How can I choose the right lighting for my small space?

Choosing the right lighting for small spaces involves considering brightness, fixture size, and placement. What type of room are you lighting?

It's a living room, and I want it to feel cozy but also bright enough for reading.

For a cozy yet bright living room, consider using a mix of ambient lighting, like ceiling fixtures, and task lighting, such as floor or table lamps. You can also use wall sconces to save space.

What about color temperature? Should I go for warm or cool light?

Warm light (2700K-3000K) creates a cozy atmosphere, perfect for living rooms. Cool light (4000K-5000K) is more energizing and better for task areas. A mix can work well too!

Any tips on how to position the lights?

Position lights to highlight key areas, like artwork or seating. Use floor lamps in corners to draw the eye upward, making the space feel larger.
