15 Stylish Living Room Designs for Small Spaces
Most people think that having a small living room will prevent them from designing it exactly how they want. However, this can’t be more far from the truth. Here are 15 designs that thrive in small spaces:
1. Minimalist Chic
There’s nothing small space owners need more than minimalism. You have to embrace the minimalist aesthetic and incorporate more neutral tones in your living space. We recommend using low-standing sofas and floating shelves. You can always use accents for pop of colors.
2. Urban Industrial
If you’re living in a male-dominated space, the industrial aesthetic can really build into your elements. Think about adding an exposed brick wall as your statement piece and incorporate metal accents and concrete floors for an urban vibe. It won’t be long till your man cave comes alive.
3. Scandinavian Serenity
Did you take that one vacation in Scandinavia that is now living in your head? Why not bring your vacation home by turning your small living room into a Scandinavian-inspired living space with neutral tones and wood furniture?
4. Bohemian Bliss
Do you have a Bohemian aesthetic? This aesthetic is popular with Millennials. You have to mix patterns, textures, and colors for the most Bohemian look. It won’t be long till you’re in Zen-mode in your small living space.
5. Mid-Century Modern
Most people shy away from the modern aesthetic because they believe that it isn’t timeless. If you’re looking for a timeless aesthetic, we recommend going mid-century modern for the best of both worlds.
6. Coastal Retreat
The beachy vibe is definitely our utmost favorite aesthetic and we are a little biased towards it. If you want your small living space to feel like a vacation house, bring all the beachy vibes to it. Use natural textures and light colors to create the airy and beachy atmosphere.
7. Art Deco Glamour
Are you an artistic who wants their small living space to match their vibe? Or do you just want to add a touch of luxury to your living room? We recommend using bold colors and geometric shapes for the perfect look. Don’t be shy with velvet or metals. And definitely use a lot of mirrors.
8. Modern Farmhouse
Missing your farmhouse back home? Or do you just live in the city where there are no farmhouses? Don’t lose hope as you can get the best of both worlds by combining modern with rustic.
9. Eclectic Elegance
You can embrace your eclectic style in a small living room by mixing and matching different design styles, colors, and textures. We love when homes incorporate layered rugs and vintage furniture pieces. You can also display an eclectic art collection for a more personalized and jaw-dropping space.
10. Japanese Zen
Whether you’re Japanese or are just a fan of their calming living spaces, this aesthetic can bring all the Zen to you. Keep the space clutter-free and use the utmost simplicity in selecting your furniture. Neutral tones and bamboo are your best friends.
11. Modern Boho
We’ve talked about Boho but we also need to talk about modern Boho. If you mix the textures of the Boho aesthetic with the neutrality of the modern aesthetic, you get the perfect combination of the modern Boho look in your small living room space.
12. Industrial Loft
Are you really going to give up on the opportunity to turn your loft into a total man cave? Chances are that your loft already gives out the industrial vibe so there isn’t much effort left on your part. We also recommend that you get rid of your old sofas and make the switch to leather ones.
13. Cozy Cabin
If you’re looking to add warmth and coziness to your living space, we recommend going for the cabin aesthetic. You can use natural materials such as wood and leather to add the cozy touches. We love when homes also use throw blankets and faux fur rugs to complete the look.
14. Artistic Expression
There’s nothing we love more than having an absolutely huge canvas be the focal point of your living space. If you have a small living room, a big canvas that takes up quite a bit of space on your wall can make such a difference. Make sure to use bold colors and textures to create a more vibrant look.
15. Smart and Stylish
One of the issues most people have with a small space is that there is no place for storage. This is why we recommend that you get living room furniture that has built in storage space for you to keep all your things.
