Small living room ideas - maximise a tiny space with these genius design tips

Coming up with small living room ideas for your home shouldn't be seen as a hardship, but rather an opportunity to flex your creativity. A tiny living room presents the opportunity to create a bold and cosy space, something that isn't always easy to do in larger living room ideas. 

That being said there is a certain amount of skill involved when crafting a petite living room into a functional space that works for the whole family. In a small space, you have to dedicate time to getting the building blocks of the room right, including how to arrange furniture in a small living room, once you get the right everything else should be gravy.

'With a small living room, it’s worth taking time to really plan where your furniture is placed.  Although the available space may limit your options, the right layout can make a space seem larger than it actually is,' explains Adam Brown, Director at The Painted Furniture Company.

'Avoid the obvious solution of pushing everything back against the walls, instead allow space around key pieces of furniture.  This will allow the eye to see more floor space, making your room seem bigger.'
