Decorating a Small Living Room with Wow Factor

There are many ways to decorate a small living room so if you need some ideas we have some below. You might not want to spend time in your room if it is too cluttered with items. Adding too little decor may cause the room to seem dull and drab.

The best approach is to try to find a middle ground between the two extremes. With clever design ideas, you can make the space appear bigger than it actually is by tricking the eye.

We put together a few ideas for making your small space seem larger and add a little “wow” factor.

 

Small Living Room Ideas to Elevate Your Decor

Take Advantage Of The Natural Light You Have.

In the living room, many people place thick, dark curtains to block out all the light. When you are decorating a small living room, this is a mistake. Natural light creates an open, airy feeling in a room. Sheer Shades are a great option for window coverings because they let in natural light and still provide privacy.

So if your living room has access to enough natural light, don’t block it out. Even if your home doesn’t have large windows, use lighter shades on the walls, furniture, and decor to take advantage of the light you have.

Make It Cozy and Inviting

Why not cozy up your living room a bit and take advantage of this limited space? Choose soft, plush or textured rugs and cushions and keep seating close to each other. Choose natural elements such as wood and wicker for your decor. Add a few throw pillows in bright colors and natural fibers to add a little flair.  You should pick seating that complements this theme as well. If you have enough space, you can use two or three nesting coffee tables.

It is the ideal theme for a family room that you want to spend time in, as it will help you make it both functional and inviting.

Choose a Color Palette and Stick to it

Color doesn’t have to be boring just because you have a small space. You can choose anything from pastels to vibrant colors. Adding too many colors, however, will make the room look cramped and disorganized.

Stick to a limited color scheme for your living room and follow through. Additionally, you can use patterns in combination with these colors to make your living room look more inviting.

Keep all fixed items, such as walls and furniture, in light neutral colors, and add accents of color. Using just one or two accent colors will make them stand out. Multiple colors reduce their visibility and effectiveness.

Add Geometric Patterns for a Dynamic Effect

Geometric patterns can give your living room a wow factor. You can trick your eyes a little by using patterns to add beautiful texture to your room, add depth, and make it look bigger. You can get creative with your walls, pillows, area rugs, curtains, and more by combining patterns with accents. Use patterns in moderation for maximum effect. Just as with colors, if you use too many, it can lok chaotic.
