This One Lighting Trick Will Transform the Look and Feel of Your Home

And save you some money too!

When we want to elevate our spaces, we often turn to solutions such as hanging new art on our walls, switching up the cushions on our couches, or even purchasing a new plant to add to our growing indoor jungle. But if you're looking for a cost-effective way to spruce up your space, the solution might be as simple as turning off your overhead lighting and letting your lamps do the work.

According to Melbourne-based creative duo Josh and Matt, lighting can play a key role in both the form and function of your home. "Not only can lighting bring a little more edge to the home, it’s also an important way to improve mood and reduce stress when used correctly," they told Bed Threads Journal in their home tour for The Makers. "Overhead lighting, the big light and high Kelvin lighting temperatures are great for moments of productivity but not so much for unwinding and enjoying your home."

When we think of lamps, our minds often picture the ones we keep on our bedside tables, but not all areas of our homes have enough room to accommodate them on a surface. We turned to one of our favourite places for inspiration, TikTok, to find different ways we can illuminate our spaces that don’t involve using the overhead lighting in our homes.
