Budget Tip of the Day: Let in the Light

Lighting is something you’ve got to think about when designing to sell your home.  People love lots of natural light and potential buyers will be looking for it.  To bring in as much natural light as possible, you’ve got to uncover your windows.  If you have lots of drapery or valances that cover up part of your windows, take them down and replace with something a little simpler.  You definitely want to have a window treatment, but the more you can uncover the windows, the better.  The same goes for blinds.  Either take them down or make sure they are fully drawn when people come to look at your home.  Choosing a light paint color can also help to brighten up a dark room that doesn’t have a lot of windows.  And don’t forget to turn all your lights on.  When designing to sell, the brighter and lighter your home feels, the better chance you have of selling quickly.
