How To Choose An Indoor Lighthouse Without Alarming The Cat
A practical field guide for apartment beacons, hallway beams, and domestic warning etiquette.
Start with the coastline you actually have
Most homes do not include cliffs, but many include chair legs, abandoned shoes, and one corner nobody trusts. Choose a beam that warns people about those hazards without implying you own a pier.
Match beam drama to square footage
A rotating beacon is appropriate for a studio if your guests already know what sort of person you are. Smaller homes can begin with a hallway nightlight and work up to maritime authority after the first complaint.
Leave room for paperwork
Every serious beacon creates documents. Keep a beam permit nearby so visitors understand the light is intentional, not a symptom of appliance distress.
