When you're selling your home, it's important to make sure that it looks its best. You want potential buyers to be able to imagine themselves living in the property, and styling it in a way that maximises its appeal is a great way to do this. In this blog post, we'll discuss some tips on how to style your home for sale, so that you can get the best price possible!
Less is always more
One of the most important things to keep in mind when styling your home for sale is that less is more. You want potential buyers to be able to see the property's potential, and cluttered rooms can make it difficult for them to do this. If you have a lot of personal belongings, consider putting them into storage while your home is on the market. This will allow potential buyers to really see the property as their own.

Let there be light (and air)!
Another tip is to focus on creating a light and airy feel in your home. This can be achieved by painting walls in light colours, and ensuring plenty of natural light comes into the property. Buyers are often attracted to homes that feel bright and spacious. A neutral palette of whites (either warm or cold - depending on the amount of natural light available) works well for interiors. Painting walls will often be discussed by your agent and included in marketing options for the property.

Make a statement
Including statement furniture pieces is another great way to maximise the appeal of your home. These pieces can be used to create focal points in a room and can help to add personality and character. When choosing furniture for your home, it's important to keep in mind the style of the property and the tastes of potential buyers. At Century 21 we recommend using a stylist or staging company to assist you in creating a look that will appeal to a wide range of people and showcase your property to its greatest potential.

Don't forget your exterior spaces
One of the most important things to keep in mind when styling your home for sale is that potential buyers will often judge a property based on its exterior. Make sure that your garden is tidy and well-maintained, and that your driveway and porch are clean and clutter-free. You may want to consider adding some decorative touches to these spaces, such as a pot of flowers or a patio set. This will help to create a good first impression for potential buyers and make them more likely to want to see the inside of the property.

Finally, it's important to make sure that your home is clean and tidy at all times. This includes both the inside and outside of the property. First impressions are important, so you want to make sure that buyers are impressed from the moment they arrive. A clean and well-presented home will help to maximise your chances of achieving a successful sale.
