Not
every home is perfect. Sometimes you may end up purchasing a home you love that
unfortunately has an uncommonly shaped living room. If the shape or layout of
your living room is less than ideal, there’s no need to panic, because we’re
here to help. We have highlighted three common living room design challenges,
including simple tips to help you make the most of your space.
Furnishing a Small Living Room
Since
most people picture their living room as a place where all their friends and
family can gather, it can be a bit frustrating if your living room has rather
cramped quarters. With the right furniture selections; however, you can still
create an atmosphere that is cozy and inviting. The key thing to remember when
furnishing a small living room is to choose furniture that is the right scale.
Large sectional sofas and oversized armchairs will make a smaller living room
feel cluttered and confined. A better option is to choose a simple stationary
sofa. Choosing a contemporary sofa that features clean lines
and a basic design is best, as oversized cushions or excessive ornamentation
may seem too bulky for the space. An alternative option is to choose a love seat, accompanied by a few small accent
chairs.
Furnishing a Narrow Living Room
A narrow living
room comes with a completely different set of design challenges than a small
living room. Furnishing a narrow living room depends less on the size of the
seating and more on the shape and layout. To maximize seating in this type of
living room, consider purchasing a narrow, L-shaped sectional
sofa. We sell sectional sofas that can comfortably seat four or five
people, while taking up less space than a sofa paired with accent chairs.
Furnishing a Living Room with Awkward Corner Spaces
Do you have a
bare, unused corner in your living room that looks a bit out of place? There
are a variety of ways to use that empty space that will enhance your living
room décor. Consider placing a comfy accent chair in the corner, accompanied by
an overhead pendant light, in order to create a small, cozy reading nook.
Another option is to purchase a corner cabinet or accent table to place in the space, which you can top with picture frames,
plants, or other home decorations that will add beauty to the room.
