[av_textblock size=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” font_color=” color=” id=” custom_class=” av_uid=’av-keekxo1d’ admin_preview_bg=”]
The direction of the floor paneling can also have a huge impact on the feel of a tiny space .. (pay attention to this!)

i. Place it vertical to enhance the length, horizontal to enhance the width

ii. You want to see as much of it as possible

iii. It creates a sense of vastness / openness = a sense of it being larger

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” font_color=” color=” id=” custom_class=” av_uid=’av-keekxo1d’ admin_preview_bg=”]
Artificial lighting is arguably THE most important feature in any interior. Yet it is also the most overlooked and easiest to get wrong. To make things easier, here are the three types of lighting every space should be utilizing.

Ambient

Lighting that creates the overall ambiance of an area.

[ Think of those circular ceiling lights your always replacing at home … or those large grids of rectangular fluorescents from school ]

Accent

Lighting that accents something .. like artwork, a feature wall, or furniture

[ Oftentimes utilizing track lighting ]

Task Lighting

Lighting for specific tasks … like a desk at school/work or the dining table

[ Oftentimes utilizing table lamps, chandeliers, and/or pendants ]
