But the wise placement of glass and mirrors in any room will give your claustrophobic thinking a relief. If you\u2019re not into putting adding windows, or perhaps it\u2019s quite impractical or impossible, adding a full-length mirror will surely give you better perception about your living room\u2019s available space. And it won\u2019t just be for decorative purposes but for added functionality as well.<\/p>\n

Bigger rugs or carpets<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Have you been to room with ceramic tiles? Have thought how big is the room or building by counting the tiles? Yes, that\u2019s exactly what you should be trying to avoid. Breaks in the flooring will roughly give you the idea how big a room is. Using bigger pieces on the floor will minimize breaks in your perception of space. This will result in your perception of a bigger area while not doing much about it. Bigger rugs or carpets will easily cover those space breakers on the floor.<\/p>\n

Higher, longer curtains<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Curtains may not be a centerpiece of your room but it will have an effect on how you perceive space. Using longer curtain will require you hang them higher. This will surely affect how you think about space. Longer curtains will make your room more airy to look at and will surely make it look more vibrant in return.<\/p>\n

Lighting<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It may simple as it sounds but the light really has a lot to say when it comes to your perceived space. Remember the light colors mentioned above. Lighter colors help in giving more airiness in your room, so does lighting. Proper placement of lights<\/a> will give you a better view of the available space. This, in turn, will enhance your perceived space. Placing a light in corners do work their magic. Also, you can free up some space when you use swinging arm lamps. This smart lighting is not just versatile but will also free up some space when you need to.<\/p>\n

Keep your artwork in check<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The key here is to put these pieces in strategic places. These key places could either make or break your space saving ideas. The idea is to place these or stacked higher. Vertical stacking of art pieces on your wall will point your eyes upwards. This will give you the idea of higher ceiling thus bringing more airiness for your room.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, when you are considering designing your small living room, never stay in one idea. There are other ideas out there that work wonderfully with small spaces<\/a>. Like when you have you a small space where you cannot fit any furniture. Think about having a narrow, custom cabinet. It may be much but it will serve a lot for your storage needs. Also, contrasting colors will work if you dealt with it properly. Yes, light color-palette helps a lot but it doesn\u2019t mean dark, vibrant colors won\u2019t help. Adding some along the side will also enhance your visual perception of space.  Also, be mindful of your layout. The key is proper placement. Before you think about adding furniture in your living, think about the available space. It\u2019s given that you cannot afford bulky pieces. And see to it that the overall design of the furniture<\/a> will fit the area, not just physically, but also visually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
