Not everyone decorates their home for Valentine’s Day, but enough do that it brings to mind the question, “How much decoration is too much when your Southern New Hampshire home is for sale?”

Rules for Decorating Southern New Hampshire Homes for Sale
Here are a few tips on decorating for Valentine’s or any other day when you're trying to sell your home:
  
·       Choose decorations that are small and unobtrusive. Large decorations put too much emphasis on themselves. When you’re trying to sell your home, these take away from the overall appearance of the interior.
  
·       Finding buyers is all about allowing them to see themselves living in the home. When choosing your decorations, or deciding to decorate at all, keep this firmly in mind. Ornamentation made of bright colors may be fun, but can also be overwhelming.
  
·       If you’re ever at a loss on how to decorate or stage a home for sale, take a trip through furniture stores. Stores that sell furniture often have furniture set up in “living” displays so people can see what the pieces look like together. Look at the displays, take pictures and notes, and then apply the knowledge you gain to make your own home look like a display.
  
Decorating and staging correctly can make a huge difference in how buyers see the Southern New Hampshire homes for sale. The few tips above can help make your home shine.
