When you light the apartment you rent, you have to deal with certain important constraints, such as not being able to do work or small holes. Fortunately, there are many options for models and types of lamps allowing you to create the lighting ambiance you dream of, in the space you rent. Here we present ideas and tips that will help you decorate and light the apartment you rent.
Create the ambiance you dream of with table lamps
Since spotlights and wall lights should be avoided by tenants, table lamps are the perfect solution for creating the visual ambiance and decor of your dreams, without having to make a single hole. With lighting manufacturers multiplying and competing in inventiveness to offer increasingly varied models, there are designer table lamps in a multitude of materials and colors, and various shapes, which will match perfectly with the decoration that you want to create. You can place them on your shelves and consoles, or at the ends of your sofas, playing with heights and shapes. Thus, these lamps constitute both decorative objects and considerable contributions to your ambient lighting.

Whether they are LED lamps or models with lampshades, these lights offer ambient lighting which will improve the visual comfort of all the rooms in your apartment while decorating them. For example, they will allow you to create lighting in warm tones in your living room, and create a very cozy atmosphere for entertaining or relaxing.
Likewise, they will allow you to create soft lighting in your bedroom, so as not to be dazzled when you wake up. They can just as easily allow you to better illuminate your kitchen or bathroom with white light. As you will have understood, these lighting fixtures will allow you to perfect the decoration and lighting ambiance of your entire apartment.
Light up and decorate your reading corner with a designer desk lamp
Where the table lamp provides ambient lighting, you will need a little more intense light for activities like reading. Furthermore, creating a reading corner is an easy thing that requires very little, and which constitutes both a decorative and functional touch in your apartment. All you need is a comfortable sofa, a side table and a suitable lamp. Just look for desk lamps . The latter have the advantage of being much more functional than bedside lamps, in particular by being adjustable. In addition, given that they are also seen as a decorative object today, their models are increasingly varied and sought after. For more comfort, favor warm light and indirect lighting associated with the ambient lighting of the room: for example, you can direct your desk lamp towards a light wall which will reflect the light on your reading corner.
Bedside lamps➞
Note that the decorative uses of desk lamps don't stop there. In fact, you can just as easily use it to complete the decoration of your work space while providing the necessary additional lighting from a purely functional point of view.
Furthermore, you should not hesitate to multiply the sources of light and not be satisfied with a single lamp, in order to avoid visual fatigue. Always for the sake of visual comfort, choose rather warm natural light in order to properly illuminate your work surface .
Use the designer floor lamp as main lighting
Since pendant lights, chandeliers and other ceiling lights should be avoided when you are a tenant, you need an alternative main lighting solution. In this sense, designer floor lamps are the ideal choice. Offering intense lighting while constituting large-scale decorative pieces, they will quickly become the keystone of your living room lighting. Indoor floor lamp models continue to vary and diversify, offering almost unlimited decoration possibilities . For example, you can obtain very good brightness with indirect lighting using two “projector” type floor lamps oriented towards your ceiling. Likewise, you can highlight a certain part of your living space with an offset model, which will provide direct lighting to this space.
Ceiling lights➞
In short, lighting your apartment without a ceiling light is entirely possible. This will generally involve knowing how to multiply light sources , playing with direct and indirect lighting as needed, and choosing the right tones of light using the right bulbs .
The designer floor lamp can provide main lighting that rivals the pendants and chandeliers, while the desk lamp and the table lamp will provide the touches and nuances necessary for good ambient lighting in all the rooms of your apartment. Furthermore, not content with being highly functional, the designer lamp remains a very elegant object which allows you to create the decoration of your dreams.
