Light Your Way to SOLD

We are all influenced by the amount of light in a room, especially on a dreary day.

We feel so much better with lots of natural light flooding in.

Don't ignore the lighting in your house when you put your home on the market.

Open up those window treatments and bring in as much natural light as possible.

Over the years lighting fixtures have become more than useful, they have become fashion statements.

Replacing lighting fixtures immediately updates an area. Whether it is new vanity lighting or a chandelier in an eating area, the buyer feels the home has been kept current when they see modern light fixtures.

In condos, townhouses and semi-detached homes there are fewer windows bringing in natural light. These homes need proper lighting to make them feel light and airy.

Use many types of lighting in your home.

Down lighting can generally light up the room and be put on dimmers for effect. It can accent work areas or art on a wall.

Up lighting can light up a dark corner.

Ambient lighting can add a soft cozy feel where you want to sit and read a book.

Task lighting can improve a computer area or a work area in the kitchen.

Chandeliers of all styles are like jewels in a home. They accent your dining areas, adding drama for entertaining.

In general you are better off not using the eco friendly light bulbs while selling. They can take a while to warm up and get bright. When you are selling, the agents that enter your home will turn on the lights for the buyer. They need an instant lighting of the area, not a dim one that will eventually get brighter.

If you have left that dark paint colour on your walls remember it will absorb light making the room feel even darker. Rooms like that need a lot of lighting to compensate.

Use lighting to your advantage. It's and easy way to update and boost the appeal of your home.
