apartment living room with modern lightingAttracting renters can be a difficult task when you’re working with a smaller space. Tiny apartments are great for single people or couples on a budget, but they aren’t always ideal spaces. The wrong lighting can make them appear stuffy and cramped, but you can use light to your advantage and make the apartment seem more spacious.

Bold Ceiling Fixtures

Directing attention upwards towards a gorgeous ceiling fixture opens up the space. It also adds plenty of illumination and drama to the interior design. The ceiling fixture should not be the only fixture in each room,, especially if there is not much natural light in the apartment.

Choose Warm Lighting

Warm lighting makes the apartment cozy and inviting. You can achieve this effect with LED, but don’t go too bright. Choose soft, yellow lights that relax. You don’t want your tenants to feel like they’re sitting in a waiting room.

Task Lighting

Small apartments tend to lack natural light, so it’s important to layer your light sources for sufficient illumination. Under-cabinet lighting is a great way to get focused light where you need it while avoiding cluttering the space with fixtures.

These are just three ways that you can strategically light a small apartment. In our next post, we will explore some more clever lighting techniques to help you attract tenants.
