You will find room by room ideas for small living rooms, compact bedrooms, landings and studio flats, where wall lights help define separate zones without dividers. We also cover sensible bulb choices for fabric, how to keep shades clean and bright, the effect of strong sunlight on colour and the warm colour temperatures that help a small home feel calm and connected....
