Selling your home in these trying times can be tough. That’s why doing a little remodeling work to your home for sale can go a long way in pleasing buyers and getting them excited about buying your home. Use this guide to using lighting fixtures to help sell your home and have a better chance at sealing the deal and making the sale.
Service the Needs
The best way to get the most out of your lighting renovation is to define which rooms or spaces need the most lighting and which ones don’t. Since just about every single home showing is done during the middle of the day, rooms that have a good source of natural lighting can be all the room needs to shine. Darker spaces with limited or no access to a natural lighting source needs to be mended with the correct lighting fixture to allow the potential buyer to view the area with a good source of light.
Defining Spaces
Potential home buyers find homes attractive when they have a lived in look, without any personal effects. Removing your personal effects like pictures and portraits is a good home staging strategy, but you certainly don’t want the home to appear empty. By finding a happy medium between your home décor and empty space, you will have a better chance of selling your home. Lighting fixtures can help make your space defined and put a focus on your limited home décor. Accent lights like track lighting or monorail lighting is a great way to accent your home décor and light up hard to reach spaces like hallways and alcoves.
Security Lights
While a guest coming into your home in the daytime isn’t going to see your security lights actually work, they will take notice of your security lights hanging. Spotlights around the driveway and front porch are quickly seen when people pull up. Curb appeal really helps to sell a home and can make the difference between people coming in to view your home and people just driving by. Lamp posts and other ornate outdoor security lights can be just the thing to set off the front of your yard and bring in the curb appeal factor.
Foyer Lighting
Chandeliers and pendant lights are going to be the first thing your potential buyer sees when they enter your home. An opulent and diverse chandelier or set of pendants can really set off a room. Installing a motion activated switch can be an impressive addition that is cheap and easy to install and instantly lures customers in with the bells and whistles. Multiple dimmer switches or a control panel in the foyer shows that your whole lighting system isn’t in the Stone Age. It may be just the cheap technical touch to help you get your home sold.
