8. Play with Lighting Layers
Lighting can completely change the mood of a room. In small spaces, one overhead light is not enough. Create layers of lighting by combining floor lamps, table lamps, wall sconces, and string lights.
Soft lighting makes a room cozy and inviting, while brighter light is ideal for working or cooking. Wall mounted or hanging lights free up table space and reduce clutter.
Consider using warm toned bulbs instead of harsh white lights. They add warmth and create an atmosphere that feels welcoming rather than clinical. With creative lighting, even the smallest space can feel like a retreat.
