Althea’s Small-Space Method

Use this sequence to make a small living room feel open, intentional, and elevated:

1
Anchor the focal point
Choose one “visual boss” (TV wall, fireplace, or statement art) and align seating to it.
2
Protect the walkways
Keep clear paths so the room feels breathable—tight layouts feel smaller.
3
Scale down, not cheapen
Use smaller footprints with higher visual quality (slim arms, lifted legs, warm textures).
4
Layer warmth around bold color
Deep navy looks cozy when paired with warm lighting, soft textiles, and wood tones.
