depth, which makes your living room look bigger. Make sure that you keep the contents of the cabinet neat and calm, so that there is no messy effect.
