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
