Lighting plays a critical role in the perception and success of model homes. From the inviting glow of natural light to the strategic placement of artificial lighting, the right lighting design can significantly influence a buyer’s decision. Mattamy Homes’ latest set of models – the Rowan and Briar – in Kenley at Tradition in Southern Florida shows how different lighting strategies can enhance model home sales.

Natural Lighting in Summer

Natural lighting is a key element in any model home, especially during the summer months. The placement and size of windows are crucial for maximizing the entry of natural light. Large, strategically placed windows can make spaces feel larger, more open, and inviting. Depending on the project’s design and the amount of natural light available, drapery can either enhance the space or detract from it. Sheer curtains can diffuse harsh sunlight while maintaining the room’s brightness, whereas heavier drapes might be more suitable for rooms that require more privacy or a cozy ambiance.

Creating a Place Where the Buyer Loves to Be

A successful model home is one where potential buyers can envision themselves living happily. Thoughtfully designed lighting can transform a house into a home. Cozy living rooms with layered lighting, bright and functional kitchens, and serene bedrooms with adjustable lighting options all contribute to a buyer’s overall impression.  The recessed lighting helps light cover the entire space while the ambient lighting brings the friendly feeling to the space. Lastly, the decorative lighting is strategically placed to draw a memory, drama or curated effect that cannot be forgotten. The goal is to make every space in the home feel like a place they would love to spend time in, increasing the likelihood of a sale. This model home highlights the strategically designed interiors capturing lighting to make a statement with the bronze details.
