1. before starting: the basis
- First of all, measure the room. Where are the doors, windows, and electrical outlets? A clear knowledge of your surroundings is the golden rule for any successful design.
- A cluttered room looks smaller and more oppressive than it actually is. So go for minimalism and create a spacious living room.
- A well-organized environment feels and looks good!
2. color palette: play with light and shadow
The right color palette can change your entire perception of a room. Bright colors reflect light and make your home shine. You can create a bright ambiance by using predominantly neutral shades like beige and ecru. You don't have to limit yourself to white and its shades! The lightest shades of different colors also create a radiant effect.
How about placing an accent chair in a bright color amidst your neutral hues? An eye-catching color in your room will draw eyes and distract attention from the size of the room. By adding colorful punch pillows and decorations, you can add depth to your space while boosting your energy level.
Tip. If you are looking for a sofa that matches the color of your walls, you can get from us a free fabric sample from us. So you can see the textures and colors of the fabrics in detail in the light of your own home!
3. modular seating: more than just a sofa
When the words "small spaces" and "efficiency" collide, we cannot ignore modularity!
Modular sofas are created by assembling various parts of different sizes, which we call modules. By combining appropriate modules, you can create a design that uses space in the most efficient way.
Corner sofas and sofas with couch are ideal for creating maximum seating area in small rooms. With a modular corner sofa or sofa with lounger you can use areas for sitting that you could not use with classic sofas. You can change the parts as you like and transform your sofa into a completely new design by adding additional modules.
This way, you get a design that you can change and evolve as you see fit, without being locked into a single arrangement in your small space. In the future, when you move to a larger living situation, you can adapt your sofa to your new home. And the only thing you have to do is enjoy it!
Notice. By choosing narrow armrests on your modular sofa, you can create more space for sitting.
You can put together small modules or even combine two individual sofas to create a 2-seater sofa. When it comes to modularity, there is virtually no limit to what you can do!
Tip. If you don't have enough space for a sofa with couch, a Ottoman could be the solution! You can create a mobile sofa with chaise by placing the Ottoman in front of your sofa and use it as a coffee table at the same time.
4. vertical and horizontal lines: The space in space
To make your room look bigger than it is, you should play with lines.
- Windows that cover an entire wall will make your room seem larger and brighter than it actually is. Moreover, you can choose curtains in light tones to let the sunlight into the room easily.
- By choosing narrow bookshelves or large television furniture that reaches the ceiling, you can give the impression that the room is larger than it appears.
- You could also place slender, tall plants on the floor and have plant pots hanging from the ceiling. Vertical lines will make your room look bigger.
-
Mirrors add new angles and depth to your space through their reflective property.
5. complementary decorations
Now it's time for the indispensable decorations that will complete the style of any room. They are not only beautiful to look at, but also functional.
Carpets:
When choosing your rugs, you should pay attention to the right size of the rug. You should take into account the size of the room and the position of the other furniture that you use.
Coffee tables:
If you do not have a large space for a coffee table, you can use a small side table. For example, with a small side table between two sofas, you can efficiently use an unused space. And you haven't forgotten our suggestion regarding Ottoman , have you?
We want you to feel comfortable every time you enter your living room! Besides our proposals, the most important thing is to have a room that reflects you and where you love to spend time!
