Dress a bed to impress for house viewings
15/04/2011
Having matching bed linen on show can make a real impression when it comes to trying to sell a property, one expert has suggested.
Prospective buyers like to see hints of luxury, explained creativehomeseller.com's Trudy Mclindon, which is easily achieved with some crisp while bed sheets.
"Replace flat, tired cushions, make sure the bed linen is fresh and co-ordinated - you can take that with you to the new house," she told IOL Lifestyle.
Investing in a new bedside lamp may also pay off, while the bathroom should be free of toiletries and cheap supermarket soap dispensers, Ms Mclindon added.
The National Sleep Foundation recently found that people are more excited about going to bed when their linens are fresh.
Many respondents also identified that they sleep better on clean sheets, while 19 per cent said that making their bed has a positive impact on their resting patterns.
