Sally Weatherley, home stager extraordinaire in Vancouver, has inspired me to write about the chandliers and light fixtures that I replace when I am home staging in Vaughan. Most of these chandeliers and light fixtures were purchased 20 -25 years ago and were the height of fashion and very on trend at the time.
Lighting is like jewellery in a home. It is what gets noticed by buyers when they approach your front door, entering the foyer and in each room they travel through. When you are selling your home, it is now a product for sale so it is a good idea to put your best "jewellery" on display. And that means replacing light fixtures like these.....
With current lighting such as these...
Simple and elegant, not too much show. Just enough to bring interest to the room and give light to the space. This light was a three tier chandlier for only $499 from Home Depot. Most three tier lights I sourced started at $800 and up so this one was a great find.
When there are several light fixtures in a row, try to keep the shades very simple. These lights had a very simple crystal at the end of the installation post to give a little bling to the light.
Remember these strip lights? You felt like you were being interogated! Honest, I didn't do it!
All I did was change the look and feel of the home to appeal to buyers looking to just "move right in".
Investment, minimal.
Impact, priceless.
