A small, tiny living room is always limited by its dimensions, but with a carefully planned design and few clever ideas and tricks, you can turn this space into a oasis. Your living room will look larger and more inviting.
A Bright Living Room
Lighting is extremely important. Both artificial and natural lighting can be used to change the look of your living room. Don’t keep the room windows covered. Allow plenty of natural light to come through them. Replace your thick drapes or blinds with transparent drapes like sheer drapery that allow natural light to penetrate inside. Artificial light is also important. Recessed lights are a smart solution. They can increase the brightness without cluttering the room ceiling.
Use the Vertical Space
Use the vertical space of the wall wherever is possible. Floor to ceiling bookshelves can be the right choice. However you need to take in consideration small details like color, dimensions, wood grains, the distance between shelves, molding, etc.

You can add several pieces of artwork with sentimental value on the walls, but incorporated sparingly. Your room should look cohesive, intimate, inviting and clutter free.
