When I help people stage their homes, I am always very focused on spending as little money as possible. However, there are a few items that I will suggest they drop some cash on. These include: towels, rugs, throw pillows, pillow cases, shower curtains, etc. Having clean, new, and trending accessories such as these, can really bring a house up to speed--and the added bonus is that the owner can take these items with them to decorate their new home with! (Or they can take the original items that they loved.)
In the case of this breakfast nook, the curtains were out of date stylistically, but also bringing down an otherwise bright and cheerful space with their dark color and busy pattern. We replaced them with inexpensive curtains from Wal-Mart (under $20) that showcase the color of the brick and brighten the room.
Removing all artwork from areas with little wall space also brightens a room and makes it look bigger. Remember: wall space is valuable real estate!
