Selling Your Home Using Seasonal Décor
It doesn’t matter what your home is like, it doesn’t matter how much you want for it, having Christmas decorations up in May is a turn off! But if you do like to decorate your home, keep the decorations seasonal. This can even help by making your home look more appealing.
SPRING
Spring is a time when everything in the world is coming back to life, the flowers are waking up and blossoming and the grey, dull, winter weather is starting to retreat. A great way to dress your home during spring is to add in a few flowers throughout the space. Flowers are not only going to be a little cheaper during spring, but they bring a touch of what is going on outside, into the inside of your home.
It is also worthwhile giving your garden a good spruce up during spring as there’s most likely going to be a lot of leftover dead plants from the winter, which is never going to be appealing to your prospective buyers.
SUMMER
When the summer comes around, it signals that it’s time to relax and get outside. So, arranging viewings in the summer month’s means you really need to take care of the outside of your property. It is a good idea to showcase your garden in the best light, show your viewers just how good it is for family time, for social gatherings and for relaxing in too. This is a definite advantage point for them.
One great thing about the summer is that there should be plenty of glorious sunshine, which means that if your home is particularly blessed with light, then make sure that you show this off the best that you can.
AUTUMN
Whilst summer is all about hanging outside and soaking up the sun, autumn is more about heading back inside. If your house is up for sale in the autumn months then take advantage of the fact that people are going to want to get cosy inside, by making your home incredibly inviting and welcoming. Think about ways to make as much light as possible come into each room as well as using all those warming colours that you think of when it comes to autumn, such as burnt orange and red tones. Try textured throws on the sofa and scented candles.
WINTER
It can be really hard to market a house during winter, not only is everything a bit more dull and grey during these months, but most people are focused on Christmas rather than buying a home. If you are trying to sell your home in the winter months, then do your best to make it as cosy and inviting as possible.
Show viewers how warm it is by making sure that the heating is up and pop some blankets around to show that you like to cuddle up. Don’t think that just because you are selling your home that you can’t have decorations up, in fact this can often be a great selling point to people in the run up to Christmas.
As you can see, no matter the season, there are plenty of things you can do to make sure that your home is as appealing as possible. Try these top tips to help sell your home, in any season.
