How To Decorate A Tiny Living Room Space

Do you have a small living room and are not quite sure how to arrange the furniture? The living room is the place for family and friends to sit and visit, so a very special effort should be made to create a comfortable space.

1) Place of your living room furniture should center around a focal point which may be an entertainment center, bookcase or a very large window.

2) Think about your guests when you arrange the room. The living room should promote conversation. Set up cozy areas with a couple of chairs or a loveseat. Ideally, there should be between 4-10 feet between your sofa or loveseat and chairs so that the space does not seem cramped. If you move the pieces of furniture too far apart, conversation would be difficult.

3) Don't block your windows. Small living rooms need natural light if it is available to help create the appearance of a larger room.

4) Side tables should be at least as tall as the arm of the chairs and sofa. This will ensure that serving is easy.
