Home Staging Mood LightingHome staging mood lighting is one of the options which can really provide an inexpensive and highly effective boost to the appeal of your property, inside and out. Mood lighting is defined as specialized illumination which creates a particular emotion. The effect can be achieved using direct or indirect lighting fixtures and is often enhanced using colored bulbs, dimmers, and even fiber-optic technologies for a wide range of possible effects.
Indoor lighting is rarely viewed as more than a necessity. However, mood lighting can really create a range of emotional tones in your home, which can help to make an
emotional connection
between prospective buyers and your residence. I advise my clients to use dimmers if they are available to spread interior lighting over as many areas as possible. Rather than 1 bright and blinding overhead fixture in a room, it is far more aesthetically pleasing to have multiple sources of direct and indirect illumination all set to brighten their immediate space. I like to use a combination of overhead, upwards and indirect lighting at furniture height and at eye height to really enact a textured look and feel in almost any room. Using quality pure white light bulbs will also really make a big difference in the room’s color palate.
Exterior lighting is always important for both safety and environmental functionality, especially at night. Mood lighting can be added to provide increased
curb appeal,
in the form of colored spot lights on the front of your home and on select
landscaping
features. However, mood lighting is especially advised for the
back yard,
where it can really liven up entertaining spaces, such as pools,
decks
and
patios.
Colored lighting, fiber-optic lighting and even rope lighting can all add a festive and exciting element to an outdoor space, be it for a party or just a nice family gathering. For large yards, make sure to provide adequate illumination away from the house as well, to detail the yard and highlight the size and scope of the property.
Home Staging Mood Lighting AdviceMood lighting is just what the name implies… It creates a mood. Obviously, when done poorly or kitschy, the mood created in potential buyers will not be positive, so the effect will be wasted… However, when mood lighting is performed with an expert touch, the effect can be magical. Lighting can truly create an emotional tone within a home, soothing a buyer and making them more inclined to desire the space for their own. Neglecting lighting when staging a home is disastrous, since buyers notice every small detail subconsciously, even if the lack of adequate lighting does not register consciously…To learn more about setting a PROFITABLE mood for the sale of your home, contact a home stager or expert real estate staging consultant today.
