natural light coming in. Increasing the wattage of light in your lamps to improve artificial light. As a rule of thumb, there should be 100 watts for each 50 square feet of space. Keep in mind that there are three kinds of lighting. General lighting or overhead is typically ambient. The pendant light is for task as in under-cabinet or reading. Accent lights are usually on tables or mounted on walls. You can use all three to bring out the best your home as to offer. Key areas, such as foyers or entryways can set the stage by impressing buyers with a dramatic light source. If you do not have an abundance of natural light coming in, a chandelier- type light works if your ceilings are high. Otherwise wall sconces are impressive in smaller spaces. Don't assume you need to buy new fixtures if you can update your existing ones. The aim is to make sure each area of your home is effectively lit. Kitchen and bathrooms are pivotal rooms to any home seller. These two areas can make or break a sale. The combination of ambient, natural, and pendant light can bring out the best in your kitchen space. Mounting track lighting underneath cabinets gives the counters a chance to shine aesthetically and functionally. Make sure the light over the sink area is sufficient and working properly. If you have a hood over the stove, install clear bulbs to ensure the brightest light. Lighting in the bathroom needs to be intense without harshness. Soft lighting enhances any part of the house you want to highlight.
