Bright Rooms at Night, Renters Delight: beautiful lighting solutions for renters!
Blog post by Tuck team member – Alex Moore:
Decorating our homes is a great way to express creativity and feel good in your space, but when it comes to renting we can’t always decorate the way we want. Depending on your space (or landlord) you are probably stuck with the colour of your walls and flooring. This can really affect the way you feel in your space.
With this limitation, lighting your space proves to be even more difficult. Your rental is usually equipped with department store lighting fixtures that were probably bought in bulk, and aren’t necessarily the most attractive lighting choice.
Luckily, we have a few solutions for this. TUCK carries a number of lights can be utilized to their full potential in a rental space. These lights can be used with plug in cord kits to make a stylish combination that is rental-friendly. The cord kits can be plugged directly into your walls, opening the doors to other placement opportunities in your space.
Plog-it Cord Kits ($41)
Our Plog-It Cord kits are available in many colours and patterns, making them a fun and colourful lighting solution, no installation required. Simply plug them in, and voila!
We have a different bulbs that you can use in these cord kits, which give these cord kits an industrial feeling. But that’s just for starters! These bulbs can be used in any light, whether it be a table lamp, floor lamp, or pendant lamp.
