When
selling a home lighting is everything! When I was out showing
property with buyers the other day, we couldn't help but notice how
poorly lit some of the homes were. Even homes with the blinds or
drapes opened still appeared dark and unwelcoming. This is why I
strongly encourage my sellers to have their home properly lit.
Simple things like opening the drapes and blinds are a good start,
but other lighting is essential. Lamps, over head lighting and
accent lighting are key. If a room is too dark, a simple $12 floor
can light placed behind a plant or sofa against a wall can add
accent and drama. Art work with it's own overhead lighting can add
style and light to a room. Lastly, if you don't want to use
electric lighting, candles can add light and mood to any room in
the house. It's amazing what a simple thing like lighting can do to
transform a room and make a home more marketable. So, open up those
blinds & drapes, turn on those lamps and light up those
candles!
