Turn glare into a warm glow

Transcript

A rice-paper shade sits over an existing ceiling light and softens it into a warm ambient glow. Do use the renter-friendly, no-tools, no-wiring setup and removable strips, and do not use halogen or incandescent bulbs, which can run too hot and damage the paper; the sources do not mention condensation. If the glare comes through a window, sheer curtains or simple linen shades add a delicate touch, and the room feels softer and more cottagecore.
