The sofa is the central piece and its size should be proportionate to the space available. So, forget about that spectacular sofa with a chaise longue that you saw at the store. It’ll take up too much space.

Therefore, you need to measure the room properly and consider that modular sofas are a great solution for tight spaces. Depending on your needs, you can join them or separate them.

The coffee table that you need

After choosing the right sofa, it’s time to choose the perfect coffee table for a small room. It’s a good idea if the coffee table has storage space, where you can keep and organize things, while it also serves as a decoration.

Also, there are some beautiful chests that can be used for this purpose, as well as modern tables, such as the KVISTBRO from Ikea, where you can store blankets.

Walls as key elements in small spaces

If your room isn’t large, you can use practical solutions such as the walls in your favor. 

For example, if you want a TV in the room, it’s advisable to anchor it to the wall, and in that way, you don’t have to use a TV stand.

Furthermore, you can put floating shelves on the wall to hold books. Avoid using large shelves that occupy a lot of space. Don’t forget that horizontal lines make you feel that the room is larger.

Minimalism is your best choice
