How to Make Your Living Room Look Bigger

The key to living happily and beautifully in small quarters is combining space-saving and multifunctional solutions while expressing your personal style. These 10 tips can help you make the most of an all-important room: the living room. Open it up to other rooms, widen doorways, and remove doors to each connected space. Invest in built-in furniture and shelving to fit your space and needs. Custom built-ins are ideal for small rooms because they can size each piece of furniture for a challenging space while adding a feature or two that maximizes its use.

Get creative with furniture layout and lighting by arranging furniture to create separation between functional zones, emphasizing natural light sources, and letting the sun shine in. To enhance natural light in a room, place a mirror where it will reflect the light from a window or a hanging pendant directly over the table. When possible, place your most-used pieces of furniture so that they have a view of the outdoors.
