    Learn how to light up your small home for a brighter and more spacious room

    With the right approach and proper lighting techniques, even small spaces can appear more spacious and welcoming. To achieve this, you can utilise tips from experienced industry professionals like Arch. Shweta Kaw, who has a successful 15-year career in the field, including a role as a Sustainable Design Consultant in Singapore.

    Use multiple light sources

     

    Instead of relying on a single overhead light, use a combination of table lamps, floor lamps, and wall sconces to create a layered lighting effect. This will help in brightening up dark corners and add several dimensions to the room.

    These lights come with a glamorous touch and a sparkle that attracts attention. Chandeliers have a number of advantages, including the stunning crystals that give the room a magical feel. Not only do they beautify the interior around them, but they also make up areas and spaces that other light sources cannot cover.

    Limit window treatments to a minimum and place the furniture near windows. This will help in creating a sense of openness and bring in the much-needed natural light.

     

    Task lighting 

     

    Task lighting such as under-cabinet lighting, can be used to highlight specific areas of the room and make them more functional.

    Consider the color of your lighting

     

    Distinct lighting colors/tones can produce different moods and effects. Warmer colors like yellow and orange can invoke a friendly and inviting ambiance, whereas cooler colors like blue and white can convey an air of modernity.

     

    Use mirrors to reflect

     

    Mirrors are an excellent tool to reflect light and make a room appear larger. Mirrors can enhance the perception for the size of the room when hung on walls.

     

    By implementing these lighting tips, you can create a well lit, more spacious room in your limited space. Remember to experiment with different lighting options and find what works best for your interior.
