Tips For Small Space Living


A living room is designed as a multipurpose room which is used for welcoming guest, relaxation and sharing views with family members. It’s the heart of the home.





A small living room may not create a problem as long as you can keep it warm and cozy. If you have a small living room, here are some tips and ideas to make it look interesting. 

  • Use furniture such as ottomans and wind wheel which can be used for multi-purposes.
  • Ottomans: It is very useful for small spaces as it can be easily moved around the room and is used as a table or as foot rest. 
  • Wind Wheel furniture: It is a good example for small space. It has four paddled stools. When not in use, these paddles are fitted under the table.

  • Use folding screen and Japanese style partition. This is a neat way to provide instant privacy in a room.
  • Pick out sliding doors that are wonderful in saving the space as they do not swing outwards when pulled to open.
  • Use mirror in room as it reflects more light and makes room look more spacious.
  • Use living room as dining area, study room and sitting room.
    Do not provide separate room for visitors as you cannot afford the accommodation.
