Painting
The painting of our house is something that has a lot of impact on the client. We must understand that a person is able to decide in the first 90 seconds whether or not to buy the house. This is why something as simple as painting becomes decisive. Few people buy a house to continue investing money in arrangements, so the first impression that your property makes is worth a lot.
Interior decorations
Interior decoration or “home staging” is another factor that has a high impact on a customer’s decision. You can see ideas on how to decorate your home, but the usual thing is to always start with a deep cleaning.
Cleaning the floor, the windows, removing the cobwebs and letting in as much natural light as possible will give your home a good bonus. Then, assess whether the furniture in the different rooms contributes to the room. In a room of 10 m2 having two sofas may consume a lot of space and not contribute to the whole. So it is recommended to leave one, to avoid repetition, decreasing the feeling of crowding and providing spaciousness to the room.
It may be time consuming but will generate significant savings. Remember that it is important to invest our resources, time and energy wisely to live happier.
