Wembley Homeowners: Simple Tricks to Make Your Home Look Bigger

When selling your property, the perception of space can be the difference between moving quickly or sticking on the market.

A spacious home feels more inviting and adds perceived value in the eyes of potential buyers.

The good news is that even if your home is compact, there are ways to make it seem bigger.

Here's four fab ways you can make your home appear roomier and more welcoming.

First Impressions Matter

As potential buyers step inside, their initial perception can significantly influence their decision. Is your home a breath of fresh air, or does it remind visitors of a cramped, cluttered second-hand shop? Achieving a sense of space starts right at the doorstep.

Strategic Furniture Placement

Evaluate your space and furniture. Oversized furniture can dominate a room and make it feel smaller. Consider the scale of your pieces—could a large armchair or cumbersome sofa be put into storage while you’re selling? Sometimes, less is more. Storing away bulky items temporarily can make a significant difference.

Detailed Decluttering

Small decorations and knick-knacks can clutter surfaces and make spaces feel confined. While it might seem that these tiny items are innocuous, together, they can overwhelm the space. Pack away most of your small ornaments, leaving only a few tasteful pieces to add character without clutter.

Go with the Flow (and Light)

Rethink the layout of your rooms. Allow for a natural flow by positioning furniture away from walkways and possibly from walls. This layout not only facilitates movement but also makes rooms appear larger.

Improving lighting is another crucial step; open curtains to let in natural light, add lamps to brighten dark corners, and place mirrors strategically to amplify light and create an illusion of more space.

#Lightenup

By following these tips, you can cost effectively boost the appeal of your property to potential buyers.

Another top tip when selling is to choose an estate agent willing and helpful enough to give you the time, expertise and advice to make your moving dreams a reality.
