Design Ideas for a Small Living Room

Rearrange Your Living Room - Functionality

If you are working with a small area, functionality is going to be your main focus here. Sometimes just a simple rearrangement of your current furniture makes your living room more functional and gives the appearance of having a redesign done. Most of the time, people just don't know how to arrange their furniture. The most basic furniture arrangement used most often by interior designers is to place the sofa across from the focal point with all other pieces of furniture angles to face the same direction. This will allow for everyone to get a good look at the television or fireplace depending on your circumstances. For spaces with a lot of doorways, draw a imaginary line that angles through the room from opening to opening. Make sure the arrangement does not cross over that line. http://www.bhg.com/rooms/living-room/room-arranging/living-room-furniture-arrangement-ideas/

Living Room Floors - Carpet or Hardwood

Wondering what kind of flooring to install. Well, that's an easy one. Hardwood floors are you best bet for increasing the look and value of your home. Carpets are way too much maintenance for most people. You have to vacuum and get carpet cleanings regularly in order to make sure your carpet stays looking fresh. Hardwood is much less maintenance and according to a survey by Lumber Liquidators, Hardwood actually increases the value of your home. Hardwood flooring is going to cost you a pretty penny but since you are designing a small living room it shouldn't be too much of a pocket cruncher.

Living Room Walls - Pictures & Accessories

Corner Wall Pictures or Shelves will be your best bet when working with a small room. Don't let any of your space go to waste. Too many people just don't know what to do with the wall corners. Here are a couple ideas when working with designing the corners of your walls.
