First impressions of your property can really make or break a deal. Ben Bambrough shares his expertise with his top-five tips on how home staging your property can help secure its sale.
Homeowners are increasingly becoming more aware of the importance of room proportions and maximising their space. A small room can actually look a third larger than it actually is simply by having furniture in it. As our eyes don’t allow for us to calculate distances, empty rooms appear much smaller.
