1. The beloved green plant
Did you know ? By changing your family pictures for small green plants or other decorative objects, your future buyers will be more inclined to visit you. This important detail, will make your house less personal, which will allow your visitors to project themselves better.
Also consider choosing a quality artificial plant that you can relocate to your new property once the sale is completed ! A large plant will bring life to the space, just like the artificial ficus lyrata. It's a great trendy houseplant for this project with its beautiful tropical foliage. Make sure to choose a fake plant that looks as realistic as possible to give a good first impression.

Simply place a bouquet of artificial flowers on a table or console furniture and let the magic happen... they'll brighten up your space even on darker days ! This is also a great solution when your room is plain and dull. Here, yellow flowers and plants complement each other nicely to brighten up the kitchen...it’s even hard to believe that they are fake flowers:
3. The indoor pot for a whole new look to your space
Did you know that changing your planter can transform your decor? Nowadays, pots have become real decorating accessories that can make all the difference. Even the smallest details count ! Is your pot getting out-of-date ? Go for the terrazzo planter with a sleek design or the black metal standing planter. Also think about changing your outdoor pots at the entrance, to give a good first impression at the beginning of the tour.
4. Home fragrance in the bathroom
During tours, your home should be clean and tidy. It is also a good idea to add a room perfume that smells fresh or reminiscent of clean laundry. You don't want to scare your visitors away with a scent that is too sweet or too floral. Reed diffusers, candles, scented sachets...all of these ideas are key in improving your guests’ experience and providing that extra something special that will make them feel at home.
5. The painting or rug that will make all the difference
Does your home simply lack vitality? A modern rug or painting may be all you need to spark interest in your home. Rugs help define a room, add warmth and set the tone for the decor. If your room is in need of an update, it's easy to paint the walls white and add more contemporary canvases. Enhance your office with colorful accessories as well.
Finally, when it's the time for a tour, light the fireplace and candles to create an inviting vibe.
