Your home may be decorated to your style and may feel like a
cozy, warm home to you, but other may not view it in the same
way. When you are trying to sell your home, you want it to look
as appealing to the potential buyers as possible. Achieving this
goal may mean that you may have to rethink your homes décor and
do a little re-decorating.
If you have a room in your home that has a unique style of its
own, you may want to change a few things. If you have decorated
a room in your home in animal print, or in deep bold colors, you
should think about toning it down a little. Potential buyers
might be turned off by the boldness of the room and they may no
longer want to consider your home for them. Keep the colors and
the themes of the rooms in your home to basic, simple and
conservative style. Keep things light and airy so that potential
buyers can imagine their own style in that room or area.

Another tip to selling your home is to keep the rooms
uncluttered. Do not leave things lying around. Keep books and
magazines put away or on a bookshelf. Accent pieces should do
just that and they should compliment the décor in the room.
Having too many accent pieces will only make the room look messy
and cluttered. This is especially true in rooms like the
kitchen. Keep the counters free of junk and clutter. Too much on
the counters can make the room and counter space look minimal.
You want to achieve the look of a spacious room instead of a
small cramped look.
Do not have too much furniture in one room. Keep only the
essential pieces in a room. You do not want a lot of furniture
in a small room because this will make it look crowded and
small. You want to bring focus on the floor plan of the house
and how much potential space you will have available.
If you have a lot of family pictures hanging on the walls or on
display, you may want to take some of them away. Having too many
pictures of your family may also take away from the illusion of
the potential buying thinking of themselves in that house. If
you are taking pictures off the way, make sure that you fill in
all the nail holes and repaint.
Make sure that the house is cleaned up and you may want to think
about having the carpets cleaned. When people are looking at a
home to buy, they want to purchase a home where clean people
have lived. They do not want to buy a home where there may be
dirt and grime either on the surface or underneath in hidden
areas.
Before deciding to sell your home, go through each room and see
where you need to update anything. If you have anything that is
out dated, you may want to replace it with something newer and
improved. Things that you can look at are paint, medicine
cabinets, lighting fixtures, faucets, floor coverings, and even
the plumbing or electrical work in the house. The more that you
update now means the more money you can ask for when you sell.
Putting a few dollars in your home now may mean that you can get
double that when your house is sold.
Keep the pets hidden when people come over to view your home. If
you are trying to sell your home, you do not want to let the
potential buyers know that you have pets in the house. Take them
out of the house with you and make sure that the house is free
of any pet odors. Clean the carpets, spray room deodorizer or
have candles lit when potential buyers come over.
