Having an adjacent living &amp; dining room presents several options for layout. Enter the TV placement decision and how best to view it, and options for layout become limited. Often, the easiest option becomes to put the sofa in the center of the room facing the TV wall. This works well for large open spaces, but if your space is small, its best to keep the space between the living and dining room open, even if the TV placement is not ideal.

1. If it's an open space, keep the space between the living & dining open

Small spaces need sleeker furniture, and the more you can keep your floors clear the better. Try to lift furniture off the floor. E.g. hanging TV units and hanging shelves. This extra floor view helps create an illusion of more space.

2. Use Light Furniture and "Lift" them off the floor

Mirrors can enlarge your space in 2 ways: first they simply create the illusion of more space but also bounce light around making the space feel larger.&nbsp;

3. Mirrors can do magic for a small space

Decorating a small space can be trickier than having a lot of space to work with. Everything has to count and we still need to get all the functionality without making the space too cluttered &amp; crowded. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your space.
