Make your home scream, "Own Me."

Although proper interior design is important when selling your home, with the amount of inventory available today it is almost imperative. Using modern design ideas will allow buyers to visualize their new life in your home. Staying on top of what today's buyers are looking for in their next home will increase your odds of selling your home for top dollar. Here are just a few things to consider when deciding on interior decor:
Buyers are no longer looking for elaborate designs. Today's buyer wants to live in home with leek leather furniture with simple shapes. People today want to have room to breath. This means fewer accessories and more open furniture. Rooms should be well designed but useful. The bulk of the buyers in the market today are the Baby Boomers. They are looking for homes that reflect what they grew up with. Think of fifties styles with a more modern look.
Built-in window seats with storage and utilizing beds with drawers underneath will free up a lot of space in your home. People are also wanting their homes to be more inviting to guests. Furniture that is comfortable but also puts them in a position to easily converse with others is a must. Screens and movable walls allow for a more versitile home. Today more than ever we see the kitchen being the main focal point of the home. For this reason we are seeing a new level of decorations being used in the kitchen.
Colors also play a major role in appealing to other peoples taste. Although color is always going to be a persons personal preference, we are seeing more and more people who dare to use rich and bold colors - purples, yellow, reds and blacks are growing in popularity. We are also seeing a desire for metallic accents as well. Brushed nickel door knobs and hinges gives a home more personality.
Experimenting with new textures can be very attractive for buyers. We're seeing more wood and tile flooring replacing carpeting. Not to say carpet is being eliminated from homes, just toned back a bit.
When designing a new look for your home, above all trust your own taste and don't go over board. Having an exotic look to your home will appeal to buyers, but only if it's done in a tasteful manor. You can get some ideas for what is "in" by paying attention to the following: Desirable hotels generally are on top of what the consumer want to make them feel comfortable, pay attention to the new fashions and mimic them in your home, some of the popular TV shows have an influence on how people want to live as well.
