Whatever your reasons for selling your home, you’ll want to get the very best price for it that you can. Working with an experienced estate agent can be immensely helpful, and with their expert guidance, you may learn of many ways in which to make your home more desirable to potential buyers, and even get a better price for it.
Small things such as the types of window blinds in your home can have a lasting impact on potential buyers when viewing your home, and as any estate agent worth their salt will tell you, windows and window treatments can be a determining factor in a property’s popularity among buyers.
With this in mind, let’s take a closer look at just how window treatments can help you sell your home:
Is window dressing overlooked when preparing homes for viewings?
Yes, window treatments do tend to be overlooked when homeowners are seeking to make their property look more appealing to potential buyers, and the tendency is often to focus on repairs and smaller welcoming touches, such as fresh flowers and bowls of fruit.
However, a window and the way in which it has been dressed, has the potential to completely overshadow any other aspects of the property, and when done right, can even convince an undecided buyer that your home is the one for them.
Why are window treatments so important when selling a property?
Window placement and window treatments have the power to literally transform a space. A room flooded with cheering light during the day due to large windows that have been positioned well, but which can be transformed into a cozy and comforting space after nightfall thanks to the right window treatment, can sell your home far quicker than any display of the sweetest smelling flowers or deliciously vibrant bowl of fruit!
Window treatments in particular, are especially powerful for helping to sell a home when it comes to rooms that are front-facing, and here’s why:
- It enhances privacy
Nobody wants to be overlooked when relaxing inside their own home, but with the right window treatment that can be adjusted according to the rime of day or the needs of the occupant, you can make a room completely private and yet still inviting and light.
Blinds are a great way of enabling visibility and light to be easily adjusted in a room, with many designs allowing for complete privacy, while not blocking how much light penetrates the space.
- It can allow the presence of natural light
Nothing is better for the décor of a room than natural light, and nothing is better for the soul, either. If your window treatments block light and make rooms look dark and dingy, potential buyers will likely be deterred. Whereas if light can flood into the room as and when the occupants wish with the help of curtains, blinds or shutters, they are much more likely to be able to envisage themselves living there.
Just be sure to invest in quality window treatments from reputable sellers and curtain makers.
- It can help showcase interior designs
Some homebuyers may prefer to see a blank canvas within a property so that they can put their own design stamp on it, and with the right window treatment, you can help enhance this for them.
- It can highlight certain features of a space
A room that has particularly beautiful windows, or a fantastic view, deserves to be highlighted with the right window treatment that will draw potential buyers eyes to it.
So, if you’re seeking to sell your home, don’t neglect your windows. Instead, invest in some stunning but practical window treatments that serve to highlight the spaces within and tempt potential buyers into placing a bid.
