Design Highlight: Vertical Light

When light is installed nearly blush against a vertical surface, walls come to life much like a 3D movie; this design highlight is referred to as wallwahing. Consider the effect light has when used as an accessory rather than a simple necessity. The below images capture wallwashing in residential spaces.

//Smooth glass blocks take on new angles and shadows.

//Wood becomes exotic in color.

//Textured walls become visually tactile.

Hmm. One of the most advices that I give to people when they are only considering a small house is to make that small house look like a wide space inside. With the one you said, proper and creative lighting, as well as effective way of organizing stuffs, your house will definitely appear wide and spacious even when it is just a small area. Most interior designers do this on houses to make it appear more attractive and comfortable for living.
