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.

  Place a small, comfortable armchair in the corner at an angle. Drape a throw blanket featuring a color that complements the room's color scheme over the back of the chair as a warm touch.

  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.
