2. In this living room, all the furniture pieces stand against the wall, freeing up more walking area in the middle of the room. The ample clear floor creates an illusion of more space.
Tip: Consider installing a wall-to-wall mirror in a small living room to create the illusion of extended space.

3. This tiny living room is connected to an open-plan kitchen, where the overall palette is kept neutral to make the space look large and roomy. While the large sofa placed against the wall and the single sofa chair provide enough seating, the breakfast-counter stools double as flexible pieces that can be used anywhere around the home. The big ottoman in the centre works as a coffee table, a footstool and also extra seating when guests are aplenty.
Tip: If you have a two-rooms-in-one space, make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. The more seamless a space is, the bigger it looks.

4. In a small L-shaped living room like this, a sectional is very useful, as it runs along two walls, offers enough seating for multiple people and the L-shape ensures that people can sit adjacent to each other, rather than side-by-side, facilitating comfortable conversations. Plus, since it’s a relatively low seating, it makes the room seem taller and more voluminous. Any other seating (say the chair or stools) can be carried in or out of the room, as per need.
Tip: In a small living room, a built-in sofa can be a major space-saver.

5. A bay window offers variety in seating without having to add more furniture. Plus, when a slender sofa without a boxy base is added to a tiny living room, it fools the eyes into thinking the space is larger because you can see under the piece. This living room, although with a tiny square footage, still looks open and airy due to the light furniture pieces and the views of the outdoors.
Tip: To banish clutter and to increase storage, consider having a window seat with a cavity inside to store cushions, books, and other miscellaneous items.
