You may be aware of the difficult housing market if you are attempting to sell a home. There are some simple tips to assist in closing that deal, that would not cost too much.
If, in any room, the over head central ceiling light is discolored or cracked, replace it. Good looking ceiling flush mount and semi-flush mount fixtures need not be expensive. They are easy to replace and will definitely improve the appearance of the bedroom, hallway, foyer or living room. If the central fixture is in good condition, but is full of bugs or cobwebs, cleaning the glass shade and making sure the highest recommended wattage bulbs are in place.
All the best lighting in a house will not be effective if the walls are paneled with dark wood or painted a dark color. You may like the den-like environment and the coziness of dark paneling, but understand that the effect of this darkness will make rooms look much smaller than they are and have a depressing, negative effect on the buyer. Covering those dark walls with a sconce of a neutral color like off white or light beige, will increase the effectiveness of lighting and make the room appear larger. It will also give leverage to the effect of your lighting! (article taken from ezinearticles)
