31 Days to Sell Your Home: Day 15 โ€“ Heavy Drapes, Sad Vibes

๐ŸชŸ Let the Light In โ€” Literally
Heavy curtains donโ€™t just block sunlight โ€” they block buyers from seeing the space. Bulky, dark, or patterned drapes can make even a big room feel small and outdated.

What to Look Out For:

  • Thick, floor-sweeping drapes in dark or dated fabrics
  • Curtains that block windows entirely
  • Dusty valances or swag-style toppers (RIP, 2003)

What to Do Instead:

  • Remove curtains completely if the windows are in good shape
  • Replace with simple white sheers or light-filtering panels
  • Raise rods higher and wider to frame the window, not cover it

Natural light makes rooms feel larger, cleaner, and more inviting โ€” exactly what buyers want.

๐Ÿ‘‰ One Action to Take Today:
Pick one room with heavy window treatments. Take the drapes down and see how it feels. Lighter? Brighter? Better.
