3. Floating Furniture Layout

A clever way to make a small living room feel bigger is by using floating furniture—pieces that aren’t pushed against the walls. Arranging the sofa and chairs slightly away from walls creates pathways and visual breathing space.

Tips:

  • Use rugs to define separate zones.
  • Keep accessories minimal to avoid crowding the room.
  • Opt for furniture with legs to keep the floor visible and airy.
