Designing a small living room to make it look roomier is a tricky proposition, since you need to find the correct balance between making the room look spacious while also making space for extra furniture. While you could always seek the help of interior design houses who can help you redesign your HDB apartment, here are some creative small living room ideas that will help you make the area visually stunning and spacious.
A mirror: Increase light and position it across a window for maximum benefit.
Hidden storage: Limit your clutter with the help of built-in storage furniture.
Try small-sized leggy furniture: Stick to chairs, small settees and love seats.
Use the height of the room: Offer visual delight above the head to create an impression of grandeur.
Add plants: A touch of greenery within a small space adds depth to a room.
Use multi-utility furniture: Ottomans and side tables can be used for various purposes while keeping the living room clutter-free.
Folded seats: Keep extra folding seats that you can fold away unless you have multiple guests over.
Use a sofa-cum-bed: These multi-utility pieces help you to entertain guests who might want to stay over.
