How to make a small living room seems bigger?
1. Use customized and multi-functional furniture. For example, a customized sofa like our VESSEL collection of furniture with hidden storage can be most ideal. Instead of dining chairs, perhaps try a bench with hidden storage. Similarly, place a tray on top of a storage ottoman to serve as a multi-functional coffee table.
You can find all these examples in our VESSEL collection.
2. Get creative with your furniture layout and lighting. Try arranging furniture to create separation between functional zones. This helps define different uses within a single room. For example, place a desk behind a sofa to fashion a workspace and define the layout by placing a different overhead light fixture in each separate space.
3. Let the sun shine in. Emphasize your natural light sources to make your room brighter. A sunlit room feels more open and helps eliminate shadows that can make an enclosed area feel smaller. The simplest way to enhance natural light in a room is to place a mirror where it will reflect the light from a window.
4. Avoid oversized and heavy-feeling furniture. It will take over and make the room feel smaller. Instead, opt for low-profile, streamlined furniture, particularly sofas with hidden storage.
