Hot Seller Tips
Consider Your Furnishings
If you need to lighten a heavy room, you can also do this by changing your
furniture. Here’s what I recommend:
•
•
Use light-coloured furniture and accessories rather than lots of dark
and heavy pieces as this will reflect the existing light around a room,
making it appear larger
Select furniture that has a ‘lighter’ design. You could choose a sofa
and chairs with open arms and exposed legs. This allows light to filter
under the furniture, making the room appear airier
Principle 5: Colour That Sells
Colours evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression. Many studies have
shown how strongly human beings physically react to different colours;
these findings have been used by marketers and advertisers for many years
to sell products (in fact, I completed a university thesis on this subject while
studying design). I won’t go into all the findings here, but the important thing
to know is that all human beings react strongly to colour, so when staging
your property you do NOT want to alienate any buyers by using the wrong
colours…that some buyers will love but others will hate.
