OfflineBargain Project No. 4: Update the Lighting
When you turn on your bathroom light, does it feel like you're in a police inquisition with those blinding lightbulbs glaring down at you? If so, it's time to update your lighting.
"Most of us have a basic light above the sink, and it is terrible for daily tasks," Williams says. "Lighting can make the biggest impact when you are remodeling. This goes a long way to increase the ambience and the value of the room."
If you want a dollar for dollar investment, task lighting (which is similar to accent lighting) is a great option. For example, you can add some canister lights that are recessed into the ceiling, or choose pendant or sconce lighting to help illuminate a mirror.
Another good choice, Williams says, is track lighting, in which lights sit along a track on the ceiling or wall and allow you to adjust their position to shine wherever you want.
Lighting was one of the top elements as it it vital for well being so as not to strain one's eyes or just setting mood, to showcasing art, etc.

Thanks for the comment.
You are right! Lighting makes a huge difference in the overall project. Mood setting, brightness, and many other factors make it a big priority on every deal that I do. I can't think of the last property I have walked through that didn't need new lighting. And you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to redo the lighting in the property. Most standard 3 bedroom 2 bathroom houses that are investment type properties can be relighted for under $1,600 which would include even a few ceiling fans. Yet it makes such a big difference. I like to use brushed nickle finish to tie into the brush nickle finish I do throughout the rest of the house.
Thanks again for your great input!
Happy Investing!

I also like the brushed Nickel and just put more in my own house. It looks very rich and updated. Makes everything come together.

I totally Agree! Brushed Nickle makes all the difference in the world. Rich and updated is a great way to describe that. The other thing I like is you are able to Coordinate much easier when you use brushed nickle. You don't have to worry about matching and having it be a different shades like you have problems with if you use other colors. I love being able to share ideas and things that work.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks,
Matt
