1. Enhance the elegance of rooms with dark walls by adding good lighting.
2. Downsize in shelving trinkets and only display the ones with
interesting shapes and colors.
3. Light colored sofas and chairs may not be practical for day to day living with
children and pets. If soiled or stained, consult an upholstery professional and
maintain the fabric with regular spot cleaning.
4. Display items on a table or dresser in different angles or curves and also ones with both
a shiny and matte texture.
5. Enhance a family room that lacks a feeling of warmth and friendliness by repositioning
furniture to make the center of the room a focal point for interaction.
6. Wall art is best displayed at a level easily observed whether someone is in a standing or
sitting position.
7. An appealing room or area has only one focal point that makes a statement and creates a
balance. ex. a carpet popping with color, an inviting fireplace, or the placement of a large
mirror in the center of a wall.
8. Tone down a white kitchen by displaying colorful pots and pans, appliances or cooking
utensils.
9. For all the fans of throw pillows, it is recommended to minimize two on a sofa, one on
a chair and two to three on a bed. It may not be easy to relax on lumpy pillows without
tossing to the side.
10. A home that has not been updated in several years, may be reinvented with a fresh coat
of paint, rearrangement of furniture from one room to the next, new bedding, curtains,
natural plants or a colorful flower arrangement. Fresh flowers are usually a plus.
If you were thinking of selling your home, these minor touch ups may want to make you
stay and also give a potential buyer an urgency to purchase!
