Lighting has a profound effect on how buyers perceive a property. Proper lighting highlights architectural features, creates mood and influences how big or small a room feels. Here’s how lighting affects home value and what you can do to optimize it.
Natural Light as a Selling Point
Schedule photo shoots when sunlight fills the rooms, keep windows clean and curtains open, and use mirrors to reflect light deeper into spaces.
Layered Lighting for Ambience
Combine ambient, task and accent lighting to add warmth and depth, highlight features and eliminate dark corners.
Energy Efficiency & Modern Fixtures
Updated fixtures and LED bulbs reduce energy costs, provide a modern aesthetic and render colors accurately, boosting perceived value.
Investing in proper lighting and capturing it through professional photography can significantly influence buyer perception and sale price.
