Even though I live in a fairly well-light space, there are still corners of my home aching for better lighting in a way that can’t be satisfied with the creepy overheads currently in place. To find creative lighting solutions that aren’t eyesores, I turned to Natalie Rebuck, interior designer and architect at Re:Design Architects in Brooklyn and Southold, New York, for guidance.Whether you live in a basement unit or simply have a particular zone in your home that is begging for more light, you may benefit from the clever and aesthetically pleasing lighting tricks that Rebuck uses when faced with the challenge of brightening a dark space.Keep reading to peruse Rebuck’s go-to items — and a few editors’ picks as well — for adding light to a dark space.WayfairEverly Quinn Javonda wrought iron wallchiereAvailable in three colors, this elegant sconce suggested by interior designer Natalie Rebuck directs light to escape from both the top and the bottom to help diffuse it. It has a unique, modern cone-shaped silhouette with brushed brass details. It's made with corrosion-resistant metal and promises to fill your space with soft, luminous, light.AmazonA disco ballThis mirror ball is the suggestion of my colleague, Kristen Aiken, who is head of HuffPost Life. She said, "I follow someone on Instagram called @sareish who has the most enviable home decor, and she's a master of reflecting little bits of magical light around her home. One of the ways she does it is with disco balls of all different sizes carefully placed around a room — not hung from the ceiling like at a disco, but thoughtfully placed in unexpected places, like in a basket, on a bookshelf, or, in my case, on a windowsill. When the sun hits the disco ball, it refracts light in the happiest little sprinkles around your home and is an instant mood booster. Amazon carries tons of different sizes at affordable price points, and the secret is finding ones with a styrofoam base. They're super lightweight, and you'd never know it from looking at them."ArticleArticle Leap black table lampTable lamps like this Rebuck-approved selection from Article are a must.

Lamps and wall lights with extended arms can also help to focus the light on specific places, which allows you to brighten up more areas and push light further into spaces that need it.According to Rebuck, choosing wall paint with warm undertones or even bright wallpaper can also dramatically change how you experience the light. If you’re looking to stick to a budget, “I recommend painting an accent wall or applying a peel-and-stick wallpaper to add a pop of sunshine to the room,” she said. And of course, “using creatively placed mirrors throughout a room can help to reflect the light and add a sense of depth to the space that will help trick your eye into perceiving more illumination.”
