I Turned My Tiny Living Room Into a Cozy Oasis With These 18 Pieces
I recently moved into a new apartment, and my living room is on the smaller side. It has been a struggle for me, because I love hosting people and having guests over. As I started redecorating, I was hunting for pieces that both fit my style, yet made the most of my space. Upon my shopping journey, I found a handful of items that are cute and cozy. If you're looking for a little inspiration for your own living room revamp, then I'm here to help.
Ahead, I curated a list of a few of my favorite pieces, in addition to things I actually bought for my space. From a stunning coffee table that became the centerpiece of my room to space-saving pieces I use for storage, no doubt these will inspire a total rehaul. I shopped stylish pieces from Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, and even Amazon, so you can find something at every price point. Keep reading to shop them all.
