HGTV's Jenn Todryk Explains The Best Lighting For Low Ceilings
By ALEXANDRA RODRIGUEZ
Low ceilings can make a space feel dark and caged in, especially if you don't have enough natural light. An excellent way to open a space is with the proper lighting.
Jenn Todryk of HGTV's "No Demo Reno" says that using recessed lighting helps highlight focal points in the room and draw the eye to the ceiling, making it appear higher than it is.
Todryk suggests semi-flush-mounted pendant lights, but you don't have to stick to simple round-trimmed recessed lighting; pair them with chic low-light fixtures.
For instance, if you want an elegant light fixture for a room with low ceilings, Pottery Barn sells a beautiful light fixture with multiple capiz petals that create a lotus flower.
Pairing your mounted light fixtures with table lamps will also help enhance the lighting with low ceilings, especially when you don't get enough light in darker areas in the room.
