Upgrading the light fixtures is a quick, affordable way to get your home ready to sell. It is a simple and effective way to add value to a home that attracts buyers. Replacing the outdated chandelier in the dining room with a more modern fixture will immediately improve the appearance of the space, even if the furnishings are dated.
For the fixtures that will remain, make sure they are spotlessly clean, no dust or cobwebs or dead bugs! Carefully remove the glass, soak it in a sink of warm soapy water. You’ll be surprised how much more light there is with the glass cleaned. Double check that all the lightbulbs are working.
The foyer entry light fixture should be fresh and modern. This will set the tone for the rest of the house. Visit your local big-box store for stylish, yet inexpensive new light fixtures.
