So, you’ve wisely invested in some property, maybe refurbished or remodelled the property to increase the value of the property and you want to increase it’s value just a little bit more before selling it or renting it out. It’s time to furnish your property and get that extra bit of value in.

 Whilst some don’t consider furnishings when they’re looking to add value, furnishing a home before photographing and selling it can add extra value onto the property and get you a bit more money for all the effort you’ve gone to.

Selling a furnished property can be a lot more lucrative than selling an empty home and there is demand for furnished properties, according to In:Style Direct 80% of enquiries that agents receive are for furnished properties so the demand for furnished properties is clearly there and can be used to get more money from a sale or renting agreement.

Bring Extra Life Into A Room With New Blinds

First off the bat, a new set of window blinds, they’re easy to order and install and when you use an online made to measure blinds company they can be incredibly cheap sometimes, even up to 90% cheaper than buying from a high street retailer. Having a new set of blinds in each room will make your advertising shots look a bit better and if you include them in your property will help to add extra value to the property.

Dress The Bed

The bedroom for many people is the most important room in their home, so making sure the bedroom looks good at viewings and in advertising material is incredibly important, so when you’re getting ready to sell, make sure to invest in some nice bedsheets, they don’t need to be expensive, but having a nice looking bed will make the room as a whole look better increasing interest and the perceived value of the bedroom.

Get Extra Light & Space With Mirrors

Mirrors are a godsend for people wanting to sell their home, lighting and space are two of the most important things to consider when advertising a property and taking viewings. Mirrors help you maximise both light and space. By having a few mirrors around your property, they’ll reflect light off them making the room brighter and better for photos; and they’ll also create the illusion that the property is larger due to the fact mirrors make spaces look bigger, which can all be great for the advertising appeal and value of your property.

Make The Living Room Look As Comfy As Possible

When it comes to living rooms/lounges the most important thing for potential buyers/tenants is the comfort of the room, if your living room looks unwelcoming or uncomfortable you’ll have a hard time convincing someone to live there. So when preparing advertising material or viewings make sure the living room looks as comfortable as possible, so buying a few throw pillows to go on the sofa and a nice rug will go a long way in generating interest.
