Have you thought about trying those little white xmas tree lights that are all connected on a wire? Maybe you could run those along the concaved wall seems in your living room instead of traditional lighting, since you don't have the room. Also, try some of those new battery operated candles to put on top of your furniture. Those 2 ideas should help to brighten up your little apartment! Hope that helped!

To help make the area look bigger paint the walls a bright white in an egg-shell or satin sheen. The brighter color and the mildly reflective surface of the paint will help bounce the light into the dark corners. Also use big mirrors to make the room look like it continues on. also use furniture and decorations with vertical stripes. Painting vertical stripes(in light colors) on areas(don't go nuts) of the wall will also make the room look taller. Make sure any lights you use are very bright, especially near the dark corners. weak or dull lights will just make the area look small and cramped like a cave.

There a numerous types of lighting that you can take with you when you move on. You could also add lighter furnishings. i.e. rug, slipcovers, table cloths, throw, bedding. Pictures for the walls with a lot of white in them. A mirror will also reflect lighting. More lighting. There a numerous types of lighting that you can take with you when you move on.
