A TikTok user demonstrated a simple hack to transform harsh overhead lighting into more welcoming ambient light. By utilizing a thrifted lamp shade and inexpensive cable clips, the existing ceiling fixture, often dubbed a 'boob lamp,' can be upgraded. The process involves marking where to position the lampshade and securing it with the clips, making it easy and renter-friendly. This method allows for a customized, stylish touch to any space while also ensuring no damage to the property, as the tiny clips leave little trace.
"Just mark where you want the lamp shade and then hammer in the cable clips to hold up the lamp shade where you marked it," Josie wrote.
"Please know you have CHANGED the game over here ... thank you," one person commented on Josie's post.
To re-create this look - even on slightly bigger boob lights - look for a shade that will not only fit around the entire overhead light..."
...this hack is super renter-friendly, too. Use a bit of putty to fill in the nail holes at the end of your lease...
