Decorating Tips for Small and Large Living Areas

Decorating living rooms, regardless of size, can be exciting yet challenging. Whether working with a cosy, small space or a grand, open area, the key is maximising functionality while creating an inviting and aesthetically pleasing environment. On this page, our team at SJF Property Solutions offer some tailored decorating ideas for both small and large living rooms.

We specialise in property maintenance and handyman services for clients in Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding areas. Our experienced team is also available for commercial repairs and various property refurbishments.

Small Living Rooms

Maximise Light and Space

Light Colours: Use light, neutral colours on walls and furniture to make the room feel larger and more open, such as whites and creams.

Mirrors: Strategically place mirrors to reflect light and give the illusion of more space, as a large mirror on one wall can make a small room feel twice its size

Smart Furniture Choices

Compact Furniture: To prevent the space from feeling cramped, choose smaller-scale furniture that fits the room’s proportions, such as two-seater sofas and narrow tables

Multi-Functional Pieces: Consider furniture that serves multiple purposes, such as sofa beds or footstools with built-in storage to help save space and reduce clutter

Vertical Space Utilisation

Tall Shelving Units: Use vertical shelving to draw the eye upwards and create additional storage without taking up floor space

Hanging Baskets: Incorporate greenery through hanging or wall-mounted planters to add life and colour without occupying valuable floor space

Decorative Accents

Statement Pieces: Use one or two bold decorative items, such as a vibrant piece of art or a unique coffee table, to draw attention and add personality to the room

Minimal Clutter: Keep decorations minimal to avoid overwhelming the space, and only select a few key pieces that complement each other and the overall design

Large Living Rooms

Layered Lighting

Multiple Light Sources: Use a combination of overhead lighting, floor and table lamps, and wall sconces to create a warm and inviting atmosphere

Statement Lighting: Consider chandeliers or large pendant lights as focal points to add elegance and interest

Scale Up Furniture

Grouped Furniture: Avoid making the room feel empty by arranging furniture in groupings to create intimate conversation areas within the larger space

Large-Scale Pieces: Don’t be afraid to use large furniture items, such as oversized sofas, sectionals and armchairs, to fill the space and provide ample seating

Define Areas with Rugs

Layering Rugs: Consider layering rugs of different textures and patterns to add depth and visual interest to the floor space

Area Rugs: Use large area rugs to organise different zones within the room, such as a seating area or dining space

Bold Decorative Elements

Tall Plants: Incorporate tall plants and indoor trees to add height and a natural element, enhancing the room’s scale and aesthetic appeal

Large Artworks: Adorn walls with large-scale artworks or gallery-style arrangements to make a dramatic statement and fill expansive wall space
