Hiding personal photos
When buys are walking through your home, they’re trying to envision themselves living in the property you are selling.
Some agents may recommend to remove personal photos, we recommend removing anything that is highly personal, however, some photos which relate to your theme may find a connection to the new buyer. It is very common, for buyers to be similar in taste to the taste of the sellers. There is a highly likelihood that the buyer of your home will have some similarities.
So keep some photos that are related to your theme and remove any clutter that take away from your theme. Remove anything overly personal in your home.
Make your colour palette more neutral, with a slight feature pops
Once you set your theme, try to align it to neutral colour plates. Beige, greys, and even whites with some pop colours can work great.
Continue your entrance theme, towards your living areas and your bedrooms. You can use pillow colours to create a pop feature, which focuses on a specific living area.
Don’t be too conservative, however, keep to a neutral palette to allow your visitor to associate with the property
Keep your style cohesive and clean
Finally, you don’t have to stick to one particular style, however stick to your theme or story line throughout your property, most people will be drawn to clean neutral designs with some slight pop.
Try to avoid staunch differences between the designs of each room and go for a more cohesive look, relatable to the overall theme of your property.
One final note, make sure to clean out your closets and remove any clutter. Keep things simple.
