When it comes to light fixtures for an apartment, there will be several good options, such as ceiling fixtures, overhead lighting and sconces, lampshades, dimmable LEDs, mirrors and so on.
Installing a striking ceiling fixture should have the effect of drawing eyes towards it, thereby opening the room visually. In fact, a sizable ceiling light fixture would create illumination as well as making the room appear considerably bigger than it really is. On the other hand, a ceiling fixture should not be the sole light source in a room; it should complement and enhance the existing light. If the ceiling fixture is set up properly, it is sure to add to the appeal of a room.
When it comes to lighting choices for a powder room, a good option would be to have overhead lighting as well as slender sconces. Since your powder room is likely to be a relatively small space, you must not make it seem even smaller, as will be the case if you only have overhead lighting in it. Including a sconce along with the overhead lighting and other lamps, as well as natural light, will balance the illumination and create an open, inviting effect.
It is important to keep in mind that lampshades, in addition to providing decoration, actually have a significant impact on the light quality provided by a lamp. Generally, light-coloured lampshades will permit more light to enter the room, whilst darker ones will localise the light, making it shine below and above the fixture. Meanwhile, if your objective is to flood a room with light, you could opt for mesh or glass shades instead of conventional lampshades.
To make your apartment warm and inviting, it would be recommendable to use bulbs that provide yellow, softer light. This kind of lighting will relax the senses so that you will be able to sleep better at night. On the other hand, bluish light will hinder the release of melatonin, a hormone that contributes to restful sleep. To obtain yellow, soft light, a suitable choice includes dimmable and energy-saving LEDs with a warm glow and tone associated with incandescent bulbs.

Whilst selecting light fixtures you should consider not just a room's overall illumination but also the places where you will require focused light to work on a task, such as reading books at a desk. In this regard, you should also pay attention to your apartment's kitchen, where you will need task lighting in the form of illumination under cabinets to undertake cooking tasks and related activities.
Many of us are aware that installing mirrors will cause a room to seem bigger. However, positioning mirrors opposite windows will also make light bounce across the room, so that the appearance of the living space is maximised. This will also create an illusion of there being a greater number of windows than there really are. Therefore, putting up mirrors in this way is very likely to significantly enhance the appearance of your apartment.
