When it comes to selling or letting a property in Cardiff, one of the most common goals for homeowners and landlords is to make their home appear lighter, brighter, and more spacious.

The aroma is a huge part of the overall feel of your home in Cardiff. Capturing the perfect scent for each room will help elevate the space and can dramatically transform your property.

While candles are great; you should consider other ways of injecting fragrance into each room. Linen sprays and oil reed diffusers are an easy way to infuse refined scents, reducing the need to have candles constantly burning.

Earlier this year, it became apparent that home buyers aren’t that fussed about finding the ‘perfect’ property. A Rightmove survey of 34,000 home movers found 73% of those leaving rented accommodation viewed fixer uppers as a more affordable route to property ownership. Additionally, 73% of existing homeowners wanted to buy a property that needed work in order to create their dream home.

Selling your home in Cardiff or the surrounding areas can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re trying to stand out in the competitive high-end property market.

The process of moving home in Cardiff can become highly stressful. With a seemingly endless to-do list, mounting cardboard boxes and looming deadlines, getting in touch with energy suppliers is often pushed to the bottom of the pile.

Described by House Beautiful as ‘the secret to a calm and clutter-free home’, biophilic decluttering is a trend we can really get behind. It merges two interior aspects that are hugely important when selling a home – presenting a property that’s clear and streamlined, and dressing a home so it is visually appealing.

So you’ve moved home, you have the keys, you’re in, and the kettle and mugs have been unpacked. Sure, you’ve got boxes here, there and everywhere, but at least you’ve finally moved and are happy!
