We work with what we have! Or how to effectively and practically equip a small living room

Decorating and furnishing a bedroom or kitchen is actually not that difficult. What can not be said about the living room! After all, this is a room in which all household members spend their free time, which means that it must correspond to the individual preferences and wishes of each family member. In this case, the situation becomes even more complicated if the living room is small!

Good afternoon dear friends!

Of course, to increase the space, you could demolish the wall (not load-bearing) or take all the furniture out of the room. Or even move to a bigger apartment / house! Indisputably. Ideas are effective, but, unfortunately, not always realistic. That is why we "work" with what we have. We "turn on" imagination and use all our creativity to equip a small living room in the best possible way. And in order to It was easier for you to "move in the right direction", and I prepared 5 practical tips.

So what can you do ?!

1.Functional angle. If earlier you covered the corner of the room with a curtain on a long cornice or hung an old "trinket" that you were sorry to throw away, then the concept of atmospheric savings is not inherent in you! Because there is much more potential in an ordinary junction of walls than it might seem at first glance! Therefore, try hanging corner shelves. Lightweight and unobtrusive, so as not to visually clutter up the already meager space.

All that remains is to place on them the favorite books of family members, houseplants, children's sports awards or family photographs that previously did not find a place in your interior.

2.Compact sofa. Smartly reducing the size of basic pieces of furniture is one of the most effective ways to save space! Therefore, try to exclude a sofa with a massive back and wide armrests from the living room interior. There is more pathos than good from such models.

Use an elegant low-rise sofa with deep seated legs when furnishing. This will help you to keep the living room functional and not to overload the atmosphere in it.

3.Sliding door. Space saving, invisibility and aesthetics - this is what makes a sliding door an almost irreplaceable element of the interior! Maybe you should also pay attention to such doors, after all, the savings on the floor are almost 1m in comparison with an ordinary swing door?

And thanks to the development of the "building materials market" (hypermarkets, shops, salons, etc.) to pick up the door, that would be in perfect harmony with the interior style of your living room, now it will not be much labor. Here, as they say: taste, color and wallet!

4.TV set. An essential gadget for any living room! Even more, TV is a "point" of attraction for all family members. Which previously occupied a lot of space in the living room (on the floor), as it was "based" on a curbstone. Now, thanks to the evolution of technologies in production (the dimensions of the TV have been changed, the brackets have been invented), it can, and even should, hang on the wall.

The only thing is that the "smart" gadget is not just a dark spot in your living room, take care of its background (the wall behind it)! And then it will 100% become an effective and even stylish touch in the interior of your small room.

5.Hanging lamps and luminaires. Fashionable, high-quality lighting is a must-have for a compact space. And a small living room is no exception! First, determine the best "deployment" for the pendant lamp in the room (not far from the sofa), and then hang it from the ceiling so as not to take up floor space.

This will help you not only bring an original touch to the living room interior, but also free up space for other pieces of furniture: a coffee table, an armchair, an ottoman, etc.
