You will want to consider what activities will be done in the space, how much light will be needed, and the overall vibe you want to create.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Function:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Consider what you will be using the space for and how much light you will need. If you&#8217;re mostly using the space for relaxing or watching TV, you&#8217;ll want softer, more diffused lighting. If you&#8217;re using the space for cooking or working, you&#8217;ll want brighter, more focused lighting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Style: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your lighting should complement the overall style of your apartment. If your apartment has a modern style, you&#8217;ll want to choose sleek, minimalist lighting fixtures. If your apartment has a more traditional style, you may want to choose more ornate pieces.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Size:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One of the most important things to consider when determining how to light your apartment is the size of the room. You need to ensure that the light fixtures you choose will not overwhelm the space. If you have a small room, you may want to consider using table lamps or wall sconces instead of chandeliers or track lighting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Atmosphere:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Another thing to keep in mind is the type of atmosphere you want to create in your apartment. If you want a more relaxed and romantic vibe, you may want to use softer, more subdued lighting. However, if you want a more energetic and vibrant space, opt for brighter, more intense lighting.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Apartment lighting idea from a pro:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cJust because you rent or are not planning on staying in a home or apartment long term doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t benefit from investing in quality light fixtures,\u201d says\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/looplighting.nyc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LOOP Lighting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cRemoving and replacing basic light fixtures that came installed in your space with new fixtures that better suit your style and lighting preferences can be a great way to improve your lighting environment over the long term. Most light fixtures can be easily removed and replaced on your own with basic DIY tools. So, when it comes time to move, you can just reinstall the old fixture and bring your nice one to your next home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What type of bulbs should I use?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many types of light bulbs available on the market. The type of light bulb you should use will depend on the style of your lamp, which room in your home you\u2019ll be using it in, and which color tone you\u2019re going for.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>LED bulbs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are popular because they last longer and use less energy than traditional incandescent light bulbs. If you\u2019re looking for a light bulb that is environmentally friendly and will save you money in the long run, then an LED light bulb is a great choice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>CFL bulbs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of bulb is<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quite energy-efficient, using about 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. They also last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Halogen bulbs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are a type of incandescent bulb that uses less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. They last about twice as long as incandescent bulbs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Incandescent bulbs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A traditional bulb, incandescent bulbs are a type of lighting that uses a filament to produce light. Incandescent bulbs are being replaced by more energy-efficient bulbs that last longer, like LED bulbs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dimmable lighting: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of bulb can be adjusted to create different levels of light. This can be done by using a dimmer switch or by using an app on your phone. Dimming your lights can create a more relaxing and inviting atmosphere in your home and help save on your energy bill.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warm lighting vs. cool lighting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lighting in your apartment can have a major impact on the overall atmosphere. Warm lighting has a yellow or red hue, while cool lighting has a blue or white hue. Warm lighting is achieved by using a lower color temperature light source, such as an incandescent bulb. If you\u2019re trying to create a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-cozy-apartment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cozy apartment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> atmosphere, opt for warm lighting. If you\u2019re looking to create a more modern and sleek look, try cool lighting instead by opting for blue or white bulbs or a cool-toned light fixture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Apartment lighting idea from a pro: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTo create the best atmosphere in your home, start by switching out your light bulbs to dimmable LED bulbs in a soft white color. I recommend brands like Cree and Philips, and their Warm Glow line in particular,\u201d shares <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.focuslighting.com\/3hip2heqo4i1qpl06vf31009smg39c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focus Lighting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cOnce you have the new bulbs in place, add dimmers to as many lamps and fixtures as possible. If you&#8217;re comfortable with a little do-it-yourself work, you can install plug-in or wall-box dimmers yourself. Or, for a truly seamless experience, go for wifi-enabled smart dimmers. Whichever route you choose, remember that a good light bulb that dims well is key to creating the perfect ambiance in your home.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-78659\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-Walnut-St-3.jpg\" alt=\"apartment lighting fixtures \" width=\"956\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-Walnut-St-3.jpg 956w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-Walnut-St-3-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-Walnut-St-3-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-Walnut-St-3-210x150.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-Walnut-St-3-882x630.jpg 882w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-Walnut-St-3-420x300.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of lighting to consider\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ambient lighting: layer light sources to achieve the perfect balance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ambient light, also known as general lighting, is the kind of light that covers the entire room. There can be many ambient light sources, such as a chandelier or recessed lighting. Ambient light can also come from smaller light sources that contribute to the overall light in the room, like a table lamp or floor lamp. The mood of a room depends greatly on how you organize ambient lighting. Because of this, it is important to get the ambient light in your apartment correct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Apartment lighting idea from a pro:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cWe always recommend recessed lighting to all of our clients. It is the most efficient option for lighting up any space. When recessed lighting cannot be installed for whatever reason, it is time to get creative. Recently, we recommended wall sconces, track lighting installed on the wall, and strip lighting for a client who is unable to cut holes in their ceilings,\u201d shares <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.socalelectric.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Cal Electrical<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to add some extra color to your home, consider using colored light bulbs or even colored LED lights in your ambient light plan. You can find these lights in a variety of colors and sizes to fit your needs. Strip lighting is another versatile and modern lighting solution that can be used to brighten up any room in your apartment. You can use strip lighting to accentuate your decor, create a warm and inviting atmosphere, or simply add some extra light to a room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Apartment lighting idea from a pro: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) LED strips can sync with Alexa or Google Home and can be great for highlighting things like TVs, cabinets, or steps.

To make use of your natural light and make your space feel brighter, use light-colored decor and take advantage of windows. Make sure to keep your windows clean so light can easily enter, and open up your curtains or blinds during the day to let in natural light.
