Answer
Lighting transforms an older house by creating warmth and enhancing its architectural features. Using layered lighting with warm-toned bulbs around 2700 Kelvin adds a cozy glow to wood trim and rich walls. Installing statement fixtures like brass lanterns creates focus points, updating the space instantly. Good lighting also improves ambiance, making spaces feel inviting and highlighting craftsmanship without a full remodel.
