We know that Light is a very important factor in home interior design. While the plant life in the garden needs life, the room interiors feel more breathable when they are well lit. Darkness is closely associated with claustrophobia so stay away from dark shades and low wattage lighting fixtures.
Furniture placement is not something that involves throwing a chair by the window and the bed against the wall. When purchasing furniture for a small square footage always go for height rather than width and always arrange the furniture in a "facing" or conversation placement.
