As your Boston Real Estate agent, not only can I dramatically decrease your real estate time commitment by completing research and analytical work necessary for the success of your home sale or purchase, but I can also offer you tips and advice on how to rise above the competition!For example, now that trees have bloomed and flowers are bursting up from gardens all around Boston, my advice is to incorporate the perks of spring into your home. Whether you’re hosting open houses in the process of selling your home, you’re a new homeowner in the Boston area looking for decorating ideas, or you just want to add a fresh look to your current home, these tips will brighten any interior!
Flowers
If anything speaks spring, its flowers. They appear on trees and bushes, in gardens and straight from the ground, and in hanging baskets and pots. By adding flowers to your home’s spring décor, you’re creating congruency between the outside and inside.
• Pick fresh flowers from your garden and display them in a vase on your kitchen or dining room table, as a centerpiece, or on your fireplace mantel or end table, as an accent. Make sure to continually provide them fresh water so the only aroma you smell is the fragrant flower itself! If you don’t have a garden, you can purchase fresh flowers from a local florist.
• Faux flowers last all summer, don’t create allergies and can look as bright and beautiful as the real thing, without the work! Opt for bright flowers and plants that are in season now, such as pansies, lilacs or hydrangeas. You could even go all out and spray a sweet fragrance on the flowers, fooling everyone into believing they’re real!
• Display a flowered floor plant inside, such as a small tree or bush. You could set up the display in a room’s empty corner or next to a piece of furniture. This is ideal for people with large houses and ample floor space. A cherry blossom is a great in-season option.
Color
When winter converts into spring, bright and pastel colors naturally erupt from the earth. By add color to your interior, you’re bringing that bright, feel-good ambiance inside. According to professional fashionistas, hot color trends for spring and summer 2011 include honeysuckle pink, bright orange, yellow, tropical blue and lavender.
• Add colorful accessories to an otherwise neutral room! This is perfect for someone trying to sell their home. You’re keeping to the neutral décor that fits all homebuyer tastes, but you’re making your house stand out and remain memorable with eye-popping bursts of color. This could include pillowcases, throw rugs, kitchenware and vases.
• Rather than filling a room with colorful accessories, outline one with trendy artwork. Make your walls come alive with art that incorporates these hot spring colors. Possibilities are endless! You could purchase paintings that boast splashes of bright colors, or you could frame your own photographs of earth coming to life.
• Take a risk by painting an entire room one of these trendy colors, or try for just one accent wall. Yellow really brightens a room, making it great for bathrooms or kitchens, and lavender softens a room, perfect for bedrooms and living rooms. Take caution with this one if you’re selling a home. Homebuyers tend to choose neutral over wild.
As your Boston Real Estate agent, my advice to you is to have fun with this. Not only can color spark increased interest in your house by potential homebuyers, but it can also increase the joyful ambiance for everyday living. We can’t all spend our days outside in nature, so why not bring some of it inside? Boston is beautiful this time of year, the Boston Real Estate market has come alive and I am here to help you with all your real estate needs. Life is great!
