​​​​​​​3 steps to creating a functional small living space

Step 1: Start with the essentials

 

Step 2: Keep it simple

  

Step 3: Don’t overlook lighting

Ask your customer to think about the activities that they need to do in their tiny living room. Unlike kitchens and bedrooms that have clear uses, living spaces are more flexible and personal to your customer, but they’re also the area that can feel the pinch when working to a limited floorplan. Start with what’s important to their lifestyle.       

Living spaces are the areas in homes that are most decreasing in size, so it’s important to keep small living room design ideas simple. As well as helping to make a tiny lounge feel bigger, making sure it has the storage to stay clutter-free will make it a more relaxing area too.

  Lighting is key in the small living space, but with a limited footprint your design might not have room for lamps or wall lights. Consider flexible LED lighting that can adapt to how you use a space from day to night, as well as give a cosy, warm glow in the evening.
