Lighting that helps sell your home

Good lighting makes rooms feel bigger, cleaner, and more welcoming. Buyers notice this at once. Small changes can lift photos and open homes.

Three simple rules

• Be bright enough: Aim for even light with no dark corners.

• Pick the right colour: Warm white around 2700 to 3000K feels calm for living rooms and bedrooms. Neutral white around 3500 to 4000K suits kitchens and bathrooms.

• Stay consistent: Keep the same colour across open areas. Mix and match can look messy in photos.

Room by room tips

• Entry: A bright, glare free light sets a positive first step.

• Living: Add dimmers for evening mood. Use two or more light sources.

• Kitchen: Good task light over benches. Avoid shadows where you prep food.

• Bathroom: Vanity lights at face level reduce harsh shadows.

• Bedrooms: Warm, soft light with bedside options.

• Outside: Path and porch lights boost safety and curb appeal.

Why it pays
Better light helps photos pop, brings more clicks, and keeps buyers on the listing longer. At open homes, it helps buyers feel relaxed and ready to offer.
