To compensate, I assume, for strict rental apartment regulations, Laura Cattano, who recently gave Apartment Therapy a tour of her Brooklyn one bedroom, discreetly ran a wire from an outlet and then hung her lantern from a hook on the ceiling. It's this kind of rare creative thinking that's crucial in transforming a rental into a home. But, I suppose it's to be expected from Laura, who is a professional organizer.

I love those lights! They are so soft and sexy and I love them!
1I did this, too! I strung three oblong paper lanterns this way, in a cluster over my bed. I loaded them with 25 watt bulbs, and plugged them all into one dimmer, which I discretely mounted on the back of my headboard - voila! - instant mood lighting.
2Thanks for sharing this idea! I'm going to have to borrow this one. Cannot stand poor lighting.
3such a great idea!
i live in a rental so this is perfect for some cool lighting!!!!!!!

4I used this trick in my college dorm. Ikea lantern and cordkit! It probably came to about $15

6I've got a few of those...they're hard to dust though.
