It is necessary to make a small living room look bigger to make you more comfortable and relax. Many factors could become the reason why your room feels tiny, whether the space is limited, you have too much stuff and décor, or the lack of light could make your room feel compact. In this article, we will give you some ideas on how to make a living room appear larger, lighter, and brighter – and we don’t mean by going minimalist and painting everything white, though that does work.
HOW TO MAKE A SMALL LIVING ROOM LOOK BIGGER
1. CHOOSE A SIMPLE COLOR SCHEME
The most important thing to remember when designing a small room is to keep all tones on the same color palette. You could think of the space as one cohesive space and wisely choose the color scheme, thus instead of using different colors and patterns that will divide the room and make it feel smaller.
Furthermore, creating a bigger and brighter living room does not mean you cannot use anything other than a neutral color scheme. A dark color on your walls will create a compact effect on a room, but a light warming color, such as coral, will bring a cheerful vibe to the space.
The furniture color you add to the space is also playing an important role to make the space feel bigger. Instead of investing in dark wood furniture, go for painted pieces, and rustic wood, it will work well with this look.
2. DECORATE WITH MIRRORS
We completely believe in the power of mirrors in decorating because they can make a small living room look bigger – if placed correctly.
If you want to add texture to your room, you can add a mirror combined with natural material such as rayung, seagrass, rattan, or raffia.
3. LIGHTING IS THE KEY
Applying the right lighting in your living room can make your space feel bigger especially at night, even if the room already gets plenty of natural light during the day. Layering the heights of your lighting is essential, so make sure you have a pendant light overhead with a dimmable control, as well as plenty of lamp and wall lights. Wall lights that bring soft shades of light will also make the space feel taller.
4. GO FOR NEUTRAL FURNITURE
A sofa will be the largest piece of furniture in your living room, it is important to choose the right color and size. A neutral sofa can help to lighten the space, but it’s important to remember that neutral doesn’t always mean choosing a plain design. You can choose a sofa with beautiful details such as curves, buttons, or fluting to add character to a small space without overpowering your scheme. In addition, cushions and throws in bolder colors and patterns can keep the look from feeling too minimalist. An accent chair, on the other hand, is a great way to add a pop of color and will effortlessly lift a darker space.
5. INVEST IN GOOD STORAGE
Investing in living room storage is essential for making a small living space feel bigger. Taking advantage of vertical space is an important way to maximize storage capacity while maintaining the smallest possible footprint.
