Decorating your property

Is your paint work looking jaded? If so it maybe worth looking to freshen it up

Written by: Category: News January 23, 2020

Deciding to move home is a big decision. For many it’s a life changing event. We all dreams and we have hopes. We study magazines planning on how our new home is going to look often forgetting the one we already live in. Our current home becomes something of the past as we look and plan the future. But….. please do not forget, Its important to decorate your property to achieve the best price when selling.

Grubby Marks

Touch up those grubby marks and scuffs. Your decor needs to look fresh. Take a look at your walls. Has the dog made it dirty looking? Are there children’s handprints or crayon marks? It’s all really important. If you have the same paint, spend a couple of hours freshening it all up. Clean tidy walls leave a positive impression.

Worn paintwork

Is your paint work looking jaded? If so it maybe worth looking to freshen it up. Often sanding it back and a simple repaint will transform the appearance of your paintwork. If the chips are bit deeper, you might need to use some filler first. A home with smart woodwork including the skirting boards and door frames looks so much more appealing. Let’s be honest, you wouldn’t go on a night out with chipped nails with you?

Colourful walls

How colourful is your house? When selling your home you need to appeal to a wide audience by offering lighter neutral walls rather than personalise darker colours. Lighter colours can make a room feel brighter and often bigger. Crisp white and soft greys are often best. Let your buyers visualise themselves living there. Add colour through accessories and artwork instead!

Wallpaper

I love wallpaper and I hate wallpaper. Wallpaper is a statement and often, it reflects the owner. We don’t all have the same tastes. We don’t all for example want purple walls! It can however also work very well. I have seen wallpaper actually sell homes. You can create impact. Choose it wisely and for selling success stick to just one feature wall!
