Small living room space, you say? No problem. Properly scaled smaller pieces will go a long way in making your living room feel spacious. In general, lighter color furniture will have a double benefit. It will make the pieces themselves look bigger and make your space feel larger. The key here is not lack of color, but lightness of color that will help reflect light, making the space feel more open and inviting. Try furniture styles with an open airy feeling to let light pass through. And don’t forget to ground the space with a large, light-colored rug. The larger the rug, the larger the room will feel.
