Why would your décor matter to today’s homebuyers? Décor strongly determines the ambiance, era, and overall attractiveness of your home. Tastes change with time; lifestyle aphorisms, wall-to-wall carpet, dust ruffles on couches and beds, and other “outdated” décor can be easily updated to make your home more appealing. Get rid of:
Matching furniture sets, especially fast furniture. The look today is more curated and blended, with furniture and accessories collected from different parts of the world and from different periods.
Out-of-touch opulence. Displays of silver, tea services or other relics of the servant-centric past; faux glamour from mirrored coffee tables and side tables; and fake fur throws and pillows.
Too much of one element. E.g. paneled rooms, bordered wallpaper, or the same boring, neutral paint color throughout the house. A mix of bold color, fabrications, textures, and patterns is far more interesting.
Themed décor. E.g. moose images and buffalo plaid for mountain homes, or starfish coasters and canoe paddles in coastal homes.
Lounge chairs and massage chairs. These guilty pleasures are best left to the den or bedroom.
