In this video, I’m sharing 5 furniture items I would NEVER buy as a professional interior designer for a compact space. From bulky recliners to the common "small rug" mistake, we’re breaking down how these items actually shrink your room and what you should choose instead to maximize flow and functionality. ►►What we cover in this video: The truth about open glass storage and visual clutter. Why recliners are the "space killers" of small living rooms. How high-back furniture blocks your natural light and sightlines. The "Golden Rule" for choosing the right size area rug. Why round dining tables beat square ones for traffic flow. ►►Designer Tips included: How to use "Tone-on-Tone" colors to make walls recede. The secret to making low-back furniture comfortable (Seat Depth!).
