When moving into a new rental property, certain rooms can quite quickly be made over to suit your personal style; other spaces, however, may require a bit more work. At the most extreme end of this spectrum is the kitchen. With all the pre-existing built-ins, dated tiles, and less-than-desirable finishes, it can be tempting to throw the towel in before even attempting to fix it up.
However, these rental-friendly kitchen lighting ideas prove that it's always possible to bring your own touch to a space. "Lighting has the power to completely transform a kitchen, but in a rental, making permanent changes isn’t always an option," explains interior designer Nina Lichenstein. "The good news? There are plenty of stylish, removable, and temporary lighting solutions that can enhance both ambiance and functionality, no hardwiring required."
