Big Ideas for a Small Family Room

If your family room is tiny, don’t worry. There’s still plenty you can do. To clear up clutter, consider constructing a built-in bookcase. They work especially well under a flight of stairs or under a window. Choose light colors so the room won’t feel so claustrophobic, and a mirror over the couch will also open up the space. For furniture, take a less is more approach. Otherwise, the space will feel extra cramped. If you are concerned there won’t be enough seating, think about bean bags for the kids or other portable chairs that can be stowed away when company comes or when you want to complete an activity. Finally, always think vertical. Wall shelves and hooks can increase your storage space exponentially.
