It’s amazing how just the smallest things can totally change how you feel about something. A few months after I moved into my apartment I was feeling a great deal of renter’s remorse. A couple of changes and improvements helped, but didn’t remove thoughts of moving from my mind.
On Sunday, I rearranged the furniture and the new set-up makes the place feel twice as big. Now, three guys can sit around comfortably playing video games, drinking Buds, smoking cigarettes, and just generally pretending they are still in college. Ben, Erik, and I proved this last night.
Here’s the trick to making a small living room seem larger. Put the TV in the corner on an angle and the sitting pieces in the other corner. That way the distance from where you sit and the screen are on the diagonal which is the longest distance in the room.
