When fitting out a small living room, the first point of attention is obviously the choice of your furniture . Not too bulky, but enough to be functional… Practical, but also aesthetic… A real balancing act!
Versatile furniture
If possible, choose furniture that offers several functions , including a space to store your belongings in your living room. For example, choose a sofa with built-in storage under the seat, a bench with pedestals, a coffee table with drawers, a TV cabinet with lots of shelves, etc. In short, combine solutions in order to have furniture that fulfills its primary function and also offers additional storage .
Closed storage spaces
Look for furniture that offers closed storage spaces , such as drawers or cupboards with doors . These solutions will allow you to hide your belongings in order to keep a well-organized living-dining room. Better yet, choose sliding doors if possible . These take up less space when opened, which will allow you to further optimize the space in your living room.
Furniture to separate spaces
A living room is often synonymous with different areas in a single space: dining room , living room and sometimes even open kitchen , office or bedroom in a studio. To define and arrange these different areas while keeping an airy living room, you can create visual separations using furniture. Thus, a piece of furniture such as a sofa, a console or a sideboard can serve as a separator if it is strategically positioned in your room.
Furniture, but not too much!
Furniture is certainly very practical, but it can also become your worst enemy if you overuse it! Because yes, there is nothing worse than a space cluttered with furniture when you have a small room! You must still have space to move around without constraint. So, only choose a piece of furniture if it is really useful to you .
Also avoid bulky furniture , such as an XXL sideboard or a massive table. While they look particularly stylish in a large home, they are far too imposing for a small interior.
Use ceiling height strategically
Little floor space? Get some height ! Intelligent use of the walls in your living room-dining room will allow you to use all the available space in your living room in a clever way.
High storage solutions
Vertical storage solutions are perfect for optimizing small spaces. Think tall shelves on the wall, a bookcase , a bookcase TV stand or a storage unit that extends from floor to ceiling. These options allow you to store a multitude of objects without encroaching on the floor space. Floating shelves , discreet and elegant, also allow you to display your decorations or keep your everyday items within reach
Adjustable height storage
Modular shelves and cabinets allow you to adjust the height of the compartments . By choosing this option, you will be able to store objects of different sizes in your living room or dining room and reorganize the space to measure according to the evolution of your needs.
