The Rantings of an Interior Decorator!! Glam up your Home to Sell Fast!!

I walk into houses Daily!! Here are a few tips on how to help sell your home fast with easy steps! 

Ceiling Fan over a Dining Table

       Unless the table is bathed in hot summer sun most of the year, who wants to serve a hot meal that will be cold in 15 seconds?

       Empty Bookshelves

       Empty bookcases make a home feel soulless. Technically, I realize homes don’t have a soul, but folks tend to connect to a home at that level.

Artwork Hung at “Eye Level”

Just whose eye level are we talking about? Mister basketball star or Miss pretty ‘n petite? The only time “eye level” applies is in a foyer or hallway, where one is never sitting. There, the rule of thumb is that the top of the frame should never be level with or higher than a door or window frame. We spend out time sitting in most rooms, so the artwork should be hung in relation to the furnishings, providing balance and color. You can feel the difference.

Wait, did you say vent?

The slats on a return air vent need to be slanted so we don’t see the unfinished wall behind it. Another simple fix!
