When selling your home, the importance of good lighting should not be overlooked. Applying good lighting can drastically improve the perceived quality and aesthetic of your home, allowing your property to stand out from the competition and ultimately result in a better sale. Here are several tips on how to take advantage of good lighting when selling your home.
1. Eliminate any existing lighting issues in your home
Perform an audit of all the light fixtures, outlets, and light switches in your home. Check for any flickering lights or dim bulbs. If your light fixtures are outdated, replace them with more modern, efficient options. Make sure that the wattage of the bulbs you use is high enough to provide ample lighting levels.
2. Add accent lighting where appropriate
Accent lighting is great for highlighting particular features of your home like artwork, photographs, and home décor. The goal is to draw watchers’ attention to these features and make the room appear larger. For example, wall sconces, track lighting, and adjustable recessed lights can all add to the ambiance of a room.
3. Strategically deploy various types of natural lighting
If you have large windows or skylights, place a few chairs or tables near the window to emphasize the view and the amount of natural light. You can also hang mirrors facing the windows to reflect more light into the room, providing a brighter and more vibrant atmosphere.
4. Try some experimentation with unique lighting options
Uplighting fixtures and multi-colored LED lights that can be installed in various areas of your home can be used to create a more captivating environment likely to attract buyers.
When selling your home, good lighting is essential to maximize your sale potential. Follow the tips outlined above and you will ensure your home looks its best to potential buyers and maximizes your overall sale.
