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.
