Getting ready to sell. Create a calm ambience

You may relish carefree chaos at home but buyers will find it hard to see past the clutter to get a feel for the structure. Below we have provided our top tips from small to large on how to create a soothing ambience throughout the house.

DECLUTTER THE HALLWAY
A cluttered hallway can make buyers feel cramped and overwhelmed. To improve the space, consider affordable storage solutions inspired by our favourite Swedish furniture store.

These stylish coat hooks are only £5 for a pack of 5 and the rail is £9
