Warm It Up!
Everyone loves to walk into a space and feel cozy – right at HOME. Adding small warm touches throughout your home will help carry a feeling of warmth and comfort as interested buyers tour your home. Adding simple touches like cozy throws and decorative pillows to your sofa or a beautiful duvet cover in the master bedroom with pillows will create an warm and inviting space.
Paring Down
Golden Rule: The More Simple the Space, the Better it Shows. When buyers are looking at homes they often don’t look past the clutter around them. Removing all extra items in your home that do not enhance the beauty and functionality of each space will prevent buyers from feeling overwhelmed in your home. For example, put extra items lying around in the kitchen or home office into a storage bin. Remember, closets can and will be opened during a showing so it’s best to keep storage items in the basement or attic space so they stay out of view.
Accent With Color
