Accessories

Colour Scheme

The interior colour scheme sets the tone of the home and it should be finished in such a way as to appeal to the greatest number of home buyers. Anyone who is considering selling their home should therefore ensure that they have a neutral colour scheme.
Light

Kitchen

Vendors would make sure that kitchen cupboards and benchtops are not cluttered and are well presented. Cleaning titles, grout and any appliance on show is important before opening your home for inspection.
Bathroom
The bathroom is another important room for home buyers. Vendors should consider replacing older fixtures such as taps, handles and towel racks and consider repainting the bathroom ceiling. These inexpensive repairs can go a long way in making the bathroom stand out.
Light Fittings
