Using large art (and simple shade window treatments) will make the walls seem more spacious than a clutter of many small pieces or busy patterns. So go ahead, shop at the full-size-furniture store and find a home for those pieces you fall in love with. By sticking to your big ambitions, you’ll get the most from your small space — no compromises necessary.
Helene Dabrowski Interiors SaveEmail Narrow rooms. In a very tight tunnel-shaped room, rather than breaking the space into multiple microzones, embrace the length and fit in one full-size sofa. When you’re watching TV or reading a book, you won’t mind that the sofa faces a wall (while you stretch out and appreciate the extra lounging space), and when simply passing through, you will notice that the space looks extra long.
Low ceilings. The natural tendency in a space with a low ceiling can be to try to shrink everything to avoid drawing attention, but this can make the overall effect even more tight and claustrophobic. Instead, try balancing some squat pieces (like globe lights on the floor and a low-backed sofa) with some very tall items, like an overscale floor lamp, using every inch of the height that is available. This is especially effective under a slanted ceiling, because putting a light a few feet from the wall can take advantage of the extra headroom and draw attention away from the point where the ceiling is at its lowest.

Seating areas. The same logic of dining seating applies to the living room as well: One large, continuous seat will give you a comfortable place to stretch out on every day. Several compact chairs (which can be pulled from the dining area when needed) or a plush ottoman can maximize seating when you have company. Notice how in this room, space for end tables was traded for more seating space — worth it when you need that afternoon nap. See more on laying out your living room
