11 Design Ideas for Splendid Small Living Rooms

The thing to remember is that you really don’t need much room in a living room. A living room is for socializing, for gazing at the fire or for watching TV. Mostly, it is for conversation. You do not need space to do yoga in the living room. In fact, as long as you can walk around the coffee table, you’re fine.


You can pack a lot of style into 100 square feet. But whether you lean toward traditional or like to go boho eclectic, making a small living room work is all about choosing a focus and arranging the right furniture in the right configuration.


Here are 11 well-done gems in as many different styles.



If you have a fireplace, make it the focus of the room. Arrange the furniture in an intimate arc, rectangle or square around it. And remember, you don’t have to be facing it for it to be the focus.



The classic combo: a sofa, two chairs and a coffee table. That’s really all you need to create a cozy and intentional conversation area. And as long as people aren’t bumping their knees when they sit down, you’re fine.



This is a time-honored arrangement: a sofa and two chairs at a 90-degree angle with a side table serving both. A large upholstered ottoman does triple duty as a coffee table, extra seating and a footrest.
