I think that these points are easy to use, lovely and useful for tiny spaces:
Warm.... Corners... Task lighting... Solar... Small...
Warm - If you want to feel comfortable, then this is a good rule for ambient and general lighting: don't go for a higher number than 2700K or 3000K for your LED lightbulb's colour (should be marked on the box or the lightbulb!).
Corners - I always try to put at least a light in 3 corners of a room, high and low if possible. This difference of heights gives a lived in feel (gives dynamism to the space) and the corners being lit gives warmth (dark corners look like cold corners... cold corners can feel bleak and unloved).
Task lighting - In kitchen and workspaces you can go 3000K or even 4000K if you need a bit of cold lighting in order to see properly! If you're right-handed you'll want work light coming in from in front of you, above the workspace and possibly from the left, if left-handed from the front, above and right hand side! You can use forms which not only glow but also have directional light (like our solid white Bell Wall Lamp with double kunckle) or bigger splashes of light eg an Etheletta Inverse Lampshade mounted on the flush ceiling-wall fitting.
Solar - There are easy to install, useful solar panels with battery packs out there there days, and even solar lights which actually work well. Think walkers' emergency battery packs with led lighting panels attached, - they can just be set to go on every night, or you can just leave them outside on charge and use them as usb changing points when needed plus lighting when needed (outside or in).
Small - In a small house or tinyhouse you need small! Doesn't need to be tiny, but a solid little glass globe 10 or 15cm in diameter will probably be able to sit on any floor or table, or even hang high in a corner giving substance and good light without taking up too much space! Our Bell or even the recycled Noodle are great options for casual small and endlessly useful lighting.
