arranging the furniture in such a way that it makes your living room seem bigger. You do not need to rip out a wall or take over the dining room to do this. Here are a few tips to making your living room look bigger without hiring a contractor or spending a lot of money.
Say good bye to the clutter.
There is nothing worse than having too much stuff in a small space. If you have collections of items you want to display, do it on shelving or behind glass doors of curio cabinets. Crafts and other items that you enjoy working on while sitting in the living room can be hidden beneath table skirts or even between the couch and the wall. By keeping the floor space clear and the tables free of clutter, you give your living room space a more airy feeling.
Keep areas that you walk in free of objects.
You are better off arranging your furniture along the walls than in spaces where people are going to walk through. Put larger pieces of furniture along the walls. Place taller pieces along the wall as well. Do you need that coffee table? If not, remove it from the room and you'll have more space to walk through. Leg and foot room are a must if you are to not feel crowded and cramped when sitting, entertaining or visiting in a small room.
Use light, soft colors to decorate with.
Paint the walls with a soft tone of blue or green in order to get the maximum effect and make the room seem larger. If you want, off-white, pale yellow, or even a shade of pink will also help make the room seem bigger. Additionally, a monochromatic color scheme with your furniture and curtains tends to give the impression of more room than there actually is.
Let the light into the room.
Eliminate heavy drapery curtains from your windows and use sheer curtains to let outside light into your living room। If your window is not very big, or is shaded add table lamps, track lighting, or recessed lighting to the room.
