When I stage a house for sale, I always remove the window treatments. Most people have bulky dark curtain to block the sun out or for privacy. A better solution would be shears, light-colored drapes, or blinds this will allow you to control the light. Bright rooms tend to appears fresh, energetic and more inviting exactly how we want to greet buyers.
The color scheme in your house could be swallowing the natural light. Lighter colored wall and furniture will reflect the natural light making the space seem larger. Add color with cushions or accessories, this will add visual interest to the room. Bright colors seem more vibrated in well lit spaces. Using high gloss paint on the ceiling is a great way to increase natural light because it reflects light better than matte finishes.
Mirrors are a great way to add more light to your space since they are reflective. Stagers love mirrors for the fact you can double your space visually, try to hang the mirror so it catches the rays of the sun though the window to maximum the light it reflects.
One of the most obvious ways to increase the natural light in your home and most overlooked is to clean the windows. Dirt and grim gives everything a dull look, the light filters through the dirt making the cleanest room dreary.
Making the most of light is economical, energy efficient and keeps us healthy. Sunlight will help your home feel bright and warm even in winter. A few simple and easy changes will make a big difference in maximizing natural light, changing the mood and attitude of the space.
