Quite often it simply comes down to a
matter of presentation
Declutter
It is very important to make each room appear as spacious as possible. Storing some
furniture with a friend, a self-storage company or in the garage to ‘open-up’ rooms and
hallways is a good way of doing this. Opening the curtains and blinds to allow as much
natural light in as possible will brighten up the property and again help accentuate the
feeling of spaciousness. Similarly, trees and shrubs which shade windows may need to
be pruned to increase natural light.
