""Lighting often is an afterthought, chosen quickly and then forgotten," Diane Henkler with In My Own Style shares. "But lighting is one of those behind-the-scenes design choices that quietly shape how a room feels, functions, and even how welcoming a home is to live in day after day. Make sure the wattages of bulbs are not too dim or bright, as well as the right temperature for the room, cool or warm bulbs."
"Make sure the wattages of bulbs are not too dim or bright, as well as the right temperature for the room, cool or warm bulbs. "Consider adding dimmer switches on all your lights so you can adjust the light for your needs, bright to read in, dimmer when watching TV, or taking a bath. You can find many kinds of dimmers at the home improvement stores, even ones that simply plug into a lamp, no electrician needed," Henkler explains."
Upgrading lighting transforms a room's feel and function; proper bulb wattage and temperature and dimmer switches improve ambiance and usability. Replacing windows and doors with double- or triple-pane units and insulated doors reduces energy bills, stabilizes indoor temperatures, and enhances curb appeal. Installing closet organizers, built-in shelving, and hidden storage improves organization and makes spaces feel larger. Adding smart-home upgrades such as programmable thermostats, connected security, and smart lighting increases convenience, energy efficiency, and market appeal. These targeted, often-overlooked improvements can deliver measurable comfort, utility savings, and greater attractiveness to buyers in markets like San Diego and Arlington.
