Less Is More

While too many fall decorations will take focus off of your home and its best features, a few tasteful accents can create an inviting setting and make your home feel fresh. Try displaying vases of fall foliage or bowls of seasonal fruit throughout your home.

Warm Up Your Walls

No matter what time of year you decide to sell, a fresh coat of paint is a great way to revive your home's interiors. For the fall season, try painting your walls a rich shade of caramel or cream that's neutral yet warm and inviting. Add pops of color with accessories in deep reds and oranges.

Let In the Light

The days get shorter during the fall season, so adequate lighting is essential if you want to highlight your home's best features. Let in as much natural light as possible by opening your blinds, and place plenty of lamps throughout your home for additional illumination.

Emphasize Comfort

As the weather cools down, a warm and cozy atmosphere will encourage potential homebuyers to stick around during showings, giving them more time to admire your home. Accentuate your sofas and chairs with throw pillows and plush throws.
