Quick fix design tips in selling your home

• Cosy cushions are affordable and add texture
• Think of collections of accessories and group them together
• Remove any clutter, if it doesn’t work with the collection of accessories then lose it.
• If you don’t have large items use lots of smaller items together to create the illusion of size
• Huge mirrors add to smaller rooms or the outdoor flow
• Light comes into a room from the top of a window, if the room is dark don’t select fussy curtains or pelmets. Go for simple pleated blind or voile sheers.
• In selling, make sure you have fresh towels and linen out
• Change the shower curtain and entrance matt if they are dated and uninviting
• New home owners want to feel like this could be there new home, so remove family photos and clutter on the fridge
• Smell is important – fill your room with subtle fragrances, a bowl of lemons, mint or basil in the kitchen. Avoid artificial smells; go for delicately perfumed flowers such as lilies, and burning essential oils. Use lavender spray on bed linen
• Sound is important – consider a moving water feature, soft music and avoid those noisy kitchen appliances
• Touch is important – texture adds depth, interest and sensuality. Timber or marble with natural fibres and heavy weaves such as sisals combined with smooth suede and leather and soft woollen throws.
• Hiring items is affordable and makes your home marketable. Hire artworks, furnishing and plants to get the look to attract the prospective buyer.
