Making the most of every inch of space in your living room is essential for a comfortable at-home lifestyle. And, having a small living room doesn't mean you have to compromise on aesthetics. With the right furniture choices, you can create an inviting and practical space that feels much larger than it is.
In this blog, we'll be exploring innovative space-saving furniture solutions and small living room decorating ideas. From multi-functional pieces to clever storage ideas, we'll guide you through the best options to maximise your space without sacrificing your interior's style.
When deciding on your small living room furniture, every piece must earn its place by offering more than just its primary function. Enter transforming furniture.
This type of furniture is designed to adapt and change, providing multiple uses within one single item. We've listed our favourite options that can help revolutionise your small living space:
When trying to make the best use of awkward spaces, fitted furniture can be a game-changer. Bespoke to fit the dimensions and layout of your living room, custom-made furniture ensures no inch goes to waste.
By seamlessly integrating storage and functionality into your interior design, fitted living room furniture from Hammonds can offer luxurious appeal and practical benefits.
Built-in shelving and cabinets are excellent for creating additional storage without dominating valuable floor space. These can be designed to fit around your windows and doorways, providing a cohesive look that blends with your existing design.
Similarly, a window seat with built-in storage can act as a charming and functional element in your small living area. Combining seating and storage in one, a custom-made window seat offers a cosy nook to relax while keeping clutter out of sight and mind.
The furniture you choose can make a huge difference in how spacious and open your small living room appears. Opting for sleek and slimline furniture can help maintain an orderly appearance, enhancing functionality and encouraging a clutter-free environment.
Such minimalist pieces prioritise clean lines and smart design, ensuring your living room remains airy and comfortable. A streamlined coffee table can anchor your living room without overwhelming the space. Consider designs with glass tops and thin wooden legs to create a light and open look. Glass surfaces can help bounce light around the room and give the illusion of more space.
When it comes to storage, opt for tall, narrow units rather than wide, bulky options. Vertical bookcases or ladder-style shelves can make use of wall space without using up the floor. These pieces offer ample storage opportunities while keeping a sleek and sophisticated profile.
Utilising furniture with curved edges is a superb strategy to enhance small living rooms. Curved furniture adds a touch of elegance to the space while creating a harmonious flow.
You can slowly introduce curved furniture into your living room by replacing your standard rectangular coffee table with an oval or round piece.
Sofas and chairs with rounded edges offer an inviting and comfortable look, compared to their sharp, angular counterparts. Curved-back sofas and tub chairs in particular can create a cosy seating area that helps to soften the aesthetic of the room.
Dual-purpose furniture provides the versatility you need to make the most of your small living room.
A sofa bed is a must-have for anyone short of space, especially if you regularly have guests that stay overnight.
A fitted media unit can house your TV, audio equipment and media collections while providing storage for other items. It can also be used as a functional coffee table with adjustable shelves and hidden compartments for organisation.
