There is a wealth of research on how long first impressions take – results quote between 7-60 seconds!
So consider this when preparing your home to sell and think about how your home feels to a complete stranger when they step through your front door for the first time.
Dressing your hallway sets the scene in an instant, so really use this space to hook your buyer in!
Creating a warm welcome starts at the door step – with a ‘welcome’ mat that will keep the step tidy and shows your home has personality from the get go.
Once inside a mirror is a must – your buyer will see themselves in the space and can imagine how it feels to come home.
Leave a hook free for their coats and ensure the area is clean, tidy and well lit.
If your flooring is tired and budgets are restricted, throw down a stylish runner that leads the eye into the house and also covers any ageing floor or carpets.
Finally add some decorative touches to add interest – hallways are often a narrow and forgotten space – so add home fragrance and faux flowers and plants to add colour and homely scents.
