Getting ready to sell? 🚪

Avoid these common interior design mistakes:
❌ Dark, heavy curtains that block natural light
❌ Cluttered shelves and countertops
❌ Outdated or overly personal decor choices

The goal is to create a space buyers can picture themselves living in — light, bright, and neutral.

When in doubt: declutter, depersonalize, and let the light in.
