Mengapa Cocok
Narrow rooms need design strategies that interrupt the bowling-alley effect. Placing furniture across the width rather than along the length breaks the tunnel vision. Round furniture — a circular coffee table, an oval dining table — softens the linear feel and creates better traffic flow. Multiple small seating zones arranged along the length create distinct areas that prevent the eye from racing to the back wall.
Cara Mendapatkan Tampilan Ini

- 2
Place a mirror on the longest wall to add perceived width
- 3
Paint the far short wall a slightly darker accent color
- 4
Use a striped rug running the width of the room
- 5
Place a light source or window treatment at the far end to draw the eye
- 6
Choose slim-profile furniture that does not block the walkway
Paint the short end wall a darker accent color — it visually pulls the wall forward and makes the room feel wider.

Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan
How do I arrange furniture in a long narrow room?
Avoid lining everything along the long walls. Instead, place furniture groups across the width to create zones. Float a sofa in the middle as a divider. Use a round coffee table for easier traffic flow.
What colors make a narrow room look wider?
Paint long walls in a lighter color and short walls in a slightly darker or warmer shade. This contrast makes the short walls feel closer and the room proportionally wider.
What size furniture should I use in a narrow room?
Choose slim-profile pieces that do not eat into the walking path. A loveseat instead of a full sofa, armless chairs, and thin-profile consoles keep the room functional without feeling cramped.
