Not a living room, but some kind of "corridor"! 6 techniques for arranging a narrow long living room

Unfortunately, when buying an apartment, it is far from always possible to get exactly the housing that would meet all our desires and needs. Either there is practically no hallway, now the kitchen is tiny, now the living room is cramped like a "pencil case", etc. And when it's time to settle down long-awaited square meters, many simply shrug their shoulders, not knowing what can be done with such a space irregular shape. In our case - with narrow long living room!

Good afternoon dear friends!

The design and decor of a disproportionate room, and even more so a living room, is not an easy task! Since the rules that are often used in a square room will simply not work here. But do not rush to give up! Because, knowing some secrets and design techniques, you can transform the "unsuccessful shape" room into a stylish, cozy and spacious space.

And in order for you to achieve success in your difficult business and be able to neutralize the design flaws of a cramped long living room, I also prepared this material.

1.Living room furniture. I will say right away: you have to forget about the wide bulky furniture. It takes up too much floor space and does not leave free space in a narrow room. With her, the living room of the "unsuccessful shape" instantly becomes even tighter and more compressed.

Therefore, it is more correct to make a choice in favor of furniture of a light airy design, which has thin inconspicuous legs, an elegant back or armrests. Such furniture literally hovers above the floor without cluttering up the space. As a result, the room looks larger and more spacious.

2.Non-standard furnishings. You should not be afraid of the unusual arrangement of furniture! And in a narrow long room so even more so! Since unusual furniture can be much more convenient and practical than standard furniture. Therefore, try to abandon the longitudinal placement of furniture along the wall, and place it, for example, across.

So you can furnish the room and divide it competently into different functional zones: a mini-dining room and a place for watching TV, a recreation area and home office, etc. The main thing with such an arrangement is to leave free space on both sides of the furniture for free movement in the living room!

3.Laying the floor covering. Oddly enough, but the "pattern" on the floor affects the perception of the size of the room. Therefore, if in your living room the window is located on a narrow wall, then lay the laminate or parquet in the direction of the light. Otherwise, the opposite is true.

Thus, you will make the room visually larger and more spacious. This will be especially noticeable in a living room with a low ceiling.

4.White as the main color. In the case of a cramped and long living room, there are also advantages! And one of them is color! Since you do not have to rack your brains and painfully long to select a color palette, because the best solution for walls, floors and ceilings is to decorate the surface in white.

With this monochrome white finish, you erase all visual boundaries, making your living room larger and more spacious.

5.Rectangular living room rug. I would like to remind you! That the center of the narrow length of the room should not remain empty. If so, the simplest solution to fill it is to lay a rug. But not square from wall to wall, but rectangular, which would be in 100% harmony with the "unfortunate shape" of the living room.

This technique will help you not only decorate the living room space, making it visually interesting, but also subtly, unobtrusively zone it.

6.Depth mirror. Want to visually push the boundaries of a cramped living room? No problem! Hang a mirror in front of the window. Thanks to this arrangement, it will slightly correct the shape of the room and give it a little more volume and depth.

But keep in mind that this method will only work if the living room windows are on a long wall. Otherwise - alas and ah!
