Good morning on this cloudy, cozy Tuesday!
We are focusing on a fun topic today after spending the weekend doing open houses and taking care of our buyers and sellers. One of the best things about being a Realtor is seeing different styles of homes and working to make them as appealing as possible for potential buyers. On both the buyer and seller sides, we find ourselves discussing design and décor quite often with our clients. Buyers want to know what style the home is, whether it's on-trend in terms of design, and most importantly they want to know if their furniture and décor taste will work in this new house. For sellers, it's important for them to present a home that will appeal to a wide range of buyers that looks current and well-kept.
It’s always exciting to see how some paint, new furniture, and accessories can completely transform a space. The way we style our homes gives us a sense of comfort; it’s what makes a house feel like a home. This topic is at the forefront during this time of year because of the upcoming holidays, bringing guests and festive gatherings, and also the colder weather that unfortunately keeps us inside our homes rather than outside playing golf, swimming, or gardening.
Styling our homes isn’t only important if we’re trying to sell. We think it’s important to create your dream home to enjoy every day, even if you’re not necessarily living in your dream home...yet!
Creating this dream home takes work and some research–and a lot of patience. It means arranging and rearranging furniture until it feels right and moving your favorite objects and accessories around when you want a change. We all need a change of scenery once in awhile, right? Over time you will create a home filled with treasures you love that have been gathered and pieces together over time.
We are fortunate to have a number of great places to find these treasures in Evansville. We have local stores and larger chains that cater to those of us with a limited budget, and those that can afford to have more expensive pieces hand-selected by an interior designer. We’d like to share with you a few of our favorite places around Evansville to find great deals, beautiful home décor, and some pieces to splurge on when you can!
