Owning small homes is a common thing today and if you mean this space to be inviting and cozy, you should know how to decorate it to make it look not so small. The key is knowing how to arrange your furniture to make the biggest impact, regardless of what decorative pieces you use. Here are some ideas.
Center The Sofa
Create a centerpiece having seamless balance, it can be achieved by displaying your largest love seat or sofa in the center of the room. Keep your seating within the 2-4 range to allow breathing room throughout. Place more furniture around but keep the sofa highlighted, and voila!

Having your furniture in front of the window allows you to bring as much light into the room as possible.
