LIGHT: THE MORE THE B RE THE BETTER
Whether natural or artificial, bringing in light is one of the most effective ways to show off your house. Using light to enhance appeal can makes difference. Harsh light is unflattering, even to the best furnishings and features. Dim lighting gives everything in the house a dingy feel. Assessing the lighting in each area of your house will give you a quick idea where to bring in more light. Rooms with abundant windows greatly benefit from natural light, as your house will most likely be seen during the day. Supplemental light is necessary for rooms with smaller windows or little natural light coming in. Increase the wattage of light bulbs in your lamps to improve artificial light. As a rule of thumb, there should be 100 watts for each 50 square feet of space. There are three kinds of lighting. General lighting or overhead is typically ambient. The pendant light is good for tasks like food preparation or reading. Accent lights are usually on tables or mounted on walls. You can use all three to bring out the best your house has to offer. Lights not only cast light but make shadows as well. Negative light is valuable is setting mood.
