Small Living Rooms


Choose furniture that can do double duty like this ottoman.

Two trays quickly take an oversize ottoman from a casual put-your-feet-up piece to one fit for formal entertaining



Hide your clutter in undercover storage units.

For an inexpensive take on a coffee table that's flexible to move and packs hidden storage, try a pair of cubes. Children's toys can be stashed inside these wicker models for easy access and they look great in almost any room.



Use artwork to add big style to a small room.

Give artwork extra sizzle against light-reflecting white walls by layering it on top of an inexpensive painted artist's canvas.



Stick with the same colors.

Subtle tone-on-tone patterns add interest to the draperies, area rug, and sofa upholstery in this living room without making the space feel busy. "See-through" legs on the sofa, side tables, and coffee table also help keep the room's feel open and airy.



Stacking accessories can add visual interest and contain the clutter



Get creative with your artwork.

Pieces of architectural salvage add instant character to rooms, but they can be difficult to frame. Here, a painted border cleverly showcases two old ceiling tiles, turning a small corner into an attractive focal point.



Certain window treatments can make a room look bigger.

Swing-arm-rod draperies make light work of creating privacy by night and framing views by day in this living room. Symmetrically arranged furnishings and matching sets of side tables and chairs underscore the sense of calm and order



Choose lower furniture that will complement the size of the room.

The success of many small living rooms relies on smart furnishings. A pair of low chairs allows an uninterrupted view through this apartment while providing a chat-friendly seating arrangement.



Use rugs to separate the spaces.

Conquer a long, narrow living room by breaking the space into two separate seating areas.

Living room curtains ideas 2011

Your choice of living room curtains will be heavily influenced by your family's lifestyle, and how you use your living room.

Quite often the living room is one of the largest rooms in the home, and has large windows to match. A large window give you the chance to use the welcoming effect of fabric to full advantage. You can achieve both a luxurious and cozy effect simultaneously. It's also the room which may be in constant use, during the day and especially in the evening.

So one of your aims may be to allow as much light in during the day, while in the evening to have a room with a certain amount of impact.

Living Room Pictures 2011 " HGTV Dream Home 2011 "


"I started with the sofa," says interior designer Linda Woodrum of her living area design scheme. "The green is about the harbinger of spring. When the fields and the trees start to turn green, it is a really exciting, emotional time."



A pop of red stands out against the room's high-contrast palette of green, white and black. A set of six coffee tables can be moved about the room, as activity requires.



Birch-bark boxes serve as pedestals for decorative objects. A modern-art metal lamp stands in high contrast to traditional turned-wood furnishings.



A console table provides baskets for storage and houses the room's home entertainment system. A 60-inch, flat-panel television transforms the space into a home theater.



A three-tiered side table serves up a container of fresh grass and decorative bowl, fashioned from a fallen tree.



Posters purchased at the Stowe Ski Museum mark the entrance to the ski dorm. "The bold graphic posters worked with the feel of the room," says interior designer Linda Woodrum.



The ceiling, clad in 1-by-6 pine planks, is cooled down with a one part water to one part grey paint wash.



An adjoining kitchenette services both the living area and the terrace. The nearly 10-foot-long counter features storage space, a refrigerator and oven/warming drawer unit.



A soft and shaggy rug underfoot begs guests to push coffee tables aside and recline. The sofa is equipped with a fold-out bed, should weekend guests exceed bedrooms.
