As we transition into another season and welcome March, we prepare for mood lighting, cozy corners, and shorter days. Lucky for us, fall in Australia feels like an extension of summer.
If you’re looking to invest in your home and make some cosmetic changes, remember to make a plan for your home lighting installation! Lighting in the home is important because, in addition to adding value, it adds an element or look and feel that makes people feel welcomed. It appeals to the visual sense but also impacts your day-to-day functionality and productivity.
That feeling of home we all have is something that we want our families and friends to feel as soon as they walk in. This also applies to potential home buyers if you happen to be selling! You’d be surprised how a few tweaks here and there can completely transform your space and impact someone’s first impression.
We think that bad lighting is a missed opportunity, so when putting together your plan it’s important that you focus on eliminating harsh/dull lighting, and select illumination sources that elevate your space whilst serving their purpose. This will vary from room to room, as each space has a different purpose.
We are covering 5 simple ways to increase the value of your home- whether that’s to prepare for selling, or simply giving your current space the TLC that it deserves. 
Create curb appeal with outdoor lighting! Think about it, entrance lighting is one of the first things that visitors notice. This combined with landscape lighting will transform the exterior of your home into a beautiful show place! On top of this, it adds an element of security. No one likes the idea of their loved one’s walking up a dark pathway to get to the front door. Light up those hidden corners, walkways, steps, and be proud of your home! Here are some of our favourite outdoor lights that are available on our website!

If you haven’t heard of smart lights before, they are bulbs or light fixtures that are controlled by voice command, or by using an app on your device- whether that’s your phone, iPad, tablet, or computer. Not only can you turn a light on or off without getting up and flipping a switch, but you can also control the ambience, level of illumination, colour, and tone. Image coming home from work, and deciding you want to set a romantic mood...easy! Open the app on your phone and dim your entire house. Want a different colour light in your bedroom? No problem! This also applies to outdoor lights, fans, dimmers, lamps, security cameras, and more! You can shop our full smart collection below:
