What Lighting Brings Your Summer Home Makeover to Life — And What to Buy Now

What Lighting Brings Your Summer Home Makeover to Life — And What to Buy Now

If you’re refreshing your home this summer — a coat of paint here, new furniture there — there’s one upgrade that transforms the space faster than any other: lighting.

The right lighting does more than make your décor look better. It makes your entire home feel better.

And with longer days, lighter evenings, and summer entertaining ahead, now is the moment to upgrade your lighting and bring your home makeover to life.

Who Should Be Updating Their Lighting Right Now?

• Homeowners mid-makeover: You've changed the furniture, maybe the layout — now finish the look with lighting that ties it all together.
• Renters refreshing on a budget: Lighting is the easiest way to elevate a room without paint or drilling.
• Stylish hosts: Planning summer dinners or garden drinks? Lighting sets the tone indoors and out.
• Anyone with outdated fittings: If your fixtures are still chrome from 2008, it’s time. And no, changing the bulb won’t fix it.

How to Choose and Buy with Confidence

• Start with one room: You don’t have to do everything at once. Begin with your most-used space.
• Match the product to the vibe: Warm white for relaxation, neutral white for kitchens and bathrooms.
• Upgrade your core fittings: A new ceiling light makes more impact than new scatter cushions — and lasts much longer.
• Think layers: Combine ceiling, wall, and floor lighting for a space that feels designed.
