Candles or a crackling fire used to set the mood of a home. Fast forward to incandescent lights that emitted "warm" light, and with an added dimmer switch, we could set the room's atmosphere. Along came CFL bulbs which did save energy but gave-off somewhat harsh lighting. Now we have LEDs which enable us to save energy and still choose the mood.

Home staging can help sell houses without question. When my clients are trying to decide whether a particular house is the right one for them, I ask them whether they can see themselves waking up on Saturday morning in this home. Does it feel good? The Buyers need to be able to envision their new life in the home.
