Property Styling Tips

1. Neutralise rooms – strip the house of clutter, personal items from bathrooms and anything that interferes with buyers imagining themselves living there.
2. Ensure furniture and soft furnishings play to the property’s architecture.
3. Scale furniture to fit spaces – smaller if the room’s tight (a double bed instead of queen-size), bigger if it’s cavernous.
4. Create an open-arm welcome – keep spaces fluid and open. Don’t back a sofa, for instance, to a doorway; don’t simply push furniture against the wall to create roominess.
5. Add “pops” of colour – flowers, fruit, anything that brightens and lightens the house.
6. Invest in new accessories – cushions, throws and rugs can transform rooms (and hide stains).
7. Give the house a fresh, new look and smell – a coat of paint (especially the front door), new carpets and, externally, a high- pressure clean.
8. Keep driveway clear of cars.
9. Hire a professional who isn’t too close to the property and can introduce a dispassionate eye; know the market you’re styling for.
10. Enter the house as if you’re a buyer not a seller
