Living in a small space doesn’t mean you have the feel cramped. With some design tricks and the right furniture, you can create a beautiful, comfortable, open-feeling living room. Check out these 7 tips that can help maximize your space: 1. Use Open Furniture. Bulky furniture can easily overwhelm your space.
