Have you ever heard of "house-dressing"? This is the subtle and delicate art of adding value to your home by dressing it up with dcor items while you attempt to sell it.
Imagine you're a new homebuyer, and you walk into an open home. The house looks nice from the outside, but inside, you can see clutter everywhere, the curtains are dirty, the furniture faded and covered in stains. You try to remove this mess in your mind's eye, picture the place cleaned up, your own furniture in place. But it's impossible.
Now picture the same house with crisp, modern furniture, no mess anywhere, fresh paint on the walls, and stylish Venetian blinds on the windows. Doesn't this feel like a completely different house? Can you already see yourself living here?
To affect the same transformation on your own home, you could hire a professional "house-dresser" or have a go yourself. Tidying up the paint job can be done on a simple budget from the local hardware store, and you could borrow different furniture from a friend if yours isn't up to the task.
When it comes to selling a home, light is one of the most important factors buyer look for, even if they don't realize it. Curtains often cover too much of the window, but swapping your curtains out for blinds allow much more light to enter a room. The horizontal shadows created by blinds also make rooms appear wider and longer.
In particular, many people are drawn to the simple sophistication of wooden Venetian blinds. You could splurge on a new set of wooden blinds for your home, or, to save on money, you should look into faux-wooden blinds. These look like wooden blinds but are made of vinyl or plastic polymer, or a wooden composite. They're comparatively cheaper than real wood, while retaining the modern, stylish look of wooden blinds. Faux-wooden blinds are also much easier to clean and maintain.
So if you're considering "house-dressing" your home before you put it on the market, consider the impact swapping your curtains for blinds will have. If you can't afford to spring for real wooden blinds, faux-wooden Venetian blinds make an excellent alternative.
