Excellent point.  Are those IKEA lamps on the bedside tables?  I just Staged an oversized bedroom in a Basement. The overhead lighting was sufficient, but a table lamp next to the bed and a floor lamp across the room made the whole room glow.

Do you put your lamps on timers or do you leave them on 24/7?  (referring to a vacant property)

Gina- Good to hear from you again!  You are right - great photo.  I don't see too many of those, do you?

Gina... that's avery nice pic.. thanks for the pointers..

Up lights in corners especially behind a plant are mood setters.  I like the low to the floor ones that don't stick up at all.  The problem is for showings unless the homeowners turn on all the lights before leaving (my best advice) the Realtors don't go around turning on lights as they- 1.show up with the client   2. don't know where they are   3. could care less

Ikea rocks! 

Angel, all of these lights look like Ikea- so does the furniture actually.  I didn't stage this, I found this picture on the MLS and was struck by how great the lighting looks.   Timers are a great idea because then Agents don't have to search for the switches- which they often don't as Kathleen points out.

Kimberly, I agree!  All the pictures from this listing were nice.  I'm going to write the Agent and tell them so- good lead in to introduce myself!

Kaye, this picture is from 957 7th St. in HB, it looks like a great house. 

I agree with you about lighting. I went back to take after pics of a home I staged and the realtor had all the lights on and it made such a difference!! Great work as always

Looking at this pic a second time I staged a bedroom that was almost identical except for the lighting. I did not notice it before. GREAT JOB, ha, ha!!
