Some rentals are gorgeous and really need no updating but I&#8217;d bet the majority need a little TLC and maybe a cosmetic facelift to bring a personal flair to the space. Since most of the rentals we&#8217;ve lived in over the past 15 years have been military housing, they are as bland as can be and need a lot of help. A few weeks ago I shared my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/the-ultimate-guide-to-decorating-a-rental-home\/\">ultimate guide to rental decorating<\/a> and included lots of tips on how to update your rental to make it feel like home. One of the tips I shared was to swap out light fixtures. Updating your rental <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/hallway-lighting-ideas\/\">home light<\/a> fixtures is a small but mighty switch that leaves a big impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me show you the big difference it made in my living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Changing-Out-Lights-in-Rentals-1-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Changing-Out-Lights-in-Rentals-1-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Changing-Out-Lights-in-Rentals-1-2-525x700.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Changing-Out-Lights-in-Rentals-1-2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the before. We have these lights all over the house and there was four downstairs. They are as generic as can be. It&#8217;s hard to love your space when you hate the lighting. I really did love everything else about my living room, as long as I didn&#8217;t look up at the ceiling. A friend of mine who lives down the street had changed out a few of her light fixtures and it inspired me to do the same. Why not invest a few hundred dollars in lighting that I love if it will make me feel better about our space? It&#8217;s not a permanent change so we can take these lights with us when we leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updating your rental home light fixtures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Changing-Out-Lights-in-Rentals-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Changing-Out-Lights-in-Rentals-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Changing-Out-Lights-in-Rentals-2-467x700.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Changing-Out-Lights-in-Rentals-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Changing-Out-Lights-in-Rentals-2-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Changing-Out-Lights-in-Rentals-2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"shopthepost-widget\" data-widget-id=\"4450038\">\r\n                <script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\r\n                    !function(d,s,id){\r\n                        var e, p = \/^http:\/.test(d.location) ?
