Natural light is a key factor in a buyer’s decision to choose one house over another. Make sure your home is the brightest, most inviting one they see by removing all of your window coverings. Take them all down and replace with simple and unobtrusive options, like light filtering honeycomb shades, faux-wood blinds or simple white roller shades. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that you probably want to take many of your window treatments with you anyway, and as beautiful as they are, their purpose is generally to block light. Light-filtering honeycomb shades or blinds let in a maximum amount of light while also giving the feeling of privacy—the perfect combination. They also present a blank palette so potential buyers can envision their own window treatments in your home. Replacing old, broken and yellowing blinds or shades should be a top of mind priority when it comes to preparing a house to sell. Putting new window treatments throughout the whole house—which you can do yourself or hire someone to do for between $800 and $3,000, depending on how many windows are in your home—improves the entire house and will feel like a significant upgrade.

Another simple and inexpensive way to increase the light in your home is to change out the lamp shades and increase the wattage in your light bulbs (warm 60 Watt-equivalent LEDs are a great option).
