Lighting a Small Space
June 4th, 2010 by adminLighting can be your best friend when it comes to decorating a small space. Whether it is natural or artificial light, it can make a room feel larger, more spacious, and more open.
- Keep heavy drapery to a minimum and avoid placing furniture or plants in front of windows. Flooding a room with natural light, or letting in as much as possible given the space, will immediately make a room seem more open.
- Though one statement table lamp can make for a great focal point to a room, avoid too many heavy lamps that take up too much real estate in a small room. Overhead lighting such as chandeliers, recessed lighting, and pendant lamps take up less precious space and are also a stylish look.

- When choosing floor lamps for a small space, look for lamps that have more than one function. A floor lamp with a small shelf or table space that can hold a drink and a book or a picture frame saves you from adding another side table that there may not be room for.
- Make a variety of eclectic pendant lights hung at different heights the main focus of the room. If you don’t have room for both furniture and artwork, this is a great way to incorporate style into the room without sacrificing the room that you need for a bookcase, seating, or a desk.

- Consider sconces instead of table lamps in a small bedroom. This can either give you more room on your bedside table, or allow you to have a much smaller table or none at all.

Carefully placed lighting and using natural light to its fullest can make a space seem much larger than it actually is. Don’t be discouraged by a small space, be creative and you’ll have a wonderful space that may have gone overlooked otherwise.
