BEDROOMS SHOULD FEEL LIKE A SANCTUARY When it comes to bedrooms, again, size matters. After looking at the number of bedrooms, buyers are most interested in how big they are. Use neutral colours to make your bedrooms seem larger and reduce the amount of furniture to maximise the feeling of space. Also be smart when arranging furniture. If you have a small bedroom, use a double bed instead of a queen or bunks in a children’s room. You can never have enough storage in a bedroom, and that is why you will see people peeking in cupboards and wardrobes at an open house. To reduce the demands on limited space in small bedrooms, consider having built-in robes installed, but keep the interior simple. Indeed, if you include all the bells and whistles, you won’t recoup the costs. Less is more. However large your bedrooms are, they will look small if cluttered with all your personal knick-knacks. When comes the time to sell, make sure you clear away the clutter and personal items such as photos. That doesn’t mean your rooms need to look impersonal. MORE STORAGE AND LESS CLUTTER Buyers want a bedroom where they can escape the worries of life. Lighting is crucial in creating the right atmosphere. To give a romantic feel, consider adding dimmer switches and bedside lamps. If you are having evening viewings, quality lighting is essential. You can make your bedroom a sanctuary by adding a little luxury with fresh linen, puffed up pillows and extra cushions, a comfy chair, and a few unique features, like candles and perfume bottles. All these can contribute to making the room feel like home for potential buyers. CREATE A SANCTUARY ATLAS 14
