Creating an inviting and functional living room design in a small space can be a challenge, but with the right approach, it can become a cozy and stylish area. Here are five tips to help you maximize the layout of your small living room:
Choose the Right Furniture
opt for furniture that fits your room. Look for pieces that serve multiple purposes, like a coffee table with storage or a sofa bed. Avoid bulky furniture that can overwhelm the space. Instead, select slim and streamlined pieces that allow for easy movement. Sofas and chairs with raised legs can create a sense of openness, as the floor extends beneath them.
Use Mirrors to Create an Illusion of Space
Mirrors are a fantastic tool to make a small living room feel larger and brighter. Placing a large mirror on a wall, especially opposite a window, can reflect light and views, adding depth to the room. Mirrors can also be used as stylish accents on walls, helping to break up expanses of solid color and add interest.
Lighting is Key
Good lighting can transform a space. Utilize a mix of lighting sources - overhead, floor lamps, and table lamps - to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Layering light at different heights and intensities can give the room a dynamic and spacious feel. Where natural light is limited, make the most of it by keeping window treatments minimal.
Select a Light Color Palette
Light colors make spaces feel bigger and airier. Use light, neutral colors for your walls and larger furniture pieces. This doesn't mean the room has to be devoid of color; you can introduce vibrant colors through accessories like cushions, rugs, and artwork. This approach keeps the space feeling open while allowing for personality and style.
Smart Storage Solutions
In small living rooms, every inch counts, so opt for smart storage solutions. Built-in shelves or cabinets, storage ottomans, and multi-functional furniture can help reduce clutter. Keeping the floor as clear as possible will make the room feel more spacious. Wall-mounted shelves or cabinets can be great for storing books, decorative items, or electronics.

Why Trust Urner's and Urner's Mattress?
Urner’s started on the back of a bicycle - yup! A bicycle! David E. Urner, a local high school teacher, who spent his summer months selling Wear Ever cookware off the back of a bicycle (think 100+ degrees). David teamed up with another local teacher, Errol P. Janes to create “a new type of store – one that would cater exclusively to providing an easier way of living for the women of Kern County”, and on September 19, 1919, Home Appliance Store was opened to the public. The store boasted a rather impressive selection of “modern” appliances, including a washing machine, a freezer, a gas range, an automatic dishwasher, and an assortment of small appliances. Since then, Urner’s has expanded selections to appliances, furniture, mattresses and cabinetry!
For nearly one century, the Urner family and Urner’s business have both been an integral part of Bakersfield and Kern County, with contributions to community (Better Business Bureau, Sister City Projects, Bakersfield Symphony), charity (Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Dream Home, House of Hope) and education (CSU Bakersfield, Ray Dezember Leadership Development Center.
