You want to decorate your long living room, but after looking at photos of modern interiors, you might feel that these ideas are only suited for large rooms with perfect proportions. However, it’s entirely possible to create a harmonious and inviting space, even in a long, narrow room. The key is to focus on filling the space in a way that balances its proportions, making it comfortable, attractive, and spacious. One common mistake is placing all the furniture against the walls because the room is narrow and long. This approach can actually emphasize the room’s awkward shape, highlighting the very issues you’re trying to minimize. Instead, consider floating the furniture away from the walls, creating distinct zones within the room. This not only breaks up the space but also creates a more dynamic and visually interesting layout. When decorating, focus on details that divert attention from the room’s narrowness. Play with colors, textures, and patterns to add depth and character. Strategic use of mirrors can also create the illusion of more space, while properly placed artwork can draw the eye around the room, making it feel more expansive.
