How to Brighten Up a Room When Trying to Sell a House

Want to sell your home? Before showing it to potential buyers, make sure you’ve optimized your home’s lighting. While often overlooked, a home’s lighting can make a big impact on a buyer’s first impression of a home. And, as anyone who’s sold a home can tell you, first impressions are everything when it comes to getting the right buyer in the door. A home that is well-lit appears warm, inviting and spacious. Listing photos that maximize a home’s natural light and convey a light and bright space are sure to make your listing stand out from the rest. On the other hand, a poorly lit home appears cold, uninviting and small. It’s unlikely that scores of buyers will be enticed inside. Not sure how to brighten up a room? Here are 10 ways to show a home in its best light (literally).
