Forget shabby-chic and white-in-white. Home Buyers want warm understated elegance in the homes, they would their own. Going through hundreds of houses in the month as a mediator, I see first hand the body language and hear the comments from today's homebuyers, which in turns rolls or them. One of the most interesting examples of how decoration and rewording a house came early this spring market when a two-story center was available.

The entry colonial home was filled with the end of 1990 the colors and too much furniture, works of art and bric-a - brac. The property lingered for a few weeks and the buyer feedback was that she could 't see through all the things in the house to get an idea of what the houses "bones". Plus the deep jewel-tone paint was dark and transferred. Also, we have a low-budget over some of my basic design principles. The home went to contract shortly after the final edit and update was completed. Here are a few good tips basic decoration by Mark Nash author of 1001 Tips for the purchase and sale of a Home.

-Don 't forget first impressions. The entrance hall is where you set the tone for the entire house. Keep it simple and leisure, as this is where buyers and their representatives meet. Do you have a console table (for listing materials) with a mirror on the one hand and the chair for guests to sit down and the prey or shoes, or to park purses and coats. Remove family photos and throw rugs, less is more.

Room Design Basics need for functional elegance. Accessories Group. Not spread like decorative art objects to a room. Place collections together to give them more visual power. If you have a chair it needs a table alongside and a lamp, it's a cozy reading. Artwork should be streamlined and focused on the impact assessment. Hang artwork closer together instead of scattering around a room. Keep the range of colors in a narrow space. Too many colors is annoying and not inviting, you want the buyer to linger.

-Getting a home update. Take a seat and furniture first measurements and records on graph paper. Move furniture to the paper (saves your back) until you satisfied with the appearance, edit pieces that do not work. Look at the rooms, furniture, you need new paint colors, or slipcovers with an accent pillows, all a quick way to visual punch and a room design combine her .. Minimize Window Treatments attention back into the room and let the sun in.

-Simple furniture rearrangement can bring new life to a tired space. Float sofas and coffee tables away from walls for a designer look. Use Abgepasst to anchor furniture groupings on bare tile and wood floors. Place groupings of candles and clear glass sphere filled with natural potpourri, fresh fruit or glass crystals on the side and coffee tables.

possibilities Discover organize daily needs room. Considerable square wicker baskets or stainless steel or brass can organize magazines, remote controls and toys. Books give a good insight, but they differ in some laying down and stood some up.

-Fresh flowers and green plants complete each room. Do not be too fussy with flowers and plants, their basic beauty should be featured in simple containers without ribbon. Natural stones or bark, the earth gives them a finished look. No silk flowers, period.

Homes should look comfortable. Comfort is the ultimate luxury and buyers love it and want to stay. So, if you try to take a decision, let comfort rule. Comfort is feeling like you can sit on the sofa, floor or window seat and feel at home in your best Sunday or Friday night pajamas.

lighting can make or break a room. To hell and it looks like a film set and too little like a creepy bar. Use a variety of table, floor and built-in lighting, use appropriate watt bulbs. My rule of thumb is that the sun, the lighting is expected to increase, and how it is, it should it.

-Wallpaper is considered fill-in-the-blank decoration. No two people have the same taste in this moment would-be decorator. If there are more than three years old, take it down and paint in a neutral color. And wallpaper boarders are out.

-Clean is comfortable and elegant. Buff hardwood floors, clean tile, cabinets, polish and do not forget the windows. Cleanliness is the foundation for a beautiful room and can overcome a room with problems.

-Every house must have a good sofa, comfortable chairs, a retreat to get away, natural light, atmosphere and practicality.
