You love your new home, only the living room is too small?
No reason to despair! With a few tricks it will be the greatest for you.
The living room is the centerpiece of every home. Here we spend
a lot of time and make ourselves comfortable with family and friends. His
establishment deserves special attention. But what to do if the room is so
small that there is barely enough room to set up the couch, table and shelves?
Get the most out of your small living room with these 10 tips.
1. Bright colors
When designing rooms, the first question that arises is the
right color scheme. The living room actually lends itself to experiments with
rich, warm colors, but in small rooms, light and reserved tones should be
chosen in favor of a friendly and calm overall picture. The walls of this
Stockholm apartment are decorated in bright white. So it is not too dark
despite the sloping roof. A gray sofa and a carpet in the same color create a
soft contrast, without darkening the room. Which of course does not mean that
accents should not be set with deco in bold colors.
2. Furniture and decoration minimalism
In a living room belongs a lot: sofa, armchair , coffee
table, bookshelf, hi-fi cabinet, and, and, and. To put all this furniture in a
small space is a challenge. So that the living room is not delivered and the
way begins to resemble a course, the furnishings should be reduced to the
essentials. Sort out. A move is the ideal occasion to get rid of ballast. The
less space you can store, the fewer cabinets and shelves you will need.
Sparingly furnished, small rooms seem much more airy. Even with the home decor
you should hold back. Some selected and well-placed pieces are enough.
3. Sofa and armchair
Powerful furniture does not belong in small rooms. Instead
of a sweeping sofa landscape is a narrow, combined with armchairs couch much
better. Depending on your needs, (colorful) chairs or light armchairs can be
easily moved back and forth. If occasional overnight guests come, you should
also consider whether the purchase of a sofa bed is worthwhile.
4. Coffee table = stool
Two in one! The idea of a multifunctional device is as
simple as it is practical - and should be used throughout the living room. For
example, with a coffee table that can also be used as a stool. For the British,
the upholstered (and often tufted) foot stool or pouf is part of the fixed
living room inventory - as in this London townhouse, Glass plates or trays
protect the upholstery fabric from contamination.
5. Flexible table
A couch in the room does not only give depth to the living
room, but at the same time a console table can be placed on the back. As a
filing, writing or dining table, it fulfills several functions at the same
time. Under it, stools can be stowed to save space. And when you visit, you
just have to put the entire ensemble on the other side of the sofa to sit
comfortably together.
6. Built-in wardrobe and tall shelves
If the space is limited in width, you must move upwards. In
this example, a room-width built-in wardrobe was integrated into the living
room, which exploits every inch down to the ceiling. Open and closed
compartments alternate. Behind the cabinet fronts and in the drawers,
everything that is unrepresentative and unclear disappears. At the same time
the entire installation element visually fades into the background.
7. Plexiglass Furniture
Well, acrylic resin furniture may not be to everyone's
taste. But especially in small rooms they work wonders. Whether in the form of
a chair (for example: "Ghost Chair", Kartell) or as a coffee table -
the transparent and robust objects fit into any interior without dominating it.
The rule they leave to other furnishings, such as a beautiful couch or a fine
carpet.
8. Wall Hanger
Little makes rooms look as generous as a floor that is
visible right down to the corners. Therefore, furnishings should be
wall-mounted where appropriate. In a small living room, a voluminous hi-fi
cabinet becomes superfluous, if you mount the flat-screen TV to a wall mount.
If you need a shelf for additional accessories, you can also attach shelves
below the TV set.
9. Setting accents
In small living rooms, art does not have to be abandoned.
Paintings or prints that occupy most of a wall can make a room look even
bigger. High pictures and curtains visually stretch the room and make it less
squat.
10. Mirrors
Small rooms often have small windows, which is why they
often lack daylight. With a wall mirror you conjure up more brightness in small
living rooms. It is best to hang the mirror at right angles to the window or
window. He directs light into the entire room and visually enlarges it.
