If you’re looking to sell, you will naturally want to make sure your property is in the best condition possible before it goes to market. Every property has its own unique selling points but if yours is lacking something, why not implement some aesthetic changes that can transform your interiors and maybe even increase your selling price.
Feature walls
Giving your property a fresh coat of paint before you sell is a great idea, but a feature wall can really add that wow factor for buyers. Usually feature walls work best in shared living spaces or master bedrooms and can provide a striking contrast if styled well with contrasting furniture, rugs, and pillows. The right colour choice can also make a room seem bigger, or smaller, or warmer and more inviting and paint shops can give recommendations on what colours to choose to perform the function you need. Steer clear of anything too dramatic however, unless it’s in context with the rest of the property.
Graphic glass
A great innovation in home interiors, graphic glass is becoming increasingly popular as a way to personalise a space and create a unique feature. Most used as splashbacks in kitchens, graphic glass is created by printing a customised photograph or design onto a piece of glass that is then fitted behind the stovetop to function as any standard splash back would. From exotic foreign landscapes to world renowned works of art, graphic glass can bring in a new colour palette to your space, provide texture, depth and contrast in a way that can lift a tired kitchen wall. It can also be used in bathrooms and laundries or even as a feature piece in an entry way. The right image choice is important so as not to negatively contrast with existing counters and cabinets and of course it should be sized to be custom fit to the space its destined for.
Creative lighting
Changing light fittings and lighting in general can be a great way to improve the interiors of a property. Simple changes can be made, such as switching out the temperature of bulbs to enhance the space – cooler lighting works best in kitchens while warmer lighting is better for sleeping and living spaces. Light fittings with multiple directional spotlight-style fixtures allow you to control the direction of light within a space and therefore highlight certain features and dim others you may not want attention drawn to. A less than enticing room can be transformed with a uniquely designed light fitting – pendant lamps over a kitchen bench for example, or a bigger scale statement piece in the centre of a dining or living room, or entry way. You can even install voice or app controlled smart home lighting to level up your property and entice tech savvy, environmentally conscious buyers.
