Decorating tips for a successful property sale

Selling a home can be a demanding and lengthy process. That is why it is important to stage your home in a way that makes it easy for potential buyers to imagine themselves living in your home. This entails going the extra mile when it comes to the decorative features of your property. Here are some tips for using interior decor to speed up the sale of a property.

Tip One: Use décor to create a welcoming aesthetic

The most important thing is that you realise that you’re putting on a show. Using this as your point of departure helps to mould a captivating aesthetic and create an environment that is easy for potential buyers to imagine themselves living in.

Tip Two: Get rid of any clutter and make use of a statement piece

When it comes to décor, we are in a time where less is more, think of the minimalist movement and tiny home trend. Having one or two statement pieces in each room, such as an art piece, vases or unique shelving can go a long way in making your property stand out.

Tip Three: Steam clean carpets, couches, bedding and decorative linens

The devil is in the details. It’s not enough to take out the guests’ bedding and runners from that prized cupboard. Presentation is crucial and the small things matter.Tthings such as running an iron or steamer over the fabric can make all the difference in the overall impression of your property.

Tip Four: Can you say feng shui

Remember that people will be moving through your home while viewing. Make sure the flow and layout of your furniture is placed in such a way that allows freedom of movement and does not obstruct the flow. Leave openings where viewers can easily transition into the next room.

Tip Five: Use lighting to transform your property

Lighting is everything. Some people are lucky enough to have ample natural light, but even they may need a boost. Work on lighting up your property in ways that highlight its best features.

Tip Six: Neutral colours are the most appealing

Neutral colours are a safe option for appealing to all kinds of people. A splash of colour here and there won’t hurt, but only if it’s sprinkled in moderation.
