Hey everyone! With the shorter days coming up, I've started looking into grow lights for my plants. However, my partner and I aren't fans of harsh, direct lighting and prefer warm, indirect light. I'm wondering if anyone has found a creative way to incorporate grow lights into their home without making it feel like a greenhouse! Any suggestions on how to feed my plants while keeping the vibe cozy? I appreciate any tips you can share!

I really like the Sansi grow light bulbs that fit into regular fixtures. This way, I can choose lamps that match the decor and use shades to hide the grow light. It keeps the spaces looking nice and they turn off around sunset, so it doesn’t disrupt our evenings.
One option is to keep your grow lights in a separate room. That way you can enjoy your plants without cluttering your main living space. Just be mindful of your pets if you have them! Another idea is to put the lights on a timer so they turn on while you’re at work, allowing you to maximize the natural light during the day.
I use those little clip-on lights and aim them specifically at the plants rather than directly into my living space. It helps to create a mix of warm amber lighting in the room. Check out this setup I have!
I opted for regular desk lamps with Sansi LED grow lights installed in them. They aren't too harsh and blend in with my decor better. Plus, I automated them to turn on in the morning and off by evening, so we can have cozy lighting at night. Planning to add a reading lamp for my bigger plants too!
