One lighting tip that instantly improves any space is to layer your lighting. Instead of relying on a single ceiling light, combine three types: ambient light for overall brightness, task lighting for focused activities like reading or cooking, and accent lighting to highlight walls, art, or décor. This layered approach adds depth, comfort, and visual interest. It also lets you adjust the mood—bright for work, soft for relaxing. When lighting is layered, even simple rooms feel warmer, richer, and more inviting.
