The Art of Lighting Design: Ambience & Function in Every Room

Lighting isn’t just functional—it’s one of the most powerful styling tools you have. The right lighting can transform a rental apartment or any space from cold and flat to warm and inviting.

Layer Your Lighting
Don’t rely on a single overhead light. Combine different sources:

• Ambient lighting for overall illumination

• Task lighting for reading or working

• Accent lighting to highlight art and décor

Use Warm Bulbs
Swap harsh white bulbs for warm, soft lighting. It instantly makes a space feel cozier and more welcoming.

Think Beyond the Ceiling
Floor lamps, table lamps, and even fairy lights add dimension and create pockets of mood throughout your home.

Make It Personal
Lighting should suit your lifestyle. Love to read? Add a reading lamp by your sofa. Entertain often? Use dimmers to set the mood.

At Edited Homes, we believe thoughtful lighting is the secret ingredient to styling any space—especially rentals where you can’t always change fixtures.
