5 Simple upgrades to help sell your home
From fresh styling to clever organisation, you can transform your home with just a few simple
upgrades. Whether your home is currently on the market or you’re thinking of listing it in the future,
looking at it with fresh eyes really can reinvigorate the space and help it sell.
Freshen up
Let the fresh air into your home to eliminate stale odours. Do this for 15-20 minutes a day to help
circulate the air and banish any unwanted smells. Give your upholstery and window dressings a dust,
sprinkle baking soda onto carpets before hoovering or use a steam cleaner to refresh everything
from sofas to headboards.
Maximise storage
When your belongings don’t have a ‘home’, clutter can quickly take over. Shelving units, storage
boxes and stylish baskets can help keep things tidy. Look at all surfaces and store away anything you don’t need to have on display.
Refresh your bedroom
A serene master bedroom will always make a home inviting, so focus on making yours clutter free
and welcoming. New bedding, a fresh lick of neutral paint and enough storage to keep it clean will
really showcase it. Try enhancing the natural light in the room with minimal window dressings or
strategically placed mirrors to bounce the light around.
Rearrange furniture
Your current set-up might work well for your family but too much furniture in a room can make it
feel much smaller than it is. Take some time to rethink your room and move items around to
improve the flow – it can give your home a fresh, new look. Move unwanted furniture to other
rooms in the house or sell it to make some extra money.
Spruce up your outdoor space
Give your garden, patio or balcony a mini facelift by adding or rearranging existing garden furniture.
No matter the size of your outside space, spending a little time tidying it up can make a huge
difference. Sweep away any debris, add some pots of colour and a garden rug with your seating and
it will look like an extension of your indoor space.
It may take a little bit of time, effort and imagination but with these few simple upgrades you will
transform your home and make it more appealing to potential buyers.
