Last week I was at a client's house to give a consultation. They were getting ready to sell. The house was in nice shape and I could see right away the pride of ownership.
After my initial walk through I had an average size 'To Do' List for these vendors - minor repairs and some sprucing up. One thing topped the list: LIGHTING.
Several rooms were really dim.They had shadows, seemed smaller and had an overall gloomy feel. The vendors had been living in these dimly lit rooms for so long they didn't notice anymore. Their furniture was stylish and accessories were contemporary but the poor lighting affected the whole ambiance of the house.
Look at your lighting from a visitor's perspective. Remember to make the most of natural light then add accent lighting and task lighting.Update light fixtures and lamps.
Proper lighting is an economical way to improve the look and feel of your home when getting ready to sell.You can make a hohum regular room seem spectacular for a relatively low investment.
