Hi ,

Have you ever wondered why builders often stage homes in neutral colours?

It’s because neutral tones create a blank canvas—inviting buyers to picture their life there. We all love to decorate in our own style, and that’s wonderful!

But when it’s time to sell (or when you’re welcoming potential buyers), a few quick updates can help your space appeal to everyone.

Here are three 60-minute updates to wow buyers before a showing:

Toss Pillows = Instant Colour & Texture

• Try a 2-2-1 combination on a sofa: two large solids, two patterned, one accent.
• Mix textures like linen, velvet, or boucle for depth.
• Repeat one colour from your rug or artwork for harmony.

Artwork that Anchors

• Choose one statement piece or create a balanced grid.
• Hang so the centre is about 57" from the floor (eye level).
• Add a “surprise” colour you can echo in pillows or decor.

Trendy Showpieces (Sparingly!)

• Think sculptural vases, coffee-table books, a modern tray, or a textured bowl.
• Style in odd numbers (3 or 5), vary heights, and leave negative space—clutter kills the look.
• Rotate seasonally to keep it fresh.
