While there are many things that homebuyers are looking for when searching for a new home – generally, it is safe to say that they aren’t looking for something tiny and cramped.
You might have also noticed that most Orlando real estate listings include the words ‘spacious’ and ‘large’. Even if a buyer doesn’t want a huge home, they would still like to avoid being cramped in a place that has no potential for a spacious vibe.
Here are a few tips that can make your home look much bigger:
Clear Off the Clutter
While this one’s right up there with ‘eat your vegetables’, it is precisely true. Clear unobstructed floors and spaces to make your home feel larger. It is also the number one thing on this list. After you have cleaned up, you will be better able to assess where your home needs most of the work.
Get a bin and walk around your house grabbing anything that is not in place. Table and counter tops should only have one or two pieces for decoration and the floor should be clean of all things like toys, magazines, etc.
Use Light Colors
Small rooms need as much help as they can get when it comes to light. If you are repainting before selling, choose reflective, light colors like whites and grays. Although you may prefer a dark purple, it won’t help open up a room like lighter options.
Make Use of Mirrors
As mirrors reflect light, they will instantly make a room look larger. This is one of the most important tips if you are getting ready to sell as it doesn’t take much investment to add a few well-positioned mirrors in your home.
If you are already low on budget, use mirrors that are spread out through all parts of the house and position them in primary points of interest.
Using Furniture to Create Space
The positioning of your furniture plays a key role in deciding how big a room will feel. There is no need to purchase new furniture for this. Larger furniture can look perfect in a smaller room as long as it is placed appropriately. Make sure that it doesn’t block any walkways, creating a sense of flow automatically makes a home look bigger.
All of these tips can be easily applied when you are ready to list your home and open it up to potential buyers. People who are willing to buy will remember their first impression of your home; which is why you want to make sure it looks its best.
