Create an Attractive Outdoor Space
Attract buyers to your home by designing and styling outdoor spaces as an extension of living spaces – such as lush, colorful gardens, relaxing patios or cozy backyard entertaining areas. How you design and style an outdoor area will determine its appeal; with the appropriate furniture, accents and decor you could transform an ordinary backyard into one that compels potential buyers to make offers!
Starting off by selecting proportional pieces that complement both your new house’s outdoor floor plan and aesthetic preferences is an effective strategy used by professional designers, enabling them to combine a variety of looks in an appealing manner.
After creating an outdoor space that meets practicality requirements, such as seating and dining areas, divide it up into sections based on practical needs – seating and dining should be separated accordingly to make the area more livable for potential buyers and help them envision themselves using it with their family. Benches make excellent seating solutions or accent tables.
Add decor and accent items that enhance both the functions and visual appeal of the furniture, such as an area rug that provides soft surfaces for bare feet and outdoor lighting that creates a welcoming mood. Throw pillows and blankets with pops of color that coordinate with one another completes the look, while potted flowers bring their pleasant fragrance and cheerful hues while storage tables or umbrellas add function while adding additional colors to the scene.
Create a Great First Impression
Attractive outdoor settings are one of the first things prospective home buyers will notice upon arriving to view a property, setting the mood and making them feel as if they have entered an oasis far removed from daily stresses. Make the space feel inviting by adding seating, beautiful potted flowers or ferns, decorative pieces and small touches such as lighting. Keeping it simple so buyers can visualize how they’d use their new space can only help the process further.
