Drawing attention through smart aesthetics and decor is something that applies to every market, not just the real estate market. However, when it comes to real estate, decor takes front and center when you are trying to attract buyer attention when your home is up for sale. Decor could make or break a buyer’s interest. While there are a lot of details a buyer looks for when they are searching for property they may make an offer on, their first impression and initial gut reaction is dictated a lot by decor and aesthetics. Here are 3 fool-proof ways to draw home buyer attention with your home decor and make sure you hit the mark on your property’s first impression with potential buyers.
Keep it as simple as you can:
While this may seem counter-intuitive, having as little decorative pieces or decorations in general as possible is easily number one when it comes to attracting buyer attention with your home’s decor. Looking barren isn’t the way to go either, but somewhere closer to barren is, in fact, the answer. The less you can possibly get away with to keep things attractive, stylish, and decorated, the better. Keep as much open space as possible and you’ll be more likely to attract buyers who can see their own style within the empty space.
Clean and white is classic (and fool-proof):
Stay away from intense color combinations. When in doubt, go clean and white. This is the smartest way to stay stylish and attractive to any buyer’s particular taste. You don’t want to put off a buyer that dislikes an intense color palette who would otherwise be a perfect candidate for purchasing your home. Adding only pops of color here and there, and keeping complementary colors in mind when you do, will go a long way with the attractiveness of your home’s decor.
Go local :
Adding some artwork is definitely something to consider, still. One or two interesting (but fairly simple) pieces will add some value and uniqueness to the decorative aspect of the interior of your home. When choosing what pieces to include while you’re decorating and staging, consider looking into artwork by local artists. A lot of what attracts buyers to a home is the location. For instance, if your home for sale is one of the houses in Orlando, you can find a local Orlando artist and feature one of their pieces in the decor of your home. This ties your home even more with the location and creates an intangible sense of community that is both attractive and valuable to a home buyer. When you’re setting up your home to start attracting home buyers, less is certainly more, and being smart about the piece you do pick to include in your decor or the colors you pick for your decor goes a very long way. Keep these 3 tips in mind for ways to draw home buyer’s attention and you will be well on your way to attracting the perfect buyer and closing on your home.
