My sister swore a $12 thrift store lamp would fix my dark rental corner, and I can't decide if she was right
She dropped it off at my place in Dayton back in April and said warm light beats any big purchase, which sounded like cheap advice at the time. Six months later the corner by my reading chair feels like a different room, but I also spent 3 evenings fighting with a crooked shade and a bulb that was way too bright at first. So here's the debate: is one warm lamp the real secret to a cozy room, or is it just the easy fix nobody wants to admit works? Curious what you'd argue, especially if you've had a cheap fix flop on you.
