And this doesn't mean homeowners have to break the bank: "Even a statement lamp can elevate the feel of a room."
The expert also advised property sellers to give the walls of their homes some TLC with some fresh paint.
She said: "A fresh coat of paint can breathe new life into any room." She recommended neutral colours that "invite and appeal to a wide range of buyers".
The trick is to go for colours that allow a prospective buyer to picture themself in your home. This is likely to increase how much homeowners are willing to pay for a property.
Indeed, an estate agent said the easiest way to increase your property's value is with one paint colour.
Using one specific shade will "garner a lot more interest" and boost a property's value "more than any other quick renovation will do".
Finally, the expert advised: "Do not underestimate the power of small details."
Sometimes this means making little yet impactful changes rather than huge alterations that cost the earth.
For example, instead of replacing wardrobes, homeowners can simply replace the outdated handles on them.
This will give the impression of a "sleek" and "contemporary" home to potential buyers.
