We think these blinds would go well with a neutral palette to make the blinds a key feature in the space, leaving them to speak for themselves.
- Make a few small, basic adjustments to each room
Even just a few small tweaks to a room can make a big difference. Take adding a rug onto an empty floor, or adding a detailed lamp shade to an uncovered light fixture, for example. Both are simple, affordable home improvements that won’t break the bank, but may add that final touch to your home interior.
In this room, the space would look much different without the rug vs with the rug.

Now, imagine the room without the rug… as you can imagine it would look like a totally different space altogether. Why don’t you try the same when reimagining your new space!
Minor home improvements can go a long way. For instance, a paint job can instantly give your living space a refreshed look. If you are looking to increase the probability of landing a buyer soon, or thinking about selling your property in the near future, make sure to stick to neutral colours, as their preferred style may differ from your own.
You may also want to consider your home’s décor. Through opting for simplistic and sophisticated pieces, you are investing in pieces of furniture or decor that could last a lifetime. The same advice goes for curtains and blinds. For instance, patterned roller blinds and beautiful linen curtains are visually appealing, making potential buyers much more interested in your property. Generally, make sure you are leaning towards making everything neutral to cater to different buyer personalities, or go as bold as you like if you are purchasing your new home!
- Keeping your home repaired and free of any damages
The condition of your home is not only important for the look and feel of your house, but is also a major factor for potential homebuyers, and almost definitely a question that will be asked by any home-viewers. Future buyers will be keen to look into the functionality of your home appliances and any repair work that they will need to incur.
As such, a homeowner must ensure the proper maintenance of their home. Repairs should be dealt with promptly and professionally to ensure that the home is not only looking good, but functioning well too. For instance, professional repair of your roof, water heaters, and the air conditioning units are some of the proper maintenance tips that put the minds of potential buyers at ease, and may create a quicker sale.
Buyers need to be ensured that your property is performing well, and will be a low-maintenance venture so they can justify a higher asking price of the property.
- Updating the exterior of your property
Oftentimes, the exterior of your property will be the first thing your guests or potential buyers will see when first visiting the property. Thus, it is critical that this space is of a good standard, and it adds to your property’s initial appeal. As a homeowner, it is essential that you install attractive features that improve the value of your home, and this does not exclude the outside of your home.
Contrary to popular belief, improving the exterior of your home can be very cost-effective. A well-placed lantern that provides proper lighting to pathways will not only increase the desirability of your home, but will also create an interesting feature that will be sure to grab the attention of your guests or home-viewers. Additionally, fire and water features are now a huge trending feature for homeowners today. With their eye-grabbing features, and interesting styles, they seek to provide something extra to your outdoor space, making it more than a simple pathway or garden. The trick is to look for options that fall within your budget, while also adding value to your home.
