Up Your Outdoor Styling Game

Whether you have a small or large outdoor space to work with, it's essential that you highlight all it has to offer to maximise your property's value.

Tone & Style

When styled effectively, you can add real value to your property by highlighting how liveable and attractive the outdoor space of your home are. The addition of a beautiful outdoor chair, bench or daybed instantly transforms the area and gives buyers additional living space that they may have otherwise missed. You should also use planters, pots, outdoor cushions and rugs to add warmth and bring your outdoor spaces to life.

Garden & Bloom

Do you need to add life to your garden? If you answered yes, be sure to ask advice from a local nursery and consider adding plants that are suitable to your soil, shade and climate. There are two key things you should do when rejuvenating your outside areas for sale - firstly, remove and replace any dead or dying plants and replace them with lush, vibrant ones - it brings a real finished feel to the area. You should also invigorate your garden spaces with fresh mulch. Choose a colour that works in harmony with the area to show buyers that this yard is a complete and well-loved space.

Tidy & Perfect

When styling an existing garden, remove all weeds and trim grass regularly during your sale period; you should also consider using extra fertiliser to bring out the vibrant green in your lawn.

Remember to leave your yard as a canvas for future owners, put away any toys, broken or tired furniture as well as gardening tools. A fresh, clean outdoor space impresses buyers just as much as it does for the inside of your home.
