If you wanted to transform the look of a room in one swift move, you might spruce up your walls, add a statement sofa or rug, or simply bring in more lighting.
Indeed, whether you need to brighten a dark room or create a new vibe for your space, there’s a range of lighting products that can do the trick with minimal installation required.
Below, we share a few easy-to-work-with lighting types to consider: Table lamps, which can help diffuse light and are often decorative in their own right; swing-arm floor lamps that let you adjust the angle of the light, perhaps to focus on a specific piece of furniture; desk lights that offer really bright, concentrated light; rope lights, which can be taped to easily add some sparkle to your space; and smart lights, which are often dimmable, multi-hued, and controllable by app or voice. Have a look!
