One key aspect of decorating an apartment that is often overlooked is having proper lighting. A well-lit apartment is not only a nice thing to have, but also important so you’re not straining your eyes to read a book or organize paperwork because the light is too soft.

So, what kind of lighting do you need for your apartment? We’ve put together the following list to help you:

• For the living room, opt for a floor lamp to fill the entire room with light. You could also add table lamps to end tables flanking your couch to add lower-level lighting.

• For your bedroom, consider a small table lamp to illuminate the area around your bed, as well as a floor lamp to create light throughout the bedroom.

• If you have a desk and/or home office, set it near a window if possible so that you can take advantage of as much natural light as possible. Then, invest in a desk lamp to use when you need to brighten your desk area at night.
