appeal as the property will not be sold or let if nobody is attracted to view the interior household. Window boxes and frames spruced up in a contrasting colour is a great way to brighten up the property exterior without spending too much capital. If the property has a hallway,
investors and developers would do well to paint it the same colour (or similar tone) as the outside of the property as this creates a consistent flow from outside to inside, making viewers feel welcome and more at ease. Colour psychology is a major
part of getting an interior right in order to sell or rent out the property immediately. ‘Foodie’ colours can be used in the kitchen, such as shades of beige, coffee and caramel, whereas green has been known as a colour that increases hunger and encourages us to want to eat, as does red and orange, therefore, these colours are ideal in a dining room. Darker colours should be saved
for more intimate areas of the property, but be careful when it comes to bedrooms and bathrooms as it is better to decorate with calming colours combined with touches of rich tones painted here and there to have a positive influence over rest and sleep. Main areas should be fairly light to
give the illusion of more space, which is where mirrors can play a
vital reflective role. Coloured walls make people feel happier, but again, by sticking to the lighter end of the spectrum, opting for a colourful feature wall or painting trims with contrasting shades, buyers and tenants will still be just as pleased with the interior design scheme. Once the whole property has been decorated and refurbished, each room will appear cleaner and brighter, which will automatically appeal to buyers and tenants as they will realise that the property has been regularly well-maintained, and to a very high standard. All lights should be turned on and
curtains and blinds need to be fully opened to let the natural light in. Also, if it is autumn or winter, fires should be lit or turned on when it comes to the estate agent and private buyer property viewings, and the heating temperature should be fairly high to give a warm air of welcome and cosiness. Finally, to make the house appear
even more impressive to potential buyers and tenants, it needs to be properly cleaned in every single nook and cranny, and any paint or new furniture smell should be eliminated with the use of scented candles or natural fragrances that are subtle and not too overbearing, open windows often do the trick, especially in warmer months when they can be left open.
