A small living room, with the proper seating, can create intimacy and warmth in your home. To maximize the amount of space that you have, consider investing in smaller pieces like a loveseat instead of a sectional sofa. Then you can design around that loveseat with accent chairs. If you need even more seating, use novelty living room tables like coffee table ottomans that easily meld into your living room space but act as extra seating when guests come over.
