To help simplify it, follow our 7 tips! We’ve listed out our top styling ideas to create a home that sells. And, a tip to keep in mind as you go through your home — take an objective look at everything as if you were a buyer. Put your feelings and memories aside, and imagine you are seeing your home for the first time. What would you change?

01 First Impression: Step up your curb appeal with a freshly cut lawn, trimmed shrubs, seasonal flowers, and a power-washed driveway.

02 Plants, Plants: … and more plants! Add life to your home with plenty of healthy plants placed throughout.

03 Fresh Paint: Adding a fresh coat of paint can refresh your space and give it new life. Neutral colors all the way.

04 Sparkling Clean: Dust, clean, vacuum, and scrub your home, even inside cupboards. Buyers look everywhere.

05 Declutter: Only keep items that add function or beauty, and remove photos, so they can see themselves living there.

06 Style Focal Points: Style important areas of your home with quality items and homewares. Help them see the vision.

07 Light & Airy: Open windows, blinds, and curtains to let the natural light and air inside. A bright space is a welcoming space.
