Lighting Tips for small space design

DESIGN ADVICE WITH KRYSTIN (6).jpg

Small spaces can often end up feeling dark due to small or nonexistent windows. Make up for the lack of natural light by adding plenty of light sources in every room, from the kitchen to the bedroom. Combine striking ceiling fixtures—either a pretty pendant or elegant flush mount, depending on your ceiling height—with sconces or table lamps for a cozy and bright atmosphere. when it comes to serious small house interior design, every inch matters, so make the most use of your space with wall-mounted extras and lighting to free up space on tabletops while setting a mood with smartly placed lighting fixtures on your walls for added drama.

Lighting is so crucial in a room. Some lighting can make a room look green and sickly while others can make a room warm and bright. Knowing the difference between these types of lighting will help you decide what light bulb to use in each room. 

 There are mainly four types of light bulbs: Silver Bowl, Soft Pink,  Round Candelabra, and the Edison bulb. 

Silver Bowl: Has a metallic finish on the top half of the bulb which helps soften the light, which is a great solution to overhead exposed bulbs.

Soft Pink: Just like it says- it gives a soft pink glow which makes everything look warm. Perfect for mood lighting the living room, dining room and bedroom.   

Round Candelabra: These are perfect for making an outdated chandelier look modern.

Edison: These lights have a visible filament and rustic glow. They work best in a light that has an exposed bulb.
