Five layouts that make a small living room feel twice the size

Small rooms reward intention. Every piece needs a job, and the space between pieces matters as much as the pieces themselves.

Float the sofa

Pulling a sofa even 15 cm off the wall creates a shadow line that makes the room read deeper.

Size the rug up

A rug that lets the front legs of every seat rest on it unifies the zone and makes the floor feel larger.

Choose leggy pieces

Furniture raised on legs shows more floor, and more visible floor reads as more space.

Go round

A round coffee table like the Terra improves flow and removes corners you would otherwise squeeze past.
