How to Decorate a Small Living Room With a TV, an Armoire, a Large Window

Mount a large mirror above the sofa, directly across from the TV. A large wall-mounted mirror makes the room look larger and more airy. Use other decorative touches, like pole lamps, which maximize the vertical space in the room while making it look less cluttered.

Maximize the storage space you have available by making your armoire do double duty as an entertainment center. Use the armoire to store your videotapes, DVD movies and music collection. Use the shelves in the armoire to store the remote controls for your TV, DVR and DVD when not in use.

Use a wall-mount bracket for your TV instead of using another piece of furniture to hold it. Choose a swivel-mount bracket to make it easier to move the TV to the best position for viewing.

Accent your large window with quality curtains in a color that matches the overall design and color scheme of the room. Choose curtains that are easy to open and close, since that makes it easier to let in as much light as possible while eliminating glare when you watch TV or read.

Mount shelving units on your walls to add additional storage and display space. Choose a combination of open shelf units and enclosed shelves for extra storage and utility while best using your limited space.
