Whatever your target market is, give the room a more luxurious, expensive look, so that it displays a lifestyle that is “one up” from the property’s actual value.
People buy a lifestyle, not a property, so show them a place that they would like to show off to their friends and family.
Put expensive bottles of perfume in the room, make sure that all of the accessories are good looking.
Window dressings (curtains, blinds) determine the “class” of the room, more than anything else, so make sure these are as luxurious looking as possible.
The room should look, light, spacious, airy, luxurious, welcoming, and warm.
All the soft furnishings should be in your chosen colours, and plants, bowls of fruit, fresh flowers, and lots of light, can make the room look alive.
Switch all the lights on when showing the room (even during the day).
Make sure the room smells clean and fresh.
Add small structured furniture, e.g. a dressing table chair, small bedside tables for lamps.
Younger people prefer high contrast colours and accessories, and older people prefer more muted, and blended colours and accessories.
Add lighting in the form of lamps on either side of the bed, and the dressing table, LED strips behind the headboard to add a glow, fairy lights around the dressing table mirror, LED strips along the open shelving, recessed spotlights inside shelving, ceiling lights with a bright LED bulb. Lighting is what adds the biggest wow factor to a room, and if you haven’t got much natural light or the room is “ordinary”, layered lighting is the best way to create an impact.
Add framed pictures (in your selected colours) above the bedside lamps so that the lights highlight the pictures.
The more mirrors in the room the better e.g. full length dressing mirrors, dressing table mirrors, mirrors above fireplaces or mantle pieces.
Add candles, flowers (in opaque vases), and fruit (choose the colours of the fruit to complement the room), in opaque coloured fruit bowls.
Add house plants in smart pots.
Add a headboard, cushions and a bedrunner or throw in your chosen colours.
