•       Clearing window treatments that block light

•       Removing seasonal decor that dates the home

•       Pulling out excess furniture that restricts flow

Staging for Spring Buyers: What They're Actually Looking For

•       Greenery and botanicals that signal growth and vitality

•       Open windows and unobstructed natural light

•       Where afternoon sun creates warmth in living and dining spaces

•       Which rooms benefit most from the shift in angle
