Transform Small Entryways into Bright, Spacious Havens with These Lighting Tricks
Transforming a cramped, dim entryway into a bright, spacious haven is possible with clever lighting tricks. Seven top interior designers share their secrets to make small spaces appear larger and more inviting.
Adding a skylight can dramatically brighten a dark room and create the illusion of a bigger entryway. Cool to neutral light bulbs (3000-4000K) mimic daylight, enhancing the sense of openness in tight spaces.
Hanging mirrors near light sources reflects natural light, amplifying the brightness and making the space feel larger. Layered lighting, combining ceiling lights, wall sconces, and indirect lighting, creates a warm, inviting glow without being harsh.
Lighter, airy curtains let in more natural light, while lighter wall colors amplify the light in the room. Low profile light fixtures ensure the space feels open and uncluttered.
Strategically placing lighting to create shadows and highlight specific areas offers a small entryway more depth. Using glass or reflective light fixtures helps bounce light around the entryway, maximizing its impact.
With these ingenious lighting ideas, even the smallest entryway can feel spacious and sophisticated. By incorporating a mix of natural and artificial light, and using clever design tricks, any cramped space can be transformed into a welcoming haven.
