Spruce up the inside with a coat of paint, even just painting a master bedroom and main living area can add a breath of fresh air into any home.
Splash a little colour inside. Choose colours that reflect the lifestyle of your property and open up the space in a room. Ensure colours work with the architecture and are appealing to your potential clients. You may wish to pick up your linen colour scheme in the feature wall.
Keep furniture and furnishings simple, clean and uncluttered - remember lots of people will be walking through your property during open house inspection. Stop purchasers pacing up and down a small room by furnishing it accordingly.
Use mirrors and lamps to create optical illusions of space in small dark areas or to reflect interesting colour schemes and furniture in the room. Small rooms don't only have to be marketed for kids with bunk beds! or turned into a nursery!. Try using a day bed. Create a sense of functionality and organization within a small environment.
