Tiny Living room Help Needed!
10 years ago
My living room dimensions are 3.2 metres wide x 4.6 metres length. I would like to know what to do what to do with this place, I need a TV and dining table to be part of it. I mean how do you keep this place spacious but have a dining table and TV in it.
From the photos, I am getting rid of the fabric sofa but will buy an armchair. I can get rid of the table and chairs get a much smaller ones and the TV can be mounted on one of the walls if it saves space. Also the closed door can stay closed and only enter through one door from the main house entrance.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Comments (22)Hi, lots of good ideas already submitted. A loft or cabin bed will help make good use of smaller spaces, or an Ikea Hemnes daybed will extend out for sleepovers and has lots of storage space too. With a small space, I'd definitely go for white furniture and keep the style quite simple. Fitted furniture also worth considering if budget allows. If you are looking to "future proof" the room for when your daughter is older, consider a study bed such as those from www.studybed.co.uk - not cheap, but great use of limited space and will last well into teen years. Wrt walls - I'd keep it really simple as others suggest with offwhite or light grey walls and then add colour with soft furnishings. Of you want to add some girly interest to walls without breaking the bank, try the idea below - a couple of inexpensive stencils (butterflies here) and some tester pots of paint in nice contrasting colours....See MoreNeed help - Living room/Bed Room plan
Comments (2)I think you could make this room lovely Kate. Firstly, the bed you've sourced. Are you planning to sleep on it as a single or pull it out every night for a double? It's just that it seems you might have to move it 45 degrees every night from what I can see of the design. Other than that it seems like a good option for the space. You already have some ingenious ideas for creating hanging space but I would suggest some shelving (not sure if floating shelves would be strong enough?) with hanging rails underneath to give you a bit more space between the top of your 3 chest of drawers ( commodes) and the rail for longer items. There are some pics below for inspiration. I know we don't all only have black and cream clothes!! but you can see how adding a few picture frames, pretty boxes/baskets/ handbags, etc can make it look more like a glamorous dressing room. I'm assuming concealed wardrobe storage is out of your budget at the moment so making the open storage look as good as possible would be the trick here. Could the rabbit hutch be put on legs or onto an appropriately sized coffee table (ebay /gumtree find!?!) it would look more like part of the room, perhaps with a couple of pics leaning against the wall, food concealed in a pretty box/basket etc.) Does your other menagerie (all the cuddly toys) have to stay? If your looking for the style in your inspiration pics (which are lovely BTW) they might need boxing up and going tthrough the square hole into the loft/attic space!! They'll have a ball up there without you. Maybe a couple on the top of your rabbit hutch for old times sake :-) Good luck....See MoreI need help improving my living room and dining room
Comments (15)I think you could put the tv in the opposite corner on the other side of the window, then put the two chairs (if they'll fit) side by side on that wall (with the door) with the table in between. If these are a bit too snug, you could always angle them into the centre of the room. Then the sofa could go opposite the window at right angles to the door, but a little over towards the fireplace wall. This will give you clearly defined "square" sitting room area, which you can further delineate with a rug in your chosen accent colour and then add coordinating or matching cushions and throws. I would then move what I think is a glass cabinet (in the corner of the dining part of the room) to the left hand side of the radiator cabinet. I would then try to move the dining table more towards the kitchen and the now empty corner. For the dining table I would look at getting something like a table runner or a big bowl/vase/ornament with reflects your chosen accent colour which will visually join up the two areas. I would also be tempted to replace one of the pictures with a large mirror. And also perhaps think about getting different wall art....See Morehelp! cluttered tiny living room
Comments (26)Is this your only Reception space Rose? Have you got 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, this room and a small hallway? I love all the suggestions above and I'm also wondering how soon you are thinking of putting the property on the market? It might help with some of your decisions. This living space is trying to do an awful lot of things so you might want to consider if there's room in your bedroom for a home office. But if you're not putting your home on the market for 12 months say, you have to consider where the best place is to work in the meantime. If this was possible though, the TV could then go in the the right hand alcove and perhaps free up some space for a small (extending?) dining table by the patio doors like your neighbours have. It doesn't really matter how you live (we all live for comfort and our own convenience) but when it comes to photographing your property and showing it, that when the homestaging needs to start. Then I'd be looking to put as many of the baby stuff in the nursery (even the pram if no room in the hallway) except the high chair which could go in the kitchen, if room, or around a small dining table if you think that's an option. I've got friends who have put a pram and baby walker in their neighbours house and stuffed the car boot with stuff to give the impression of more space when having viewers. 😂...See More- 10 years ago
