Professionals Real Estate If you’re looking to sell your home fast, you’re going to need to pay attention to your home’s styling.
Styling is important in every room of your home, but is most noticeable in the living areas.
Your home’s living spaces will set the tone for the rest of the home and will create an atmosphere that buyers will either love or loathe. To ensure it’s the former, below are some tips to help you present a stylish living room.
- Furniture will help set the scene for your living spaces. Items that are too large or small can make a room seem awkward, so ensure that furniture is a suitable size.
- Play around with furniture arrangement so that it sets the right scene. For example, even if you normally prefer to have your chairs facing the television, it may look better if they face each other to make cosy spaces for conversation.
- Keep the mantelpiece uncluttered but perhaps add a single feature to lift the ambience.
- Accentuate the link to any outdoor areas by coordinating indoor and outdoor furniture or accessories. Also make sure doors leading outside are easily accessible.
- A great living room can be enhanced with the right lighting. Feature lighting can look great in living areas or hanging over a dining room table.
- Show off any pleasant views as much as possible by pulling back curtains. You may also want to head outside and trim trees or plants if they’re blocking views from the inside.
- One of the best things you can do is remove clutter. A big problem in a lot of homes is too much furniture; so if it doesn’t suit the space or isn’t adding any function then consider storing the item for the duration of the sale.
- Make the living room appear bigger by painting it in a lighter colour. Painting adjacent rooms in the same colour can help create a seamless transition between them.
- Find appropriate places to hang some art. A strong art piece can look great hanging over a mantelpiece or above the couch.
