Accentuate with an Accent Wall
An accent wall can totally transform a room, taking it from boring and drab to bold and exciting. Accent walls create a new focal point in your space, add liveliness and contrast, and are typically an inexpensive, but fun DIY project. Pop of Color You can easily add an accent wall to your room in one afternoon by applying a new paint color. Deep blues and bright oranges are common choices for accent walls, but choose a color that will complement your existing decor and overall design aesthetic. Interesting Textures Bright, contrasting paint is a good starting point, but there are other options for accent walls that are even more eye-catching and distinct. Floor-to-ceiling wood planks can make your home seem both rustic and modern all at once and provide a natural, outdoors-inspired feel. It’s more work than simply painting a wall, but it’s still relatively inexpensive. You can source the wood from pallets on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace and stain it yourself before attaching it to your wall. It takes a little extra elbow grease, but it’s worth the effort. Patterns + Murals Paint and wood are bold enough on their own to transform a room, but they’re still pretty subtle compared to other accent wall options. A chalk paint accent wall is a creative idea for any room and makes for some fun moments when you’re entertaining. There are also endless options for wallpaper and stenciling if you want some patterns, or you can get really bold with a mural or oversized art print. Art Gallery Use your wall to tell your story. A gallery wall not only can add style, but also can be used as a unique way to make a personal statement or document your experiences and travels. Don’t feel pressured or intimidated by uniformity; a gallery wall can indeed display a variety of artwork! Feel free to mix it up by including personal or family photographs, paintings you’ve purchased, souvenirs from your travels, and even personal mementos like children’s artwork. To avoid looking like a haphazard jungle, you should look for some way to tie it all together. Source

7 Simple Ways to Add Instant Curb Appeal
Let's Talk Curb Appeal. When staging to sell, your home’s exterior is just as important - in some ways, even more important - than the interior. Curb appeal is crucial, as the front of your house is the first thing buyers see, so be sure to put your best foot forward. Mulched landscaping, a cheery welcome mat, and a tasteful wreath give the right first impression! Here are a few of our stagers’ favorite ways to add instant curb appeal: Be sure there is a clear view of the house from the street. Trim back any overgrown trees or hedges that may be blocking the view of the front facade. Buyers will not purchase what they cannot see! Make the most of your outdoor space! Mow the lawn in the spring, summer and fall; rake all leaves in the fall; shovel all walkways and driveways in the winter. Update your house numbers to make sure they are visible from the front and in good condition (as well as your mailbox). It’s a good idea to power wash exterior siding, porches, decks, walkways and driveways. Dependent upon season, add a pop of color to the front landscaping - whether it be sprucing up your flower beds, adding a charming wreath, potted plants, or bright foliage is a simple way to make sure you draw those buyers in. The backyard is a continued living space and ultimately where you will entertain guests outdoors. Set the scene as if you are having friends and family over for a big outdoor BBQ. Continue landscaping and lawn care the same as the front of the home and dress up your yard with a table and chairs with a propped up umbrella and some brightly potted plants to add a pop of color (if the season allows). Remove any trash cans, recycling bins, garden tools, and yard equipment out of view. Ideally, store these items neatly inside the garage or shed, out of sight for buyers viewing your home in person and online. Check out the homes below for some curb appeal inspo!
