Master bedroom, huge selling point!

By
Home Stager with Abella Home Staging & Redesign

Master bedroom, huge selling point when selling your home. Many buyers want a 5-star quality master bedroom when purchasing a home. As a redesigner and owner of Abella Home Staging & Redesign, this is one area, I noticed, that is usually neglected!!  It isn't difficult or expensive to achieve a high end look. Here are some easy step to achieving the bedroom of your dream!

1) Imperfection-don’t try to fight it, instead embrace and work around it.  Long narrow horizontal   windows can be a problem but if you get floor to ceiling curtains and hang the rod 6"-8" outside the window sill, that will give the illusion of wider windows.

Exciting Windows


Matchy, Matchy-this is one place you can and should match. Matching nightstand and lamps these will give the room a symmetric look and feel. This will enhance that soothing and serene feeling that we want to achieve.

Southern Living


Fabric-use fabric that can withstand stains. When selling your home try not to use bold colors, jarring patterns or Lacy fabric. If you using a pattern, make sure you repeat it and keep it simple.

Veranda


Color-when choosing sheet for your comforter, my rule of thumb is to match the bedspread. Too many color  are jarring to your sense. Make sure your wall color co-ordinates with your comforter and has a cohesive look.

Decorating Room

(You may love this room but not all buyers will!)


Be practical-don’t try to have a high fashion bedroom that only looks good but is difficult to live in. Be practical and make it livable.

(Beautiful!! Too difficult an upkeep!!)

Remember this is your bedroom, use items that will appeal to your sense. Limit the amount of furniture, especially if you're selling your home (over crowding is a huge problem in bedrooms) and if you can at all help it, don’t put your office in the bedroom. Too many times I've seen master bedroom used as storage areas!! This is a place to retrieve from your hectic life!! And remember master bedrooms are a huge selling point when selling your home!

Carmela- Buyers want to see that "retreat" for their master bedroom.  It doesn't have to take much but it's so important!

Hi Carmella--great post.  Buyers dream of these 5-star resort master bedrooms and the closer a seller gets to achieving this look the more likely to attract a buyer.  Great information here on how to easily achieve that.

Janet, I glad the post was helpful. I'm a firm believer in having that"look" not only fore resale value but because I think its a great place to retire after a long day from work.
