I am thrilled to have a “Guest Blogger” today. This post on Lighting for Dark Corners has been written specifically for my blog: Smart Design for Inner Spaces. I have read many of the blogs written by the staff at Design Shuffle and have found them to be highly informative. I hope you enjoy this post….Robin
Almost every home has a room with a dark corner. These spaces might be tucked in a living room or entry, part of a dining room or hall. Finding a lighting solution for dark corners takes some clever interior design ideas and sometimes ingenuity, but luckily there are some simple solutions. Here are some of the simple and clever ideas we found for lighting those dark corners.

Small sculptural pendant lights bring interest and light to a dark corner. A single pendant light or a small grouping will illuminate a corner.

Diminutive lights or candles on a small side table or shelf work to brighten a dark corner or tight space. Wall mounted or shelf mounted task lights are great ideas as well for any den design.

From CB2, simple can lights placed on the floor are an easy solution to brighten a dark corner. Placed behind a piece of furniture, these little lights can create a dramatic effect especially for your bedroom design.

Found this photo in Bibidream’s stream over on Flickr. The shiny silver table lamp and mirror add light and sparkle to this dark corner. A mirror is a great way to enhance the effect of a lamp or natural light.

The Tazana foliage pendant lamp adds not only light but a bit of color to a dark corner. These pendant lights are small enough to be hung in a group—for terrific decorating ideas, group them in odd numbers.

The Established & Sons Corner Light by Peter Bristol would work for a contemporary space. Its minimal lines create a glowing triangle when illuminated.

And lastly, don’t forget those dark corners outside your home. Simple barn lights can add light to a porch or garage to light the way.
