Small Living Room Ideas: 3 Easy Design Strategies
1. Stretch with Stripes
Stripes aren’t just a classic pattern that goes with everything – they can also elongate and expand. A narrow living room may be short on horizontal space, but there’s a quick and easy fix to make it seem bigger, more open: a striped area rug. The longer the area rug and the bolder the stripes, the more spacious your living room will feel.![small living room tips](/globalassets/images/blog/2019/01/0116_small_living_room_tips.jpg)
2. Go Convertible
3. Master Monochromes
A tried and true decorating strategy, a monochrome palette can work wonders for small spaces; choose one main color to define a small living room (go neutral for a clean look), and one or two accents to make it pop. If you're dealing with seating, consider these 2-piece living room sets, which come pre-matched, so you don't have to worry about clashing.![small living room decorating](/globalassets/images/blog/2019/01/0116_small_living_room_decorating.jpg)
