Setting up a narrow living room: before

Our customer’s room was decorated very classically with a touch of country house charm. The rather clunky, heavy furniture was not ideal for the narrow space. The two showcases on the side of the sofa in particular restricted the space. Without a carpet, the square coffee table in the middle of the room also looked out of place and lost. Although the furniture was all roughly in the same style, it did not form a harmonious unit.

Save time and money – let our experts plan and furnish your home beautifully.

Setting up a narrow living room: our ideas

Our customer’s new living room needed to be modern, luxurious and timelessly elegant. The main element was to be a light beige sofa with delicate legs, which was combined with a matching armchair. The idea was to integrate otherwise light furniture with a clean shape and subtle colors. Natural materials should provide comfort.

The style: modern-elegant

Modern furnishings are based on neutral colors and simple, light shapes. It becomes elegant when you add accents with black and metallic tones such as gold. Natural materials ensure coziness.

Ideas for colors and materials for the narrow living room design project

As already mentioned, neutral colors play the main role and are mainly integrated here in the form of light gray and beige tones. Gold and black create contrasts. Light fabrics, wood and metal elements create a mix of cozy and modern-elegant.

Choose the furniture and decorations

The sofa is the most important element in the living room. Instead of an XL model, you should opt for a delicate version in combination with an armchair in a narrow living room. In general, light colors are recommended for larger furniture. Choose several light sources, these create a cozy ambience. Otherwise, the wall decoration is an important aspect; murals and room-enlarging mirrors should not be missing here.

The key products of the new look

1. Sofa is discreet and light in light beige. The slim legs in particular make it the perfect sofa for rooms that are not too large.
2. Armchair is the perfect match for Moby sofa. Both in terms of shape and color.
3. Thanks to its round shape, the coffee table is ideally positioned in the middle of the room.
4. Sideboard with doors made of solid ash wood brings naturalness into the room. Its herringbone pattern gives it an elegant look.
5. The metal shelf makes ideal use of the small wall next to the door. Pretty decoration is perfectly staged here in the delicate frame.
