The goal is to create a blank canvas buyers can mentally move into. Use light neutrals—grays, beiges, soft whites. Paint it fresh. Keep it seamless. Use consistent tones across open spaces to create flow and cohesion. Matching curtains to wall color? Pro tip—it makes rooms feel bigger.
Minimize to Maximize
Less stuff = more space. - Period.
Buyers want flow, not furniture hoarding. Store extra pieces. Create walking paths. Showcase square footage. Every inch of space should feel intentional—not like overflow storage from your last decade of living. And closets? Oh, they’re looking. Keep them organized, decluttered, and 30% e d 30% empty so buyers can picture their stuff, not trip over yours.
Function Every Room
That weird bonus room stacked with moving boxes? That’s a missed opportunity. Stage every space with purpose. Office, reading nook, yoga room—whatever fits. Every room should say: “This space matters.” No room left behind.
The Subtle Art of Emotional Triggers
When the bones are right, it’s time to pull the heartstrings.
A cozy throw on the chair. A well-placed plant. A breakfast tray on the bed. These cues turn a house into a home.
