5 Design Tips for a Small Living Room

Some basic ideas:
1. Use a neutral color palette. Calming colors are easy on the eyes; opt for light-colored furniture to make your space appear larger. 
2. Utilize vertical space. Add visual interest on walls, whether it's with art, shelving, or window treatments.
