Top 5 tips to sell your house

Why buy new when used is just as good? Building a house takes up time, money, and space and takes a long time to sell because of how much money was put into the house. Buying a used house saves money and you can make it like brand new; when people are searching for houses they're looking for nice and cheap houses. Here's a couple tips that can make your house brand new for the market.

GO NEUTRAL
Bold colors don't sell, but painting all the rooms in the home neutral gives the "new" home owners a chance to make it unique. "Painting your home has got to be up there on the chart rundown of tips because it is something we can all do," said host Clive Pearse.


DECK IT OUT
A living room which happens to be outside increases the money. People want that feeling of a house inside and out. "People are buying square footage, so tend to your backyard and make it a usable space," advises designer Toniya Nayak.

MAKE IT ALL ABOUT THE BED
The headboard draws much attention and makes the room/bed more fancy. "When a buyer walks into a master bedroom, they are expecting to see luxury, to see comfort, to see elegance," says real estate expert Bethany Souza.

COOK UP YOUR KITCHEN
Up grading your kitchen will bring more money in. The heart of the home is considered to be the kitchen, the kitchen can make or break your sale. "If you want to put money into your home before you sell, put it into the kitchen," advises real estate expert Donna Freeman of the L.A. team.

COMPLETE THE PICTURE
Finishing a room that is unfinished will bring in the money once on the market. "You're more likely to get top dollar if your house is move-in ready," says LaPorta. 


These tips will bring in the money. There are many more tips that are very helpful as well but these are just five I liked. Make sure to be resourceful when selling or buying a house. Remember why buy new when used is just as good!

Under the sea with spunk

My sea inspired room is called under the sea with spunk. The room is brought together by unity with the sea inspired room. The teal, coral, and green show how many different colors are in the sea. There are a variety of things in my room, including the different visual textures and tactical textures. The different colors also allow a variety of colors.

Proportion and Scale gone wrong

Rhythm

Radial Rhythm: Rug, Chandelier, and Clock.
Repetition Rhythm: The pillows, wallpaper, and wall decor.
Gradation Rhythm: Jars and boxes on the end of the couch.

Emphasis: Rug

Balance

Design Challenge

Space: The space allows people to walk freely but maintain comfortable.
Line: There are many different lines including diagonal and vertical. This really bring out the spunk in this waiting room making it cheer.
Form: Allows the object to take space up but also fit the room well. Form allows the appearance to look professional.
Texture: The texture from the frames on the wall give a funcky feeling and also the tactile rug would allow people to relax.

Textural effect

Visual- Couch, wall decor, cross wall decor, and the candles.
The effect they give off is a largely view of different eye textures, textures to the eye.

Tactile- Mirror, flowers, rug, and sculpture.
The effect gives these items a rough and poky feel when touching the items.

Audible- Chair,vase, pillows, and the rug.
Theses items give us a feel in how we hear them like smooth or rough sounding.

These textures give the room a certain feel for example this room comes off as being spuky and calm.

Elements of Design: Line

      The placement of these line are vertical. The effect it gives off is a springy feeling and give a different feeling. The feeling of the line give you a calm and soothing feeling.
      The placement of curved lines give off texture. The help you bring your eyes to the color and designs of the lines. The feeling is more fun and cheery kind of line because they are twisted and turned and the colors definitely bring in the eye.    These lines are horizontal line. The lines on the wall give off a sense of relaxation. The colors also help relax the homeowner. The feeling is calm and creative with the animal print and different set of lines that are given.       The placement of the diagonal lines would be as a wall paper and the mirror. The lines are giving a texture look, especially pointy with the mirror.These colors of the diagonal walls and mirror give off a sense of a whimsical feeling.

Color Forecast

 

I choose to use yellow, blue, and brown to inspire people in color forecast. Yellow suggests that ultimately hopeful about the future. Blue is associated with dependability, constancy and peace. Blue colors help sooth the mind and soul. Brown is neutral and is very common being paired with blue. Bright colors and neutral colord are the best to use to have a BRIGHT spirit. Textures and lines really helped  give a good bright feeling for this room.
