While the days are slowly getting longer, a little extra light might not hurt – at least here in the Nordics. But which lamp should you choose to complement the sun? Read our best tips for lighting different spaces in your home on Design Stories!

1. MAYBE ONE MORE? Instead of a single bright light, create "islands" of light with several lamps. How about a table lamp on a side table and a floor lamp in a corner?

2. BIGGER ISN'T ALWAYS BETTER. Pick a lamp that suits the size of your room. A petite lamp can disappear in a large space, while a massive pendant can feel overwhelming in a cozy area.

3. GET FOCUSED. Consider what the space is used for: is there need for task lighting? Dimmable or portable lamps are flexible solutions for many lighting needs.
