Maintaining a stylish décor style whilst working with a smaller space can be a challenge, but with the right decorative choices and additions, you can create the perfect look for your home. Knowing how to style a smaller space may seem difficult but try to focus on specific design features that are going to help enhance the space and create a fresh, open feel throughout the room. From incorporating light décor to bringing mirrors into the mix, continue reading to find out how you can transform your smaller living area whilst maintaining plenty of style.
Light and Airy Décor
Keeping the colour palette light and airy always helps to brighten the space and create a much more open feel. Light colours such as white, cream and grey work together to lift the atmosphere within a room and create a sense of space. You often find that working with a light colour palette in the living room is ideal for the kind of atmosphere you want to create, and you can add to the light palette with pops of colour through soft furnishings and pieces of artwork.
Wall art painting for Living Room
While you should not simply buy a painting just because it matches your couch, you should take into consideration the medium and prominent colours of the painting you display before hanging it in the living room. Try to correlate colour patterns or other styles with furniture and other existing elements in the room. For example, in a red room with a lot of red and brown accent pieces, a painting of red and brown with vibrant colours stand alone as painting and complement the rest of the room.

In addition, you have three options when it comes to hang a painting for living room. One way to add drama to an otherwise blank space is to hang an oversized piece of wall art painting in the centre of the living room, or you can add pops of colour by staggering pieces of wall art along the living room. The final option would be to combine the two ideas and create a cascade of smaller pieces of art centred around one large piece.

Brighter Spaces
Having bright areas within your living room will really help bring the space to life. The lighting within the room is essential, as dull rooms can feel cramped and small. By adding some stylish lighting fixtures to different areas within your living room, from the main light to lamps around the room, you can create a whole new look and make the room feel lighter and larger in an instant.
