An inviting and open bedroom is sure to entice potential buyers into fighting for your property come sale time. Think luxurious and relaxing, ensure each bedroom is a calming retreat.

Crisp & Elegant

Fresh bedding is non-negotiable, choose calm, restful, colours such as white, taupe, grey and charcoal - preferably in a simple stripe or solid colour. You can also freshen up bedrooms with a simple glass vase of flowers or an indoor plant. This can bring energy into your rooms, and even draw attention to features you want buyers to notice.

Display & Store

Storage space is top on most homebuyer's lists. Be sure to de-clutter wardrobes and drawers, and remember, a closet that is only half full looks much larger than the same wardrobe stuffed with your winter coats and out-of-use suitcases. Keep your draws, and wardrobe doors closed and your bedside table free of bric-a-brac and personal items.

Tidy & Functional

Clean and check everything. Clean all windows and fly screens, dust skirting boards and picture rails, vaccum thoroughly and make sure your light shades are spotlessly clean. Check that all light bulbs and blinds work and test all doors for squeaks. We also recommend a steam clean of carpets and a polish of floorboards.
