Why yes, it is that time of year when lights are all aglow, so let’s chat about how your interior lights can totally transform your space! Different kinds of light bulbs, their brightness, color temperature, and design can determine how a room feels, looks, and even how we interact with it.

Kelvin’s have become the standard for measuring the brightness of lightbulbs and the graphic below gives a great visual for the scale of warm to bright light. When it comes to staging your home for selling or simply highlighting a design element in your home, a brighter bulb can make a huge difference. Here’s a look at how bulbs can be measured.

The before and after photos below are the perfect example of the power of switching to a brighter lightbulb. 3000K-4000K bulbs are the top recommended bulb for staging and design as they invoke refreshing, inviting, and clean emotions. In the photo below the only elements that changed were the lightbulbs and an added light area rug and throw pillows. Not only do the lightbulbs make the room look like it had a fresh coat of brighter paint, but it also appears cleaner, larger, and pleasing to the eye.

In summary, lightbulbs can change the overall appearance and size of a home as well as the emotions experienced in each space. By choosing the right bulb for the overall design of your home or simply staging to sell, you can transform the entire vibe of your home, making it a reflection of your style, needs, and optimal functionality.
