A small living room needn’t be a barrier to living in style and comfort. It’s a room that plays a central role in the home; a place where we gather to relax, socialise, and be entertained. It may also serve other purposes as a place to work, read, study or pursue hobbies and interests. 

With some creative planning and design, it is possible to find the perfect balance between style and functionality for a compact living room. Here are some suggestions to bear in mind for clever space and storage solutions. 

 

Consider floor to ceiling units

Built-in floor to ceiling units maximise the use of space and can accommodate awkward nooks and angles that would otherwise result in wasted space. They make full use of the height of the room, unlike freestanding units which will always create dead space above and to the side of them.  

Bespoke fitted units can be customised to a range of purposes, including book shelves, glass-fronted storage cabinets, storage cupboards, TV units, desks, and more. This creates a sleek and contemporary look that reduces the need for multiple items of furniture and means that you will always have somewhere to hide clutter.

 

Multipurpose items of furniture

Make your freestanding furniture work hard by using them for multiple purposes. For example, an ottoman footstool can be used to store magazines, blankets, or children’s toys, and is also a useful surface to place drinks trays or even use as an extra seat when you have a full house. 

Look out for sofas with built in storage systems such as a divan base, or a surrounding frame with drawers and surfaces that can be used as table tops for lamps, books, TV remote controls, cups, and so on. Coffee tables can be combined with hidden under-storage space. 

 

Use colour coordination to create harmony

In small spaces, using a single base colour for both the walls and shelving units can help to make them feel less intrusive. Stick to a limited palette and add interest with an accent colour for smaller items such as cushions, rugs, and lampshades. 

Light colours can help a compact space feel larger, as can using large wall mirrors and plenty of reflective surfaces such as glass-fronted cabinets. However, if you want to emphasise the cosiness of a smaller space, then bolder colours can work well. 

 

Keep on top of clutter

Cluttered spaces are visually unappealing and difficult to keep clean. Studies have shown that messy rooms can even affect our mental health and add to feelings of stress and anxiety. Therefore have regular decluttering sessions and keep anything you do not use on a daily basis out of sight. 

Bins or baskets that can be tucked under tables and floating shelves are useful ways of adding to the storage in a smaller room.

One word.... PERFECT. We decided to go with KOMANDOR after a very impressive initial planning meeting at their showroom in Aberdeen. This company "ooze" professionalism in every area, from customer service, design, offering honest advice, right to a NO FUSS fitting and instalation to an excellent standard of finish. The Carpenter arrived as arranged and was extremely respectful throughout the entire fitting of 2 fully fitted wardrobes. I'm amazed at how clean he worked with minimal noise and to produce a level of proffessional finish that my OCD can only dream of. KOMANDOR deliverd excellence from start to finish, thankyou to Lucas and the team. Would highly recommend and WILL be back myself to discuss bedside cabinates. 5 🌟

Komandor recently fitted new wardrobe doors for us. We got exactly what we wanted with high quality materials and a quick and efficient installation. In addition, Aga and the team helped to organise the work to take into account the fact that my wife is severely disabled. I would highly recommend this company.

Komandor fitted a wardrobe in a small bedroom in hopes to give back some space. The place now looks completely different, got new space, wardrobe looks classy and super sleek. They did an amazing job! Very happy with it.

Moved into a place which had the main bedroom in the attic. The roof angles meant ‘normal Ikea wardrobes wouldn’t be an effective use of the alcoves. We got a quote from Sharps and Komandor. Komandor was cheaper - worth noting both quotes were quite a bit higher than I initially expected but seems to be the going rate.The cupboards were installed probably a month after placing the order, the fitter was very good and left the room in a tidy state. There were two issues noticed post job, one being a scratch on a door, the other being a drawer not closing smoothly. I got in contact with them and they ordered a new door and fixed that and the drawer in one go. Cannot complain. Hopefully these will last many many years!

Komandor Aberdeen have just installed a fitted wardrobe in one of my bedrooms and we will use their services again!!! Every aspect of their service has been 1st Class right from the initial home visit through to a visit at their Rosemount premises and then the fitting. The Rosemount visit confirmed our initial positive impression of the quality of Komandor’s product and staff. All our questions were answered and the wide variety material options we were shown were very impressive. The wardrobe has been fitted and we are absolutely delighted with the finished product and the extremely professional manner in which it was fitted.When we look back at the other options we looked at we are so pleased that we chose Komandor who, in our view, were streets ahead of the competition. We have to thank Facebook for our choice as it was through Fb that we first saw the good reviews given to the Komandor products. Komandor have exceeded our expectations and we are just thrilled with our new wardrobe 😊😊😊
