Making Small Spaces Seem Large with Lighting

Special lighting techniques can really open up small spaces. For example wall sconces, plant lights and ceiling bowl lights can all make a low ceiling appear higher.

You can also accentuate fancy crown molding or a patterned ceiling using these fixtures. You can provide adequate task lighting for reading and other activities in rooms with little floor space by using pendants, swing arms, and other wall lights. You can create subtle effects by using a wall sconce with a mirrored back. You can make good use of the floor space you have by using floor lamps that incorporate magazine racks or built in tables. You can get light around your sofa without end tables by using a pair of candlestick lamps at each end.

You can create interesting works of art on your wall by using groupings of sconces in a particular area. You can also add light into a room by using picture lights to highlight your favorite painting or photograph. You can create the illusion of a wider hallway by using cable track lights to accentuate art pieces along the wall. You can add sophistication to a small space with a small chandelier or hanging lantern on a dimmer switch.
