While you don’t need to get book cases or TV cabinets, most of us want them. You don’t have to sacrifice such living room furniture, just because you have limited space. Just look for a TV cabinet or book shelves that are tall, not short. Make your living room furniture work for you, not against you, by using all of the available wall space, not just the space from your chest level or so down.
Of course, there are other pieces of living room furniture that you could get, too. Desks, display cabinets and more are available to choose from. If you want to fit such pieces of living room furniture into a small space, though, be careful. The last thing you want to do is over crowd your living room. Living room furniture should be inviting, not crowding or depressing.
