Selling House - Ideas For Kitchen?

Nat….your kitchen looks great just the way it is!

More than likely you will add a feature wall the next person will hate!

Neutral is best when it comes to selling, you are leaving a blank canvas for the next owner to work with and add their own colours and ideas to.
Your kitchen is very attractive, so don’t play with what already looks good.
Your home looks very well presented and VERY tidy!!!! A huge bonus for selling!
If you had an old tired kitchen I would agree, give it colour. But your’s is lovely.

Remember you have lived with it for a while so for you it looks boring, to the next person it may be PERFECT for them.

I see a block of blue in the back ground, for now leave it at that. By adding colour you could scare a potential buyer way…..they may think too much hard work, I like it cream!

You have said there are other feature walls dark blue, it looks a really nice blue, and for some too many colours in visual eye contact is too much to cope with.

Do you understand me? I hope so, don’t do the over kill. I have done many a home for resale and in my experience to cater for the broad public I have found less is best.

Concentrate on your new one, your existing home looks FINE!

MATT….exactly!!!!!

And i hear Lime green is making a comeback!!

Perth girl the kitchen looks great just the way it is, if you want to inject some colour then use accessories smartly to add a splash of colour here and there (flowers are always a good thing too)

I agree about leaving it.

When buying a house people like a blank canvas often and can imagine their own colours etc.

Good luck with the sale.

I had to learn how to do it...

My wife has a problem with visualization and conceptualization...

(I don't know if the second work is even real )

It makes it easier to sell her on ideas...

I'm also definitely with michelle 'perthgirl'.
Liven it up with maybe small potted ferns on the main & breakfast benches as a contrast & stick some cinnomen in the oven on viewing days.

Tips for Nat…..

When you have an inspection of your home there are a few things you can do to invoke people’s emotions while viewing your home.

1) The most important rule of all…..DE CLUTTER! Put away, even if in the garage, all the kids toys out of sight, anything that is unsightly….(not that you would have any of these!!!) anything a potential buyer would consider not relevant to their viewing.

2) The bathrooms are always a let down….remove blow dryers of the sink, excess makeup and creams. Replace with rolled up hand towels and a nice soap on the top. A potted or imitation Orchid is always nice as well. Keep it simple keep it sparse! Show off the assets of the room. NOT your goodies.

3) If there is time, a freshly brewed peculated coffee is always good standing in the kitchen. The aroma will last for ages.

4) If you have any lamps, turn them on. Always have your window dressings open, so viewers do not have to peer through to see outside…..everyone has a spark of curiosity. Keeping window dressing open it will make the room appear larger and it lets LOTS of light in.

5) Nothing to be said about your kitchen, but…nothing beats a big bowl of freshly coloured fruit. And just for the occasion go and purchase fresh cut flowers, and put them in nice glass vases, with coloured stones in the bottom.

All of these things you can take to your new home so it will not be waisted.
“Spot Light” is the best place for inexpensive and modern accessories.

6) Complementary coloured cushions on the lounge, but don’t go over board.

Its all about making you home feel homey and THE WORD…..COZY!!!!!
If you can pull that off, and the price is right, your house will RUNN off the market.

I hope this has helped……remember, as much as men like to look, it’s the little lady that has the last say!!!! So you must appeal to her! Not hard…..we all pretty much think the same.

LOL

Did you come to my open for inspections 3xb???
