Nice Apartment Living Room

About Nice Apartment Living Room Android App

Living in a studio apartment or loft has understandably become a hot, urban trend. They often tend to be more affordable than larger homes or condominiums, and are often more readily available. But there are of course drawbacks to living in such a small space. Making a studio feel like a larger home can be a tricky endeavor. Due to the fact that studios operate as one open room, trying to create separate spaces can be difficult. Luckily, by using small living room furniture, you can have additional rooms so that you can have people over, while still maintaining some semblance of privacy. We have provided a couple of tips to help you make your small space feel a little bit less crammed.

1. Functionality is perhaps the most important aspect when it comes to designing a small space. When you're living in a compact area, the fact of the matter is that you're not going to have very much room for storage, and the more cluttered things are, the less room you will have. The good news is that you can get pieces of small living room furniture, such as nightstands and end tables, which will have some cabinet space, often located in the base. This can help cut down on the age-old art of simply stacking boxes in the corner, and will free up some much needed space.

2. Mentally partitioning rooms can work just as well as physical partitions. Items such as screens and curtains are available and can go a long way in separating space in a small area. If you are trying to create separate sleeping, eating, and sitting areas in your studio or loft, items such as bookshelves and entertainment centers can work quite nicely. The main point is to avoid the look of clutter, while still having the same aesthetic one would enjoy in a larger apartment or home.

3. Decorate lightly. By all means, you will want some sort of décor to go on your walls. But one of the keys to a nice studio or loft is to have the space open and welcoming, not just for guests, but for you as well. Remember, you have to live there, so it may as well be pleasurable. Lots of art and hanging items will make the space appear dark and unfriendly. Light art and mirrors can create the illusion of a much bigger room.

When choosing your living room furniture you will have some essential components and others that are more decorative, such as display items that are not essential, but nice to have. For example, sofas and chairs can be regarded as essential, while coffee tables and curio cabinets are functional, but not essential for a living room.

Small living rooms can be furnished only with seating and perhaps a small coffee table or two, while larger equivalents will contain more expansive choices of furniture. Here, we shall discuss the essentials, and make some comment of the decorative items that might be of use in smaller to medium size living rooms. Naturally your choice will depend upon your individual preferences, and if you love antiques or figurines a curio cabinet would be of more interest than a cocktail cabinet or bookcase.

The Essential Components: Sofas

Sofas and chairs are the stock components of a living room. Sofas in particular come in many different varieties, ranging from double to four-seaters with no particular functionality to sofas with reclining features, slides and even sofa beds that are useful for unexpected overnight guests.

Each of these forms of functionality involves an extra cost, so you should choose wisely if you elect to include them. For example, there is little need for a sleeper if you have a few extra bedrooms for guests, and why purchase a recliner if you never use it. Not all people like a footrest or to recline back when sitting, so the type of living room furniture you decide to purchase should be determined first by your own specific needs, and those of any potential future visitors should come second: you use your home more often than they do!
