Love at First Sight

create

a feeling . . .

Create the right “feeling” to rent out your space. In other words, make your space a “love at first sight”.

Prospective renters need to visualize theselves in your space. A comfy looking bed invites the viewer to flop down at it. A beautiful kitchen suggests cooking might be fun. A well appointed living space infers complete comfort and relaxation.

These features can be achieved by color, texture, stylish and practical furniture that demonstrates the effort someone has put into design.

Focal Points

Hello slippers and a glass of wine

1. Choose a focal point—a fireplace or windows with a view are the usual choices and position your seating arrangement around it. And remember: You want prospective renters to imagine themselves actually living in and using your space. Arrange seating areas where they sit comfortably and see something exciting, an art piece, or a beautiful view.

2. Create a Vibrant and Seductive Ambiance: Make your home a visual delight with vibrant and charming décor items. Add splashes of color with stylish ceramics, decorative cushions, and throws. Beautiful ceramic bowl centerpieces can be a focal point on their own. These enchanting touches will surely captivate potential renters and make them fall in love with the space.

Bedroom: king or queen?

3. When designing the bedroom, consider the balance between space and comfort. Opt for a king-sized bed if your space allows, ensuring there is ample room to move around comfortably. Save space with wall lighting, serving as both functional and stylish reading lamps. Custom closets will keep the bedroom sleek and minimalist, eliminating the need for additional dressers.

Ambiance: Make your home a visual delight with charming décor items. Add splashes of color with stylish decorative cushions, and throws.  Enchanting touches will surely captivate potential renters and make them fall in love with the space.

Master the Art of Lighting:

4. The right lighting can transform your space into a warm and cozy haven. Use table lamps and wall sconces in bedrooms for a more intimate ambiance.

In living rooms, incorporate at least three sources of light, such as overhead ceiling lights, arched floor lamps, and tall floor lamps, to add depth and warmth. A stunning chandelier in the dining/living space will elevate the overall ambiance, making it feel luxurious and sophisticated visual delight. 

Decorating is much more than filling a room with furniture. It's about filling a home with warmth and symmetry

Embrace the Scandiflorian style

5. When you are looking for a light and airy space, discover the allure of “Scandiflorian” style which blends bohemian, mid-century and industrial elements for a signature look. Emphasize clean lines, natural fibres and a soothing color palette to create a harmonious and inviting atmosphere that renters can’t wait to live in.

 

AVOID!

These design elements should be avoided as they are often hard to keep clean and/or going out of style as well as undesired by renters.
