As far as possible, choose smooth lines, low furniture, which will make the space look more comfortable and bright, not full of cramped. For example, the delicate lines of the chairs, lamp holders, hanging rods can bring a lean sense of bone and log-like texture.

A sofa with short and thin legs allows the space to breathe better than a sofa with thick legs. Sofa with lower armrest position will not cut the line of sight, allowing the space to be extended. The principle is that the closer the furniture is to the floor, the further away from the ceiling, the space between the furniture and the ceiling will feel larger after the space is enlarged.
