If you&#8217;re a messy person (no shame!), consider using some stylish banker boxes to categorize and contain your items.

But you can learn how to do it, too! There are several categories of lighting: general, ambient, task, mood, and accent lighting. And don&#8217;t forget to incorporate natural light! <b>Think about how you currently use your small space, and let your own living habits to guide your lighting design<\/b>.

Clever furniture arrangements and rug placements help designate specific, separate areas for activities. You could even utilize furniture on wheels if you&#8217;re the sort of person who will happily do a bit of rearranging before a party. For example, a bar cart on wheels could move from the living room to the kitchen to make room for guests.
