Small rooms ask for more lights, not fewer, just lower and softer.
Start with the ceiling
A single flush or semi-flush pendant gives a base layer. Keep it modest so it doesn't dominate the room.
Add height
A slender floor lamp in a corner draws the eye up and makes the walls feel taller.
Finish at the table
A table lamp on a side table gives the room a warm centre of gravity in the evening. Put them all on dimmers and you can change the mood in a second.
