About this Event

Lighting for all of us!

Seattle’s long, dim winters can turn even the most charming apartment into a dark cave. But lighting doesn’t have to be expensive, complicated, or reserved for design pros. In this approachable, renter-friendly workshop, we’ll untangle the basics so you can make thoughtful, budget-conscious upgrades that transform how your space feels and functions.

We’ll cover:

  • How to choose the right bulb for your fixture (and what to look for when shopping)
  • Where to start when upgrading your lighting without overhauling your whole home
  • How to achieve ambient and task lighting in your space
  • Lighting terminology basics
  • Practical fixes for common lighting problems
  • Smart lighting for renters (and the underrated magic of IKEA)

Whether you’re trying to reduce glare from your desklamp, make your kitchen a place you want to cook in, or just wake up a little more gently, you’ll leave with the know-how to make it happen, no electrician required.
