Moving to NYC soon and I’ve always hated how dark my rooms are. Anyone have suggestions for lamps/room set ups to bring more light to the room?

If you have ceiling lights know that you can safely put 150W-equivalent LED bulbs in a fixture rated for 60W bulbs (the LED version only draws 23W).

Works for a floor or table lamp too. The max wattage rating doesn’t care what type of lighting element the bulb uses, just the power draw. You’ll be hard pressed to find a lamp with below a 25W rating. These bulbs are seriously bright. Aim for 5000K color bulbs rather than soft white for a living room or kitchen as they “feel” brighter and closer to daylight

Is it too bright/harsh for a room? Definitely still want a cozy environment!

Look at Designlovesdetail Instagram Page. She decorates houses using light color fixtures and furniture from inexpensive places. She links products daily, from Target, Tj Max, Wayfair and Boutique Rugs etc.

You can play around with the position of lamps and play around with light bulbs.

Anyone buying in Manhattan/Brooklyn and understand the broker game? I have a good real estate agent with a company from Ravies, but it seems other brokers give her the run around. For example there is place I wanted to see and the selling broker (cocoran) told her they are only showing to all cash clients. So I emailed the broker on street easy and went to see the property alone and they didn’t mention any all cash requirement.
