How to Decorate the Corner of a Small Sitting Room in a House

A sitting room is an area to entertain guests, host intimate get-togethers or relax with a book. If the room is small, maximize the space by making use of every corner. Choose decor items that complement the overall look of the sitting room, rather than make it appear cluttered. Create a cohesive look by decorating with pieces that match the theme of the sitting room.

      Set a small table or standing lamp to one side of the chair to create a quaint reading nook. Place a decorative lamp on the table. Maximize space by choosing a lamp or table that features an attached magazine rack.

      Decorate the opposite side of the chair with a tall, potted plant, such as a parlor palm, to add a fresh, green touch to the space. Choose a pot that complements the room decor, such as terra cotta for a rustic, garden-inspired look.
