Yes, renters can achieve 2026 living room lighting styles without rewiring by using plug-in fixtures like arc lamps and clip-on picture lights combined with smart plugs. Metallic finishes in lamps or chandeliers add a custom, sculptural feel without hardwiring. Layer lighting using floor lamps, table lamps, and wall sconces that don’t require permanent installation. Choose warm, dimmable bulbs, and use smart dimmers or plugs to control lighting levels. This approach brings the layered, bold metallic trend to any rental while preserving the space’s integrity.
