"Renting isn't easy for design lovers because you're painfully limited in what you can creatively do to your space to really make it your own. If your ceilings and walls aren't already hardwired, you're out of luck ... and light."
"There's something undeniably elevated about having soft light on your walls as the sun sets. Most renters sadly aren't able to enjoy that evening glow because the majority of apartments have ceiling high hats - not on dimmers, mind you."
Many renters encounter lighting issues in their living spaces, particularly if there are no hardwired fixtures present. This can lead to dark living rooms that require creative solutions like the addition of lamps. Designer Galey Alix notes that the inability to customize lighting in rentals curtails a renter's ability to elevate their décor. Layered lighting, like soft wall illuminations at sunset, enhances ambiance, yet is often unavailable to renters due to common ceiling installations that lack dimming features.
