STYLE TO SELL

Whether you’re going for an inexpensive revamp on your home and K-mart is more in your budget (no harm in that!) or you’ve got the money to spend on investing in your home, these tips will make any home look more inviting and valuable.

COLOUR

Colour has the power to create an emotional reaction in buyers. Bring in colour through the addition of soft furnishings and artwork. Stick to tonal and soft hues, two to three colours max

STREET APPEAL

They say first impressions count, right? Sprucing up the front of your home will not only be inviting to those who are already interested in the property, it may also catch the eye of people driving past.

ARTWORK & CUSHIONS

A modern piece of art and new season cushions have the power to change up the look of a room. Minimalism and neutral colours is the best and easiest place to start.

DINING CHAIRS

Dining chairs tend to cop a lot of knocks, scuffs and dirty finger marks. If yours are looking a little worse for wear, it might be time for an update.

Add In Greenery

Plants are the styling hero of the season. Adding a few plants around the house creates a sense of calm and personality. And not to mention, it brings the outdoors in and reduces pollutants in the air.

Freshen Up Floor Coverings

Clean floors freshen up any space instantly, bringing life with a little extra gleam. Update your rugs, give the floorboards a mop or get your carpets professionally cleaned, and you won’t even need to spend a fortune.

Window Curtains

When was the last time you had a good look at your curtains? They tend to lose colour, collect dust and experience wear and tear overtime.

Bed Linen

Rather than spending an hour comparing the striped and polka dot bedspread, choose white for big impact and luxurious styling.
