You settled into the best apartment in a terrific Carmel community but noticed the lighting leaves a bit to be desired. How can you enhance it without permanently modifying your space? You don’t need to be an electrical technician to shed more light on your situation. Rather than major wiring jobs, illuminate your living space with the following apartment lighting ideas.

Choose From A Variety Of Portable Lighting Solutions

Installing a portable light is one of the simplest solutions for a dim room. You can integrate lamps where you need them, but there are additional solutions you may find more appealing. Consider one of these possibilities that provide the extra light you desire without permanently changing your apartment:

  • Battery-operated puck lights: Incorporate focused light where you want it with these compact, adhesive products. Position them under cabinets to shine light on a countertop or highlight prized belongings inside a display case. Pick from remote or push-on function.
  • LED strip lighting: Would you like to establish the right ambiance for a certain area? You may consider remote-controlled strip lights behind furnishings or near the top of bedroom walls.
  • Clip-on desk and reading lamps: Small, maneuverable, and effective, clip-on desk and reading lamps are excellent for your workspace or by your bedside. Choose practical rechargeable ones.
  • Plug-in or battery-operated wall sconces: Looking for a more attractive option to claim a primary spot| on your wall? You can buy easy-to-remove wall sconces in various designs that easily attach with strong double-sided adhesive tape.

Reflect Natural Light With Mirrors

If you wish to maximize the exterior light entering through the windows of your roomy apartment in Carmel, you can use mirrors or alternative illuminating decor. Position a sizeable, floor mirror in your personal space or situate smaller mirrors across from windows. Peel-and-stick mirror tiles can help in dark hallways. Offered in various sizes and styles, mirrors are perfect for maximizing light and fitting with your unique design preferences. 

Choose Brightness-Enhancing Decor

What you pick for decor will also affect how cheery and bright an area feels. Metallic pieces and wall art reflect daylight in a similar way as mirrors. Even a mirrored serving tray on a countertop can send light up. Glass or lucite furniture allows light to pass through and imparts an elegant touch. You can also brighten a space with lighter-colored rugs and textiles. 

If you own denser curtains, switch them out with light, sheer options. Tension bars are terrific for a simple, no-damage installation. You may also come across light-controlling cellular shades that affix without drilling into the walls.
