Lamps - An Important Aspect of Home Staging

Lamp, lamps and more lamps ! This is one of the many accessories that professional home stagers never seem to have enough of. Most of the homes that we provide professional staging for seem to be lacking in lamps and general lighting.. Proper lighting is one of the most important aspects of a home particularly when preparing the home for sale..

Buyers are looking for the right home with the right details.. They also should feel that emotional attachment when they enter the home.. Lighting often plays a big part in that... Be sure to provide intimate lamps, ambient lighting, task lighting and general lighting to highlight all the important features in a home..

Lamps are just one piece of the lighting puzzle. They can be used to cast a golden glow which creates that cozy atmosphere.. A beautiful lamp can be a focal point in an entry way.. Also, lamps can be the artistic accessory in the room.. What a huge variety of lamps that we have to choose from - they come in all shapes and sizes... Be sure that you have enough lighting for your home staging project..

Kirkland's sent out an email today about their Lamp Sale from June 5th till June 11. 25% Off A select group of lamps.. They also included a $5.00 off coupon for a $25 purchase.. I am not sure if this was just for the email list...

Let's see some of YOUR favorite lamps !!!

Kathy, Thanks for your comments, it's amazing the power of a little lamp ;-)

Julia, Yep - it is something when you can hardly see to stage the home for the lack of lighting... Thanks for coming by..

Oh, lamps! Trickier than most people realize. They make SUCH a difference, sometimes good and sometimes bad when the scale or style is wrong. But when you have the RIGHT one they are so beautiful!

lamp I love this little lamp. It is tall,

but doesn't take up a lot of

room. Looks great on a desk

or bedside too.

Cheryl, I wish I had some pictures to share with you--there are so many choices of lighting and I love many of them--including the one that you and Elaine used!

Yes, good lighting is very important and it sounds like lamps are underrated.

Yes I posted the picture once before in a blog post. I was taking shots of my inventory and just loved the 3 pieces together so much I had to take an 'artistic' shot of them. I use that shot just about everywhere now!

I am always running out of lamps! Great post, it's so true. Lamps are essential accessories and I always seem to have a shortage. Taking advantage of lamp sales in a really good idea.

No secret...I got it from a friend who was going to sell it at a yard sale. Sorry, don't know where it came from.
