SETTING THE ATMOSPHERE TO SELL
Lighting is an important factor to consider when you are selling your home. The artful combination of natural and artificial lighting in a home’s interior can create an uplifting mood that homebuyers appreciate. Most people agree that dark rooms are depressing, so don’t overlook this significant element.
Before your house is shown, walk through each room with an eye to creating a pleasant ambiance through lighting. Accentuate the natural light by keeping curtains open and windows sparkling clean. Arrange your furniture to take advantage of the best outdoor view. You may want to install indirect lighting to highlight a vaulted ceiling, draw attention to indoor plants or emphasize an alcove where fine art is displayed. Dimmer switches can create simple and inexpensive lighting appeal by softening the atmosphere of a room. Purchase elegant, simple floor and table lamps to brighten up any dark areas in your home. Rooms that are flooded with light will favorably influence a potential buyer.
