Neutralize your colour palette — not just with paint, but accessories, too.

Master bedrooms are very important. You might try to get an upholstered fabric panel to use as a headboard.

Declutter: If you haven’t used it in a year, you can’t make money with it or it’s not a family heirloom — throw it out or give it away.
Once you’ve removed your dated, worn items from your home, borrow that beautiful rug or armchair from family and friends.

Make sure your home smells clean, with no pet or other odours.
