They can take virtual tours of luxury homes on the Internet, read about the architectural feats of top designers in home design magazines and watch homes being re-designed, re-built and re-dccoratcd every week on television. Competitive sellers need to align their homes to standards of taste set by the media, and this means simplicity. The approach to your front door will be inviting if it is immaculate. Landscaping is a must - plant some flowering bushes and strategically place potted trees or plants around the entrance if the yard looks bare. Walkways and stairs must be kept free of debris left by children or pets. Make sure windows and window coverings are sparkling clean. Inside the home, remove every trace of clutter you can find on counters, shelves and tables. This includes books and magazines, knick-knacks, toys, dishes, decorative items and even your precious collectibles. Minimalism is much preferable to over-decorating. The furniture, lamps, plants, rugs and decorative art items you place in each room should enhance the best features of the room's architecture, rather than distract the eye. Against a palette of light neutral wall shades, arrange the objects in each room as if you were designing a furniture showroom, and your home will make a favorable impression on buyers.
