The walls must be painted with lighter shades (preferably- white) because light shades work well in small living area, giving impression of a larger room. Whereas, dark colors have opposite effect- they make your room seem more compact and dull. So, always go for lighter color scheme if you want your small room to look wider. Hints of some bright colors can also be used to make it look livelier and spacious at the same time.

Select modular and light colored furniture

There are ample modular furniture designs available online or in stores for small living areas. Such furniture pieces make the area roomier as well as serve various other purposes. For instance, a modular sofa that turns into an extra seating and bedding could help you to accommodate more guests within small space. Meanwhile it creates an extra bed in case your guest plan’s to stay overnight.

Apart from that, try to select light colored furniture for your living room to occupy less visual weight, providing an unobstructed view of the floor to make it appear more spacious.

Use mirrors and light colored wallpapers
