Easy Ways to Make Your Home Look Spacious
When it comes to marketing a property, space is ace. So follow these tips to ensure your property feels spacious and wows buyers.
First impressions count in the property game, so it’s crucial to consider how buyers will feel when they step inside your home.
Will they be struck by how airy and spacious it is (and assume they’re getting value for money)?
Or will they be reminded of a dingy junk shop rammed with furniture and bric-a-brac (and run a mile)?
Here’s how you can ensure your home feels roomy and relaxing for buyers.
1 Think about proportions
Cast a critical eye around your home to see if you have too much furniture on show. Look out for items not in proportion to the size of your rooms. Does your favourite comfy armchair swamp the room? What about the dining table, sofa or sideboard? You may need to put some large items in storage during the viewing process.
2 Don’t ignore the little things
You’d think that shelves filled with tiny ornaments would have a minimal impact. But lots of little items crammed together add up to create a cluttered feel. So box up your bric-a-brac (you can take it to your next place) and keep just a few items on display.
3 Create a sense of flow
Once you’ve cleared out your bulky items, consider the layout of your furniture. For example, place furniture away from walls to create a sense of flow so buyers can walk around the room without bumping into anything.
4 Good lighting
Open the curtains to allow natural light in, boost brightness levels with lamps and use mirrors to bounce light around the room.
