Whitewash your home

If your home features a range of bright, bold colors, or crazy patterns, then you might want to consider whitewashing the paintwork. The fact is that not everyone shares your taste in home decor, and bright or garish decor can put potential buyers off. Plus, darker colors can make rooms feel smaller. Spend a weekend painting the entire property in neutral colors, creating a more neutral space. If you can’t afford to hire a professional painter, make sure to do a good job – no one likes sloppy paintwork.

De-personalize the space

The key to selling success is creating a space that potential buyers can visualise themselves living in. The problem is that seeing your personal effects dotted around, from family photos and unique pieces of wall art to feature walls, can make this hard for potential buyers to do. So it’s best to de-personalize your home as much as possible, be removing all personal items. This will give the buyers more of a neutral space to work with.
