Refreshing your home for a summer sale or let!

Summer is here! It’s the return of those glorious months of warm weather, BBQs and Pimm’s.

While you’ve probably updated your wardrobe for the heat, have you thought about revamping the home décor to fit the new season? This is especially useful for those looking to sell or let, as a summer feel will be appealing to viewers! 
 
With the changing weather comes a flurry of new trends and must-have pieces and we’re here to help you welcome the summer into your home with bright and inspirational ideas.
 
Bedroom
When it comes to refreshing the bedroom it’s best to begin from a solid foundation of colour which allows for flexibility. Ensure the base elements such as wall design can complement various hues. Lighter, neutral tones are your best bet, as they offer the most versatility among the pallet.
 
Add a pop of fresh colour to the bedroom with summer bright bedding that will lighten up the décor. The striking colours are a fantastic way to make your bedding the centrepiece of your room if you’re working with little space or want to make subtle changes that are transitional for the season.
 
Splashing bright colours throughout the room requires matching accessories; we’d suggest investing in cushions showing off similarly hot ‘pops’ of colour. These small details are quick and easy to make changes as well as bring your theme together.
 
Living Room
One of our favourite living room trends is a beautifully retro light box; with a selection of letters you can create unique messaging for buyers or tenants at viewings. Taking inspiration from the classic cinemas of yesteryear, light boxes bathe the room in a warm ambience. Perfect for cuddling up on the sofa during those quiet movie nights in!
 
The living room can also benefit from the touch of new cushions, fresh for the summer. Choosing something that has tropical or floral prints are the perfect decorating idea to bring colour to your living room or conservatory space.
 
Meanwhile, chic lettered cushions are great for giving the room a personal touch that suits all modern settings. Contrast the brighter designs with monochrome for a quirky feel to the room that provides a unique style.
 
Kitchen
When it comes to the kitchen, things can be brought to life by adding charming little touches with quality and stylish dinner sets. Perfect for everyday use George has a great selection of decorative tableware that will make daily dining a stylish occasion. Finish the look with beautiful glassware for an added element of elegance.
 
Create a co-ordinated look by pairing kettles and toasters to the same theme, what better kitchen accessories to pair together? Finish your kitchen’s look by adding matching utensils and accessories.
 
You should also make sure that you give your home a deep clean if you want to make it a lot fresher. You’ll feel a huge relief when you get rid of those things that you have been hoarding and you’ll love how your home looks and feels. Don’t be afraid to replace things like curtains with made-to-measure ones that will really make a difference in the end. Then enjoy your summer home!

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

Selling for the first time can feel overwhelming. Everyone has advice, most of it conflicting. Here are the key questions to ask every estate agent, plus the step-by-step process you’ll go through to launch your home the right way.
