Something that can also help decorate a small living room with a fireplace, is the simple design and upholstery of the fireplace. A light stone cladding is ideal for a minimalist living room with a fireplace. If you do not have such an investment, then a drywall, which can even be painted in the color of your choice, is the ideal, economical alternative.
When the fireplace is not in a corner of the living room, a smart tip is for the sofa to be directly across from it. And the TV? Since it is a key element in most living rooms, one option is to go over the fireplace, if it is flat, otherwise at an angle along the same wall, so that it is opposite the sofa.

The dining room is often located next to the living room or kitchen. A smart solution, in these cases, is to follow a single style of decoration. This can be done either by using the same wood in the dining room and on the counters, tables or shelves, or by a common color palette!
In order to save space, you can choose a dining table with a counter instead of chairs, so that when the dining room is not used, the counters are stored under the table.
If the space is long and narrow again, choose a long narrow dining room. So, leave corridors on both sides, so that anyone can move freely. Alternatively, a piece of furniture that can be used both as a dining room with high stools and as a console fits into many modern homes.
Another key word is the word "carpets". Using different rugs helps to visually separate the spaces and create "rooms". So a single space with living room, kitchen or dining room, seems even mentally special!

Light colors on the walls make a space look bigger and lighter. By allowing light to diffuse, the white tones highlight your living room, while giving it grandeur.
If you are not a fan of absolute white, you can create visual contrasts by painting a wall of the living room in a bright color. Prefer to paint the wall brightly against the white, so that both colors stand out.

Pillows , vases, curtains or other small items will give a playful mood. Pay attention to the multicolor that creates unnecessary noise in the space. The combination of 2 or 3 colors is ideal so that a small space does not look too crowded., do lighting?
