3 rooms in one: Find out how to decorate your living room – Topky cheaply and stylishly

Divide but merge at the same time

The biggest challenge in furnishing a small living room, which also serves as a dining room, study or children’s playroom, is to create boundaries between individual zones. “It is good to divide the room into several sectors, but at the same time it is necessary to combine them into one harmonious whole,” says Janka from IKEA.

Zone division is important especially so that more people can work in the room at the same time and do not interfere with each other. However, the individual parts of such a living room must be connected to each other so that the room does not look too chaotic. This can be taken care of, for example, by matching color combinations of furniture. The double – sided library, for example from, is also ideal for this purpose shelves KALLAX. Thanks to it, you will get, for example, your own work corner, in which you will not be disturbed by children playing or other members of the household.

Think of storage space

When choosing furniture, it is necessary to think so that you get the most out of the minimum. Replace large cumbersome cabinets with modern chests of drawers with a slim design, but plenty of storage space, or a shelf system for the entire wall. A footstool with hidden storage space, for example, is practical VIMLE (IKEA, € 150). For children as well as adults, it is suitable to use a cabinet or table on wheels, which you can easily move where it suits you.

Be careful with accessories

You can liven up the sofa with distinctive pillows, walls with colorful decorations or paintings. But be careful not to overdo it. As the saying goes, it hurts a lot. In this case, too many accessories can make your living room look less visually. And you probably don’t want that.
