Outside Matters! Curb appeal has a huge impact on a buyer's impression of your home No matter how glorious your home looks on the inside. Since you only have one chance to make a first impression, it’s important to make people feel welcome, safe and impressed as they approach the house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Make sure your grass is cut, unsightly weeds pulled, and driveway-walkway swept. Ensure all exterior lights by the front door are working.  

Don't go Overboard with Renos! Quick fixes before selling are recommended and always pay off. Major renovations and makeovers before selling aren't always necessary, especially if you don't recover your expenses or get your money back in the sale of your home. Instead, do updates that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh coat of paint for the walls. Make sure burnt out light bulbs are replaced, clean the curtains or go buy some inexpensive new ones. Update door handles, light switches and fixtures and cabinet hardware. Make sure closet doors are on track, fix leaky faucets and clean the grout in bathrooms and floors. Clean your gutters, and powerwash exterior siding if need be.

Storage space! Storage is something every buyer is looking for and can never have enough of. Declutter your storage areas and closets, by at least half if you can, then neatly organize what’s left in there. Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and cabinets clean and tidy.

Show Ready! Your house needs to be "show-ready" at all times. Showing requests can be impromptu, so be available and flexible for viewing requests within reason. Don’t leave dishes in the sink, vacuum and dust on a daily basis, make sure the beds are made, bathrooms clean uncluttered and sparkling. It’s a little inconvenient, but it will get your house sold.

Lights On! Maximize the light in your home. After location, good light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let in the sunshine. Do what you have to do make your house bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable and for more money.

Having good feng shui in the bedroom nourishes and strengthens your health and well-being, which is unquestionably important. Having good feng shui in the bedroom also creates a stronger flow of love energy in your life. 

The Bed: Your bed is one of the most important pieces of furniture in your home and a worthwhile investment. You spend at least 6-8 hours there every night, so understanding how to choose the best bed to support your health and well-being is well worth the effort.

Follow the 5 basic feng shui guidelines for your bed. 

1. Have your bed easily approachable from both sides
2. Have two bedside tables (one on each side)
3. Avoid having the bed directly in line with the door
4. Invest in good quality bedding that feels and looks good.
5. Invest in an attractive solid headboard and footboard.

An attractive and balanced bed is very important in creating a perfect feng shui bedroom. A good mattress, a solid headboard and high-quality sheets from natural fibers are also very important in creating harmonious feng shui energy. If the configuration of the room is such that a bed placed in line with the door is the only option, ensure you have a good footboard of reasonable height as well. Make sure your bedroom's air quality isn't stale. Open windows to freshen your bedroom space.

Ideal Feng Shui Bedroom Colors

This step is really easy: Have at least some decor items in skin color tones to create warm, good feng shui in your bedroom. Skin color tones also work best as bedroom wall colors, because they create an energy similar to an embrace. The energy of skin color tones is the earthy, warm, nourishing energy that we all need, especially during nighttime. A good feng shui bedroom decor is a balanced decor that promotes the best flow of energy for restorative sleep, as well as sexual healing. 

Lighting 

Feng shui balance of all four elements is important and the fire element is well represented via lighting. Of course, during the daytime, natural light is the number 1 nutrient and is considered medicine for your body. Be sure to let natural light in during the day to purify and revive the energy in your bedroom.

It is important to have an intelligent lighting system in your bedroom, meaning to not limit your lighting to one poor overhead ceiling lamp with depressing light. 

If you have to have electrical lights, be smart and do your best by creating light energy that nourishes you and creates a sensual, warm feeling (as well as gives good direct lighting if you like to read in bed). This means you can have at least 2-3 layers of lighting. Best lighting for the bedroom are actually natural candles; they will not only give a warm glow and bring the feng shui fire element into your bedroom (very important!), but also purify the energy in your bedroom. Another wonderful choice would be Himalayan salt lamps; fantastic for their healing glow and energy in the bedroom.
