Apartments For Rent in Michigan

Lighting is one of the most often overlook items when it comes to interior decoration. People tend to forget how huge the impact of the light when it comes to overall ambiance inside their rented space. Without proper lighting, you can’t create the look or the vibe you wanted no matter how many times you re-decorated your apartment.

If you are looking for ways to brighten up your apartment, here are some easy to follow lighting tips that can help.

Use energy efficient bulbs

Changing your light bulbs into an energy efficient one can do a lot of great things in the long run. Although this kind of bulb is a bit costly, it can save you great amount of money over time. Aside from that, you can reduce your carbon footprint making your rented apartment more environment-friendly.

Use light bulbs under 40 watts

You don’t want to use light bulbs that are too bright for your own good. If you are renting an apartment with a minimal space, light bulbs under 40 watts are more than enough to brighten your home.

Use dimmer switches

Dimmer switches are mood switches too when it comes to light. Dimming the light whenever you want to just sit down, relax and unwind with a cup of wine can truly help you set the mood. Dimmer switches are optional but I highly suggest you install one at your home.

Use different light sources

Mixing your light sources at home should be one of your priorities when it comes to interior decoration. Installing an overhead light, track lights, lamps and using candles at some areas can give your rented space a good focal point.

Place mirrors near windows

Mirrors are interior decorators’ best friend. If you have a good sized mirror, strategically place it near a window. This can increase the natural lighting in a room during the day. Aside from brightening up your home, strategically placed mirror can also create an illusion of bigger space.
