Ways To Quickly Brighten Rooms Ready for Photos

Now that the lighter days and evenings are approaching, making the most of the natural light available is a great way to improve the first impressions of your home.


Let in Natural Light

From the obvious, clean your windows, to the less thought of tips like pruning trees near your home, making sure they don’t block the natural light. There are plenty of quick to achieve ways of bringing the light back into your home. Don’t stop at the trees and shrubs, paths and driveways, make sure these are free from moss and algae help with definition and a clean look.

Get Your Home Looking Its Best

Especially when photographing your house for sale, lighting and bright spaces are important to show off your home to its best.
Living spaces can be cluttered by virtue, but clearing surfaces and adding light coloured accessories is a good place to start. From fresh white towels in the bathroom, to a spray of white flowers and light coloured throws over dark sofas. Using white accessories will add up to improving the overall look of your home.


Think Lighting

A sparkly chandelier can do wonders to brighten key rooms, or more economical round white paper lantern shades on ceiling lighting add a modern clean fresh look, bathed in soft light.
Light coloured, or even strong coloured rugs can quickly help with problem areas in rooms with dark flooring.
Being mindful of the additional lighting around your home, white shades, over coloured glass or fabric will let more of the white diffused light we are after, into your room. Reflecting spotlights off the lighter coloured walls of your rooms will help illuminate the interior space better than directly pointing them at the space.


Show Off The Rooms to Their Maximum Potential

Avoid thick heavy or dark curtains and instead choose light coloured translucent drapes that will help the brightness of the windows flow into the rooms themselves. A quick coat of matt white on the ceilings will pay dividends, and pound for pound is a very good value way to brighten your home and make it look fresh. A few mirrors in key spaces will reflect light and space, giving rooms a more spacious feel.

Updating light bulbs in existing fittings can be a low cost way to increase brightness, modern lamps are available in different colour spectrums, leaning towards a daylight type bulb, instead of warm white can help immensely in defining a light bright space.
