De-personalise & de-clutter
Don’t give potential buyers the opportunity to become distracted with your family photos and eclectic artwork collection. Allow them to become completely entrapped in the homes features, giving them every opportunity to take notice of how the house will serve them and their family.
Keep it Neutral
Do you remember the terracotta oranges and avocado greens that were popular in the 1970’s? Well they are no longer your friend and you will need to give them the flick before your property goes to market.
Give your home the best chance on the competitive market with a fresh coat of paint in a beautiful shade of white such as the Dulux Lexicon. A neutral colour palette will allow potential buyers to envision their own belongings in the home and could potentially be the difference between them making an offer and them moving onto another property.

Where possible keep the furnishings in a neutral colour palette as well with just a few subtle colour injections in the artwork and accessories.
Modernise
Put your personal feelings aside and consider what buyers would think of your hand-me-down furniture. Yes, these items are of centimental value to you and your family, but in their eyes just looks like furniture purchased from a second-hand shop.
If you’re working within a budget and cannot afford to replace every item in your home. Consider upgrading the living and dining spaces. These are the areas that potential buyers look at closely when inspecting properties to buy. If new furniture is out of the question simply modernise with accessories.
Keep it Light
How do you feel when you walk into a dull, dark room? Do you feel welcome? Is it an inviting space? No. So when preparing your home for the property market and your sales campaign consider the lighting in each space.
Bright & light = happy, inviting and welcoming space. This is exactly the feeling you want to give potential buyers.

If natural lighting isn’t a possibility, then substitute with artificial lighting. Steer away from darker colours and keep things light and bright with a neutral colour palette. Allowing each room to emanate fresh, bright and welcoming vibes. Lighting can actually be the driving force behind behind potential buyers making an offer.
