Small living rooms can be tricky, but the right decor choices truly change everything. These are the pieces I always reach for when a space feels tight or unfinished—items that keep sightlines open, add function without bulk, and help the room feel calm instead of crowded. Think rugs that are bigger than you expect, round coffee tables that are easy to move around, low-profile seating that doesn’t block the view, mirrors that reflect light, and large-scale art that replaces lots of little cluttered pieces. These are simple, timeless choices that work hard behind the scenes and make a small living room feel more open and pulled together. You can shop all of the decor from this small living room guide below.
