Do you live in a small space like me?
Is your entrance big enough for one person at a time?
Is the ceiling just average hight? That some days when you're wearing your high heels you feel you could really touch the ceiling?
Don't worry, some pretty awesome things come in small packages.
Do you have small hallways at home, and not so sure what kind of lighting to put up there?
When you bring lighting into your home, make sure you measure as with anything else we do when designing any space, scale is so important.
You don't want to put too large of a light fixture that it swallows the room or even worse if its hanging too low, then people could hit it.
You also don't want too much of a small fixture that its lost or barely giving any light at all.
So here are a few of my favs. I love bling, so I will share these ones first
Crystals are also great attractors to good energy Good Chi as it is believed in FenShui, so make sure your entrance has a Crystal mini chandelier or pendant or even a semi flush mount.
Your walk-in closet? Do you think it could use something a little bit more interesting than the builder's fixture?
In hallways try to avoid lighting that is dangling too low, consider movement, kids if you have them and know how they just love to jump in the air and reach hights, last thing you'd want is a hand touching a lightbulb or anything that could shock them.
Have you ever thought of using a mini chandelier in your walk-in closet? Or perhaps in your powder room?
Your home could be a big home, but has small spaces - Like a small foyer, a small side entrance, a small powder room, a small mud room etc....
When selecting your fixtures, make sure you check the box for the watts it will be giving you, last thing you want is poor lighting, many of these Small Light fixtures can give up to 100watts and that is big light in a small space.
I Hope you have found this small posting to be fun useful and of help to you when you go shopping for your lighting.
Till the next tip, have a good one ♥

So your spage is tight, you buy a sofa and 2 chairs and need a coffee table...
You get a rectangle coffee table or a square one, and they chew up the left over space you had.
What do you do?
Opt for oval or round tables instead, immediately you create an easier flow.
What round and oval tables do, they have no edges so the eye is not travelling in sharp angles and stopping, therefore there it keeps travelling in soft curves instead.
Also if you use glass with metal or wood or all glass, the table tends to be a lot less heavier or it disappears if it's all glass in your space and makes the room feel a lot lighter than opting for a solid surface, the transparency of the glass allows you to see through and therefore not eliminating part of the floor.
Another option if you have an extremely small space which is actually the trend now in new development condos and homes, use end tables, use two end tables as opposed to one round or oval.
Using side by side end tables let the eyes travel in a figure eight form, so it is constantly flowing - and do you remember what figure eight was in science?... Yes indeed, it is the sign of infinity...
Hope you've enjoyed this little tip that will make a big impact on your small space and help you live large!
Love and Light ♥
