New towels in these areas are a great feature. Keep these rooms neutral and add a touch of ten in the form of flowers or candles to add warmth.
Bedrooms
Store away excess furniture. Make you bedroom appear large. Always have the floor picked up and the beds made for showings. Keeping the blinds open to let the daylight in.
