Preparing Your Master Bedroom for an Open House

white_bedroom-wallpaper-1366x768

The Master Bedroom is often one of the most important rooms to buyers; after all, we all spend an average of eight full hours of our day in our bedrooms. If you are selling your home and plan to host an open house, you should make sure your master bedroom is cozy, inviting, appealing, and has just the right vibe to entice potential buyers to drift off blissfully in peaceful slumber. Here are a few things you can do to make this happen:

1. Make your bed. Of course, you might say, while rolling your eyes. This is stating the obvious. But you might be surprised to learn just how many homeowners leave their beds unmade before an open house or showing. Don’t make this rookie mistake; make sure your bed is neatly made and don’t give your potential buyers the impression that you’re lazy or slovenly, because they may wonder if you can’t be bothered to make your bed, what else around your house you can’t be bothered to maintain.

2. Use your best bed linen. Bring out your beautiful matching sheets, pillow covers, blankets and duvet, preferably in soothing, neutral colors and soft, comfy fabrics. You may even want to consider purchasing a new set of bed linen. If it boosts your bedroom’s appeal and gets a buyer to seal the deal, it will be worth the investment.

3. Make sure the room smells clean, fresh and calming. Don’t use overpowering air fresheners or room fragrances, but consider using simple diffusers that give off subtle fragrances, or potted flowers with alluring scents. Lavender is always a good choice for bedrooms, as its scent is naturally soothing and relaxing.

4. Make sure the lighting in your master bedroom is excellent, the better to show off all its best features. Nothing is more unappealing than a gloomy, dim bedroom, as your potential buyers will probably feel more depressed than relaxed in such a space.
