Many people actually wish if their homes were bigger. But if you are one of them, then needn't worry. Small homes don't mean it needs to feel crowded or cramped. There are various ideas using which you can make your living room, and other rooms, look bigger.
Armless Modern Furniture
Modern sofa-sectionals particularly those with arms are too heavy and bulky and can take a lot of room. You should always use them only if your living room has enough space. In smaller living rooms, couches and sofas that are sleek should be used. You can choose the slipper styled sofa and armless chairs and save several inches on both sides. But just in case, you are someone who likes to lean your head and arms on the sofa arms, then slipper style is not for you.
Straight Lines
Furniture that looks fanciful and is curvy can make your small living room look even smaller. To ensure that your room looks bigger, use streamlined furniture with simple and sleek silhouettes. Just in case you are struggling for more place in the living room, square and rectangular furniture look the best. That doesn’t mean that you need to give up on the curves completely. Make use of accent pieces with curves for a decorative touch and to create focal points as well. For instance, decorative mirrors with curves can be used with streamlined furniture for an ornate touch.
Right Rug Size
It is imperative to select the right rug size to decide how the room looks. A small rug can make the space look disjointed. In any room, be it a small one also, ensure that you use a big area rug. A rug should be big enough that all the furniture pieces along with the legs are on the rug with some inches extra on each side. If your room in any case is larger than an average, two similar area rugs can be used.
Hidden Storage
A small room with too much furniture can look cluttered. The more you stuff in, the smaller will it look. To prevent this from happening, the best idea is to make use of storage furniture. Furniture pieces with hidden storage like tables with shelves and drawers, storage ottomans, boxed sofa-sectionals can be great to save space.
