Know the Size of the Room

For you to be able to arrange furniture well, you have to know the size of the room. Measure the dimensions of the room with a tape measure as well as the dimensions of the door, hallway, and stairs that lead to the room. If you only measure the living room, you might end up buying furniture that can’t fit through the door. Make sure the furniture you buy is small enough to fit through the entrance and door.

Select Furniture That is Visually Light

To make your living room look bigger, focus on the visual weight of the furniture and not just the size. Light colored furniture pieces with legs appear lighter than dark upholstered ones. The legs of the furniture offer views of the floor making the space to feel more open. In addition, use a neutral palette throughout the room so as to push back the walls visually. Eyes can roam freely through a neutral palette hence a room looks bigger.

Mix Furnishings of Different Sizes

Every piece of furniture has width, height, and depth. Add visual interest to your living room by mixing furnishings with different characteristics. For example, you can mix a large sectional with small armchairs to create a lively space.  However, if you prefer a serene look, only use similar furniture pieces. These are ideal for relaxation and recovery rooms.

Ensure the Room is Well-Lit

Lighting is a vital element in any space and your furniture placement should maximize the light in the room. Spread the sources of light around the room and ensure every corner is well-lit. Additionally, make sure that the light is well distributed. If you want to make the room look tall, incorporate tall lamps.
