Lighting 101: How to Transform Your Airbnb Property Using the Power of Good Lighting

The power of effective lighting in changing the appearance and value of a property should not be underestimated. Read on to find out how you can enhance and improve the appearance of your Airbnb property using light.

Whether you want to improve your lighting setup or not, these simple tips will help you to improve the style and appearance of your Airbnb property.

Best Suited Lighting for Certain Rooms

Great lighting can set the mood of your property, creating a cosy atmosphere in each room. The main key is to understand the use of a particular room and apply the relevant lighting to optimise your space.

Open plan dining, kitchen, and living rooms need to have different circuits of lighting. Perhaps you can create a mix of LED lighting at low-level washers and LED under a cupboard task lights to create a good texture and depth in the space.

Lighting Your Tasks

Often overlooked are good lighting systems in the most functional areas of the property such as kitchen islands and bathrooms. Adding some working light beside the bed or in the kitchen will help you to improve the performance of visual tasks.

Reflective Accents

Try to introduce some reflective elements to each room. For example, hanging a large mirror on the wall will give you a reflecting light that will help brighten your room and make it look a lot more spacious. Painting your walls white can also gives you a great reflection of natural light and is perfect for smaller rooms.

Light the Corners

Dark corners all over your property will not help you achieve a peaceful place. Find some creative ways to add more light to create an ambiance. You can also add some wall lighting to your dining room to improve your surroundings. These simple changes can make a vast improvement in your Airbnb property.

Update Your Lighting

Modernise your lounge area with mechanical style lighting. Create a streamline look by combining your lighting fixtures with items of furniture, like distressed wood tables and wicker seats. You can look for different styles of lighting in sites like Black Mango.

Bedside Table Lamps

Measure where the base of the shade meets eye level when you are situated or lying on the bed. This will enable you to decide the tallness of the light, so the light doesn't sparkle right in the eyes of your guests.

• Reading Lamps. How much light required relies on various elements including other light sources, your eyes, and where you'll be reading. Light shades can diffuse the light, controlling a portion of the brilliance.
• Side Table Lamps. Lights arranged on a side table in the living room must be brighter than those in the bedroom.
• Desk Lamps. Work area lights are critical because appropriate lighting can affect both efficiency and inclination. To limit shadows when working, set the light on the opposite side of your active hand. Most work area lights are maneuverable, so you can place the light where you like.

Dim Lights

Dimmers are very important because they allow you to enjoy greater lighting control and create your own atmosphere in each room. They can also help you to save on energy consumption.

Takeaway

It is an entirely different feeling coming into a house and being welcomed by the presence of decorative, contemporary or modern lightings. Well-picked lighting can brighten a whole room, in turn, brightening the mood of your guests.
