White-Out

Remember that mint color that was popular in 2007? It was never meant for a wall. A white-out is property catharsis, an easy way to bring it back to neutral and let others picture themselves in your home. The floors don’t have to be white, but they should be cleaner than your mother’s language.

Remove yourself from the space. Your space should be like a Saturday morning. What do you want? Light instead of alarm clocks. Flowers on the table, not dust. And why would someone else’s stuff be in your home?

Keep Things Glassy

It’s like the old Mad Men adage: How do you tell a biker from a designer? The glasses. Glass can do a lot to transform a room. Large mirrors, simply framed art and unencumbered windows open up rooms that might otherwise seem cramped or dark.

The Final Frontier

Space. Room to breathe is a commodity in high demand. Who actually has the room to do yoga in front of the TV or plop down in the middle of the floor after a long day? It’s easy to overcrowd, but when you’re attracting people to your space, unclutter and be brutal! Less is more.

The Most Dangerous Room in the House

Real talk: People will spend a lot of time in the bathroom. Loads of clean, plush towels and nice soap are simple purchases that make a surprisingly strong first impression.
