Lighting

Make sure you have adequate lighting in every room, use subtle mood lighting to create the right atmosphere in each room and check all your bulbs work.

This tip fits right in with our last one, it just takes it a step further. Lighting can help you define and make areas of your home feel more relaxed.

The very simple rule to play with lighting is to firstly thing of the type of lighting to use, the lighting must fit with the area its for. For example putting down lighters in the kitchen or under counter lighting fits well, or nice wall lighting in the hall. The next thing to remember is the type of light produced, try to think of your house as a home. Don't make the living room too bright, think how you would like. Well on most cases, if you like sitting in the dark, its a safe bet that others wont.

So whilst in everyday life you can do what you want, if you want to sell you house make sure its light and a nice place to be, and all lights serve a useful purpose.
