Hello everyone 👋
I hope you're having a great week 😎
Recently, I traveled to Colorado and stayed at an Airbnb that had sensors to adjust the brightness of the lights in almost every room. I was really surprised because I hadn’t seen this anywhere else. It got me thinking about the importance of lighting in different spaces and how it helps create a unique atmosphere.
What kind of lighting do you use in your property? What type of atmosphere are you aiming to create?

Thank you,
Ciao @Paula ,
in our house in Venice, especially in the hot tub in our garden, we use lights to create a very romantic atmosphere 😍

Hi Paula,
Adjustable lighting can definitely enhance the guest experience by allowing them to tailor the environment to their comfort.
There are many properties that uses a mix of lighting types to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Try to include dimmable LED lights in common areas and bedrooms, which let guests adjust the brightness to their liking. In spaces like reading nooks or work areas, provide task lighting with options to change light intensity and color temperature, which can be particularly helpful for guests with visual preferences or sensitivities, like those with astigmatism.
For the overall atmosphere, I aim for a balance between cozy and functional. Warm, soft lighting in bedrooms and living areas helps create a relaxing environment, while brighter, more focused lighting in kitchens and bathrooms enhances functionality and safety.
Here are some suggested products:
Dimmable LED Ceiling Lights:
Adjustable Task Lighting:
Smart LED Bulbs:
LED Strip Lights:
I hope this helps.
All the best,

Hello @Alicia753 👋

Hi @Paula , good question. I think many hosts put extra thought into lighting when they start renting out.
We have placed several atmospheric and charming solar-powered lamps around the property. The house is situated by a lake in a vast forest area, and it gets very dark at night.
We believe the lamps scattered throughout the landscape create a warm and secure atmosphere, helping to dispel the darkness, which can be a bit overwhelming, especially for city dwellers.
We used the house ourselves for several years without outdoor lighting, but we installed them this spring to prepare for renting it out, and we feel that the surroundings have become much more welcoming and appealing, so they are here to stay.
Best regards

Hi Paula,
In my cosy apartment listing in Melbourne Australia, I have dimable Led downlights and bedside read reading lamps with warm Led globes. Both comfortably controlled bedside.
Great to read the worldwide comments.
Best wishes to all.
