5 tips on how to plan lighting arrangements for a small flat?

Bright colours, few accessories and a large number of light sources are the most important rules for decorating small flats. The right lighting is crucial, which means both maximum daylight (and therefore not too many window decorations) and a suitable, even distribution of light points. They should make the rooms look bigger whilst adding depth to them. Recessed ceiling luminaires, such as Kanlux STOBI surface-mounted spotlights, are a great solution. Their additional advantage is the ability to set up the light beam in different directions, and with a  minimalist design, they are suitable for any arrangement. 

Narrow spaces can also be optically widened by using LED tapes, such as Kanlux LEDS SET. Quite often, they are installed in the space between walls and ceilings, clearly adding depth. Easy installation and eye-catching design are the main reasons why they are often chosen for small flats. An advantage of Kanlux LEDS SETs is battery power supply, thanks to which we do not need to worry about running additional electric installation.

We'd also like to remind you that wall lamps are also quite popular again. Luminaire models, with lights directed at narrow walls of rooms, make them look wider and the interior becomes much cosier. A good example of such a solution is Kanlux SEMPRA. With the original mounting strip for the lampshades, each of the models in the series can be installed both on the ceiling and on the walls, which gives you great freedom in creating your lighting arrangements. Importantly, even luminaires with 4 light sources can be mounted on them vertically. 

A great way of completing the look of the flat designed in this way is introducing movable light points in the form of small standard lamps. A good example is Kanlux DAIBO LED. They fantastic for lightening up workspaces and kitchen worktops, and can be used as additional side lighting or a night table lamp when it's time to rest.
