Lighting plays a bigger role in how we feel in our homes than we think. Just think about the last time you walked into a bathroom and wanted to scream, hmm, hopefully that’s not just me! Natural lighting, incandescent lighting, up lighting, down lighting, spotlights, the options are endless and the effects can be breathtaking.

The Beam Bed from Lago is inspired by the suns rays with a lighting system that illuminates the space between the boards. I love the lighting affect on the room, and wonder if a dimmer and remote is included. The way the boards are packaged also make it easy for installation in a tiny house with narrow stairways or loft access.

Much like in a kitchen where the upper cabinets offer storage space without sacrificing counter space, creating a more open feeling, you can suspend cabinets in other areas of the home to create storage without losing floor space.

These suspended cabinets from e15 are gorgeous and functional. This particular combination is made from the Shahnaz with 2 doors and Mahnaz with two drawers. Since each piece is the same size you can combine them in any number of configurations to match your room size and storage needs. The design really draws your eyes underneath, making the room seem larger even though you are introducing something that takes up space. Perfect for a tiny house!
