Retrofitting or building new multi-family units? Lighting is a relatively easy and cost-effective way to make multi-family housing more desirable to buyers and renters.
Here are 5 popular and totally doable lighting trends that will help increase the value of your multi-family homes.
LED Lighting: This one’s a no brainer. LED fixtures can be a cinch to install. They come in various affordable styles that add a classic, sleek look to any décor. An LED can last anywhere from 6-12 years before it needs replacing. And LED lighting saves homeowners and renters on their energy bills.
Energy-Efficient Fixtures: Sure, energy-efficiency saves money, but today’s consumers are also more environmentally conscious. Built-in amenities that lower energy consumption and decrease carbon footprints are becoming more and more important to buyers and renters.
Customizable Lighting: Fixtures with features such as adjustable color temperature, brightness levels, and programmable lighting scenes allow residents to create – and easily change – the ambiance in their homes and outdoor living spaces. They can even make their lighting mimic natural daylight patterns that support circadian rhythms and have been proven to enhance health and wellness.
Architectural Lighting: Various styles of lighting are designed to add or emphasize architectural interest to create more upscale common areas and outdoor spaces. Consider fixtures such as recessed lighting, cove lighting, wall-mounted fixtures, wall washes, and more.
Exterior Lighting Enhancements: Upgraded exterior lighting solutions such as LED landscape lighting, pathway illumination, and accent lighting improve the safety, security, and curb appeal of multi-family housing developments.
