As real estate staging professionals, one of the first things we look to optimize in a home is light. It is a well accepted adage that light can not only improve our mood but also potentially enhance our thinking and memory (1). It is no wonder, that buyers are attracted to homes with great natural light.
One lighting barrier we often have to overcome are dark window coverings. By simply removing or replacing dark window coverings with a lighter option, we can positively impact potential buyers' perspective. This small change, we've seen result in thousands of return dollars, and we are all about getting our clients the best offers!
