4. Storage under the sofa
Choose a sofa with storage space to slip in your winter clothes, winter duvet or even household linen.
5. Tailored
To optimize small spaces, have your furniture made to measure. The good idea: a huge bookcase like this one that brings a lot of hiding to the room while providing ample storage space.

If your kitchen is open, you can separate it from the living room with a glass roof. A good idea to optimize spaces easily.

To bring more grandeur to a small living room, we put everything on height. Thus, we choose a shelf or a bookcase that goes up to the ceiling in order to attract the eye.

In a small space, it’s important to measure the furniture you want. No need to take too large a sofa or too large a console. This would create a visual imbalance.

Forget the sofa, in a small living room opt for one or more armchairs. They are just as cocooning!
