  • Clean the room neatly. Remove any photographs or family portraits.

If the room is found too crowdy with furniture, then remove some of the furniture items. Be careful to provide enough space in the room. It’s better to use smaller sofas and chairs to make the room appear larger.
  • Paint the room with the right color. Select a nice and warm color for the living room. Prefer neutralized colors that also add visual interest. Softer shades of blue, green and brown are best suitable for a living room.
  • Include charming accessories to make the furniture look beautiful. Colorful accent items like rugs and pillows further add elegance to the room.
  • You can place a fireplace which acts as a focal point in the room. Also, remember to arrange seating to face the fireplace. Set a mirror over the fireplace.
  • Place small flowering pots or hanging baskets in the living room. They bring the outdoors inside and also makes the room charming and pleasant.
  • Décor elements like mirrors, wall paintings, etc. can be placed to improve the appeal.
  • Consider placing bookcases if necessary. A curved bookcase is more fascinating to look at. Place a chair, lamp and table in front of the bookcase.

These tips help you to elevate the appeal of your living room thereby increasing the chances of your home sale.
