Q: The overhead lights in my apartment make everything look grim. I’d love to soften the mood by adding sconces, but I don’t have the budget to hire an electrician—and my landlord wouldn’t be happy about holes in the walls. Am I out of luck?
A: Congrats: Your rental’s lighting may be abysmal, but your instincts are spot-on. To strike a balance between ambience and utility, interior designers often preach the gospel of “layered” illumination—meaning that ideally every room should contain a combination of fill and accent light sources, ranging from ceiling fixtures to table lamps and wall sconces.
