Christmas is a great time to give your home extra appeal inside and out when selling your home. The rule of thumb is to keep it non-religious so you do not offend any other religious denominations. Using fresh greenery in wreaths on doors and urns are always crowd pleasers. There is nothing more uninviting than walking up to a front door and seeing dead flowers from the summer or frozen black earth in a discoloured flower pot/urn.
When decorating inside, think simplicity and in themes to keep your home looking current and up to date. Reproduce/copy a colour accent throughout the rooms or connecting rooms. If your accent is red, then don’t try to introduce blue in the same room or connecting room. Accent pieces like throw pillows, or accent curtains are a great way to brighten up the holiday time (but in the same colour). Also keep things simply, and think symmetry. Decorating in threes (3’s) is a good rule to use. Instead of putting one candle on a mantel or table, put out three candles, or two groups of threes on either side . Instead of putting out one large vase with flowers on a table, put out three smaller ones (but keep the flowers one of a kind per vase). Don’t forget to add a little holiday cheer to your bathrooms and bedrooms as well!
