Your chocolate painted bedroom may give you comfort and your candles may offer the right mood for a romantic evening at home, but when it comes to putting your home on the market, there is no exception to the rule: brighter is better. 
With so many large buildings in this city, only a small percentage of apartments get much direct sunlight, so the challenge becomes giving your home a cheery glow even if you don't have to don your shades every time you enter the living room. Luckily, there are several ways to do this.
1) Take a tip from Lalaland and substitute the natural with the artificial. Identify every less-than-bright area of your home and illuminate it with a lamp. In that lamp, don't put a low-wattage yellow bulb, but rather one that emits joyous white light. Then, before each showing, turn every single light on.
2) A strategically placed mirror will reflect the best rays into more sunlight-deprived areas of your home.
3) Choose bright colors. If you have a brown wall, repaint it white. Ifyour furniture is brown leather and black velvet, replace whatever possible with lighter-colored furniture and pillows. If necessary, rent the furniture!
4) Clean windows, walls, and floors. Clean surfaces will allow more light in and reflect it throughout the apartment.
5) Unless they are blocking a particularly ugly view, open all your shades all the way.
6) Be sure to do all of these things before your prospective buyer or renter ever steps foot in the apartment.
