Old light fixtures and grubby light switches instantly give off a neglected, dated feel in a home, so give your house a fresh and more welcoming look by updated the lighting.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Now, there is no need to bankrupt yourself with ultra expensive lights. In some cases it might be as simple as a couple of new lightbulbs in the right colour and a pendant light or two to transform the space. Take a look at these tips to get you started:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Consider warm vs cool white: <\/b>The colour of the lightbulbs can completely transform the look and feel of a space. A \u2018warm white\u2019 will give off a more yellow glow and are better used in rooms that do not require bright light, while \u2018cool white\u2019 bulbs tend to give off a brighter, white light that closer resembles daylight.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Define spaces with lights:<\/b> If you have a big, open-plan room, you could use lights to help define difference spaces. A pendant light can help focus a dining room area and a striking floor lamp can bring a lounge section together.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Think about the purpose of the light: <\/b>Lights have various functions: ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting. Ambient and accent lighting are more optional and can be used to improve the home\u2019s aesthetics, while task lighting has a purpose and needs to be bright enough and placed correctly to ensure that the space is functional.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Enhance your curb appeal and security: <\/b>A buyer\u2019s first impression is made when they see the house from the road. Adding some outdoor lighting can boost the home\u2019s appeal and can also double as a security measure to deter criminals from lurking in dark corners.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
