How to decorate a small living room to get the most out of it

The living room is the heart of any home, but when space is limited, it is important to make the most of every corner with functional and aesthetic solutions. At Aina Vallés Interiorismo, experts in furniture design in Mallorca, Sóller and the Sierra de Tramuntana, we give you the keys to make your small living room cosy, practical and visually spacious.


  1. Light colours and neutral tones to enlarge space

Colours play a key role in the perception of the size of a room. If you want your small living room to look bigger:

✔Walls in white, beige or soft tones: They reflect light and give a feeling of spaciousness.
✔Furnishings in neutral tones: Cabinets, shelves or sideboards in light wood or white lacquered help to keep the space light.
✔Touches of colour in details: Adding cushions, rugs or paintings in more intense tones gives personality without overloading.


2. Made-to-measure furniture: The perfect solution for small living rooms

Custom-made furniture allows you to make the most of every centimetre without wasting space. Some ideas that work very well are:

✔Low cupboards or built-in shelves that make the most of the wall without visually overloading.
✔Multifunctional furniture, such as sofas with storage or extendable tables.
✔Unify the kitchen and living room with a sideboard that matches the kitchen furniture to give a sense of continuity.

At Aina Vallés Interiorismo, we design and install made-to-measure furniture for living rooms in Mallorca, adapting to every need.


3. The power of mirrors and lighting

✔Placing mirrors strategically doubles the natural light and visually expands the space.
✔Lighting at different heights, combining ceiling lights, floor lamps and wall lights to create depth.
✔LED lights integrated into furniture: perfect for illuminating without taking up space.


4. Intelligent layout: less is more

✔Do not overload the space: Less furniture, but well chosen, so that the living room does not feel cluttered.
✔Well-defined zones: Even if the living room is small, separating areas with rugs or low furniture helps to maintain visual order.
✔Compact or L-shaped sofas optimise the space without cluttering it.


5. Natural textures and materials for a cosy atmosphere.

✔Wood, linen and natural fibres provide warmth without cluttering the room.
✔Light carpets to delimit the living room area without losing visual amplitude.
✔Curtains made of light fabrics, such as linen net curtains, which let in light and avoid the feeling of a closed space.
