What is a curtain effect and why is it useful?
A curtain effect is an interactive way to showcase before and after images of virtual home staging. It allows viewers to slide between the original and staged versions of a space, making it easy to appreciate the transformation.
This effect is particularly valuable for real estate professionals because it:
- Demonstrates the impact of virtual staging in a compelling way
- Helps clients understand the potential of empty spaces
- Creates engaging content for marketing materials
- Builds trust by showing the original space alongside improvements
