Creating More Visual Space
Buyers want the most house their money can buy. A large house with a choppy floor plan and small rooms can feel less spacious than a smaller home with an open floor plan. A clean, well-maintained and spacious home is not only more marketable, but can often command a higher price.
Here are some things to do to visually create more space:
Position mirrors in the right places to make the room appear larger. Make sure the mirrors reflect what you want to see more of, such as a favorite painting or a lovely window. - Choose a light color scheme to help open up a room. White, cream, perl, gray, light beige, or a soft yellow seem more inviting and open because they reflect light.
- Clear out the clutter! Keep decorative objects to a minimum. Porcelain figurines are distracting and can be easily broken. Pick up newspapers and magazines. Put away, or pack away, unnecessary items from the countertops in the kitchen and baths. Clutter can make rooms seem smaller than they are.
- Minimize the amount of furniture you have in each room. Either sell it or store it away.
