Narrow Living Room in Two Zones

Small living room ideas

A long, narrow living room works better as two zones: a sofa facing an open shelf in the middle, and a reading corner with an armchair at the window end. Two rugs mark where each zone starts.

Get this look

  • Place the sofa along a long wall, not across the room, to keep a clear path.
  • Give the far end its own job: a reading chair, a desk or a small dining table.
  • Light the far end well so the room doesn't look like a tunnel.
