4) Add Some Pattern to Subtly Contrast Plain Designs
To spruce up your small living room, why not add some vivid colours and design? Too little colour might make your small space look bland and boring, whereas too much colour and pattern can make you feel disoriented and unfocused.
It's all about striking the right balance.
Even if it's a small space, a design that incorporates well-chosen furniture pieces covered with textured carpets and tactile textiles may create a warm and charming living room.
You might consider getting an accent wall as well, which can make your living room classier while providing visual contrast that does not take up too much space.
