Easy ways to make your home more attractive to potential buyers. your closets down to what you’re actually wearing this season, packing away the rest. Ideally, all this extra stuff would head to charity (if in good, saleable condition), the garbage dump, or into storage. The more you store onsite, the more cluttered and small your home appears.

Getting ready to sell? Move your property fast – and for the highest selling price possible – with these easy, affordable staging tricks. These deal-sealing changes will make your home attractive to the largest pool of potential buyers, and the best part is, you can start at any stage in the game.

Paint!

Improve the lighting

Dollar for dollar, a fresh coat of paint gives you more bang for your decorating buck than anything else. Even if your current palette is relatively new, any scuffs or wear marks will channel an unkempt vibe. And an unusual colour choice – even if the height of fashion – may limit your home’s appeal. So break out that roller and slap on a couple coats of crowd-pleasing warm white or sand paint. Replace any dated light fixtures ASAP. How can you tell if it has to go? If it’s over 15 years old and looks it – yet isn’t a vintage (50-75 years old) or antique piece (older) – it should probably go. “Retro” is not something most home buyers are looking for.

De-clutter

Take the collectibles off the mantel, put the mismatched armchair into storage (or better yet, donate it) and pare

Give dated bathrooms a facelift

A nice bath helps sell a house but, don’t invest in a total renovation. Renos are costly, and you won’t recoup your costs unless you find your exact décor doppelganger. Bring an out-of-date bath up to speed with gleamingwhite walls whether via a fresh coat of white bath and kitchen paint or ceramic tile and new lighting. Buy neutral new shower curtains, a simple new bath mat and vanity set, and have fresh flowers in the room during open houses.

Take down curtains

Dated window treatments need to come down, pronto (if it’s over 10 years old, get rid of it). If privacy isn’t an issue, just leave the windows bare to maximize natural light and make the room’s dimensions seem more generous. Otherwise, buy basic-issue cotton or linen drapes from Linens ‘N Things or another wellpriced retailer. Always tie drapes back during viewings and open houses.

Put up mirrors

Update porch hardware

Make small rooms appear bigger and dark rooms seem brighter by adding an attractive wall mirror. A boxlike dining room will benefit from a leaning floor mirror and an entranceway more welcoming with a console mirror. Increase your home’s curb appeal by updating the hardware on your front porch. Buy a doorknocker or bell, mailbox, kick plate, doorknob and lockset in a set or in complementary styles. Brushed nickel is a neutral finish

that will never date, while oil-rubbed bronze is another favourite.

And the porch light

Spiff up the front yard

Update your porch light to coordinate with the new hardware, if needed. They don’t have to be an exact match or even come from the same period, but the finishes and styles should look pleasing together. Refresh your front yard according to the season. In spring, summer and fall, trim back dead plants and foliage and plant attractive annuals or perennials in flowerbeds. In winter, keep the walkway shoveled and cut back any tree or shrub branches damaged by heavy snowfall. A pair of planters flanking the front door and filled with seasonal arrangements instantly conveys pride of ownership.

Tend the backyard

Simple fix-its willmake the most of your existing yard layout. Replace any damaged boards on your deck or fence, and apply a fresh coat of paint, or stain and sealant if the finish needs it. Weed and groom your garden and add some perennials for colour when in-season. If kids’ toys are taking over the space, put some in storage.

2012 Summer Colour tips

Have a look at any spring and summer 2012 collection and you will see the following colours incorporated into this wonderfully popular, signature range. Pinks, blues, greens, yellows, Liz’ Tips purples and whites; each colour, carefully considered to match most home colour schemes one By: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind way or another. Maximum Impact with Minimal Investment

Just take a look at fashions: pastel colors are going to be big this spring and summer, but Delicious Mint is the trendiest of the bunch.. This frosty tint is a yummy mix between blue and green and has light and soft flavor. We love mint paired with metal tones of gold, silver and bronze as well as with other pastels. And don't forget the most famous duo of Mint and Chocolate Chip.

Select what pleases you and your family the most. Enjoy expressing yourself with color throughout your home.

Be cheeky with colour! Work vibrant pops of colour into a room – tangerine, citrine, indigo, plum – via accents, drapery and rugs. Ground it with a neutral backdrop.

Celery green is a natural for all-over color. But pick one with some Delicious Mint is a perfect sundae of casual modern & subdued yellow in it so it doesn't come off as juvenile mint green. And don't elegance, so much fun that you can skip the cherry on top. ignore the ceiling -- cover it in either white or a 50/50 mix of white with the wall color. Green: Big Picture

One rule of thumb: always test paint samples. It's especially a good idea when you want a muted green - what seems like khaki on the chip could be vibrant olive on the wall. But to prevent earthy greens from looking drab, keep potential accent colors in mind. Try pairing lighter shades of green with creams or butter yellows to wake them Don't settle for someone else's idea of what colors you should have up a bit. in your home. Starting with a single color, you can create an impressive combination. Take advantage of the color wheel to When using a bright citron: blue-green, coral, and raspberry colors choose hues that personalize your decor and decorate your space the as accents, makes the yellow-green hue all the more striking.

Celery green is a natural for all-over color. But pick one with some yellow in it so it doesn't come off as juvenile mint green. And don't ignore the ceiling -- cover it in either white or a 50/50 mix of white with the wall color.

Decorating with Warm and Cool Colors

One side of the color wheel shows cool colors, and the other side warm. You need only to look at the sky, the ocean or distant mountains to understand the nature of cool colors. Violet, blue and green can create the illusion of distance in your home, too. These colors are great for making small areas seem more spacious.

We associate red, orange and yellow with heat - think of bright sunlight or a crackling campfire. Use warm colors to add comfort and energy to your living space. Warm hues can create more intimate areas in large rooms. If your windows face north, you can counteract the coolness by adding warm colors. Monochromatic Colors

When choosing a blue, consider how often you're in the room. For example, don't choose a very bold blue for a living room -- you might tire of the color. Save it for a den or a playroom and pick a more serene tone for central living spaces Thankfully, the color blue goes with almost any wood trim. The paler the blue, the more versatile, but for a foolproof option, any blue with walnut wood is gorgeous.

Frosty blues are elegant with soft creams and shiny accents such as glass. Take the chill off icy colors by teaming them with warm browns, reds, or oranges.

Natural wood tones, sandy beiges, and lime-wash finishes balance barely-there blue rooms. And don't forget about paint finishes. Chalky flat finishes are warm, while shiny blues will give a bit of a chill.

Reds & Oranges: Dramatically Dark

You can always play it safe by selecting tints and shades of the same color. The effect of this monochromatic color scheme can be Use a deep color such as chestnut or rusty red for dramatic effect in stunning. Keep in mind that later on it may be difficult to find a powder room or small den. When you have a really small room furnishings to coordinate with your room. where there's no way you're going to make it look big, make it more of what it is -- small and dark -- but make it dramatic. As we're freshening up our wardrobes for summer, incorporating bright hues, fun prints, and breezy textures, we're noticing that our Neutrals: From Blah to Beautiful digs could use a little facelift, too. And since nothing sounds as good as a beach getaway right about now, we've made that our point of Rethink beige. It runs the gamut from grayish mushroom to inspiration — essentially, we want coming home to feel like going greenish khaki to rich cafe au lait. If you're most comfortable in the beige area, use variations like those to change things up. on vacation. Bright pastels can be seen everywhere right now – in shoes, jeans, belts, scarves and clothing. And with most fashion trends they spill over into our homes. We like to follow our fashion trends through our soft furnishings like cushions and throws, bedding and pictures, and the easiest of all colour accessories - candles!

Where to Begin Creating Your Personal Color Palette

If you have artwork or another furnishing that you wish to showcase, you've already begun your selection. Otherwise, you may want to begin with your favorite color. Experiment with creating different palettes using the color wheel, available at most paint stores.

Nature provides an infinite source of inspiration. Take a look at plants in your yard or neighborhood. Maybe you want to use the colors of a peacock or tropical fish or of a favourite flower as your decorating theme...

Purple: Sweet Lavender

Once on the walls, paint colors intensify, and lavender is a strong paint color. A rule of thumb: Choose the top (and the lightest) color on the paint card when selecting lavender for the walls.

Blue: Wood Tones Partner

Searching for a new base color? Try turning to blue and use it the same way some people might use brown or black. For example, paint a room blue, then mix blue upholstered pieces with white or gray pieces and add touches of yellow, green and orange. Thankfully, the color blue goes with almost any wood trim. The paler the blue, the more versatile, but for a foolproof option, any blue with walnut wood is gorgeous.

Hire a REALTOR

A qualified, competent REALTOR® will help you navigate the myriad of decisions that arise when buying and selling a home. A REALTOR® provides value to the homeowner in many ways:

• Pays for all marketing and advertising costs.

• Gives an unbiased, realistic view of your home and your options.

• Handles all showings.

• Has the knowledge to help you ask the right questions.

• Adds experience and expertise in all aspects of the sales process including marketing, financing, negotiations and more. • Brings a network of known, trusted real estate professionals. If your REALTOR® doesn’t have the answer, he or she likely knows someone who does. • Always has your interests in mind so you always have someone on your side.

• Can handle and advise on all price and contract negotiations. • Provides you with all the possible options and opportunities without holding back.

• Unlike buyers and sellers, a REALTOR® has no emotional attachment to property.

This objective viewpoint will help you make the necessary changes to get your home sold. • Your time is valuable. A REALTOR® allows you to spend your time how you want.
