31 Days to Sell Your Home: Day 15 – Heavy Drapes, Sad Vibes
🪟 Let the Light In — Literally
Heavy curtains don’t just block sunlight — 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 Bulky, dark, or patterned drapes can make even a big room feel small and outdated.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 — exactly what buyers want.
👉 One Action to Take Today:
Pick one room with heavy window treatments. Take the drapes down and see how it feels. Lighter? Brighter? Better.
