Making small changes can make a big difference

De-cluttering and cleaning are the two most important things you can do to get your house ready for showings.

Also, adding small touches such as, new bathroom towels, a well-placed bouquet of flowers or an accent color can really liven up your home. Many of these tips can also apply to making your home more enjoyable to live in even if you are not planning to sell it!

Warming it Up

Adding small warm touches to rooms with pillows and accessories can bring life to a room.

Paring Down

Remove all extra items that do not enhance the beauty and functionality of each space. Put extra items in storage.

Accenting With Color

Adding a few vibrant color accents to an otherwise monotone room can enliven a room very inexpensively.

Decorating in in Threes

Odd numbers create tension that provides visual interest. This principle can be applied with to wall art and accessories in any room.

Setting the Scene

Make sure each room’s purpose can be obviously determined by potential buyers. Setup a third bedroom as a home office or additional sitting area.
