Bright, natural light combined with soft, warm artificial lighting works best when staging a house to sell. Open curtains and blinds to maximize sunlight, then add lamps with warm LED bulbs to brighten darker corners. Avoid harsh fluorescent lights or bulbs that cast cold, blue light. Layered lighting creates inviting spaces on photos and in person. Using thrift store lamps or swapping outdated fixtures can be inexpensive ways to boost interior lighting appeal and show the home’s features clearly.
