You moved into the ideal apartment in a fantastic Carmel community but noticed the lighting leaves a little to be desired. How can you make it better without permanently changing your space? You don’t have to be an electrician to add more illumination. Instead of wiring new fixtures, illuminate your living area with the following apartment lighting ideas.

Choose From A Range Of Portable Lighting Solutions

Adding a portable light is among the simplest solutions for an underlit space. You might integrate lamps wherever needed, but there are alternatives you may find more appealing. Explore one of these items that provide the added light you want without irreversibly modifying your apartment:

  • Battery-powered puck lighting: Incorporate concentrated light where you need it with these compact, adhesive products. Place them on the underside of cabinets to cast light on a kitchen counter or illuminate valuable possessions inside a display case. Pick from manual or remote function.
  • LED strip lights: Looking to set the mood for a certain space? You may use remote-controlled strip lights along the baseboard or in the upper corners of bedroom walls.
  • Clip-on desk and reading lamps: Adjustable, lightweight, and effective, clip-on reading and desk lamps are perfect for your home office or next to your bed. Choose handy rechargeable ones.
  • Plug-in or battery-operated wall sconces: Looking for something more stylish to claim a primary location| on your wall? You can get lightweight wall sconces in any style that affix effortlessly with robust double-sided adhesive tape.

Reflect Daylight With Mirrors

If you want to optimize the exterior light flowing through the windows of your roomy apartment in Carmel, you can use mirrors or additional illuminating decor. Position a sizeable, angled mirror in your bedroom or place other mirrors across from windows. Peel-and-stick mirror tiles are great for dim hallways. Offered in a wide range of styles and sizes, mirrors can blend with any style of decor. 

Select Brightness-Enhancing Decor

What you choose for decor will also impact how bright and cheerful a room feels. Metal pieces and wall art reflect outdoor light comparable to mirrors. Even a shimmering serving tray on a tabletop can send light around the room. Lucite or glass furniture permits light to shine through and offers a fashionable touch. You may also brighten an area with light-colored floor coverings and textiles. 

If you use thicker curtains, try switching them out with light, sheer materials. Tension bars are fantastic for an easy, no-damage installation. You may also find light-managing cellular shades that affix to walls without drilling.
