Youve fixed up the curb appeal, youve redecorated the interior what else can you do to sell your home more quickly. How about a little Feng Shui?

Feng Shui has been around for thousands of years. Initially this art of placement was used in the Far East as a means of determining the most propitious locations for important buildings and even for determining where a town might be settled. It continues to be utilized today, predominantly inside homes and offices as a means of keeping positive vibes (called Chi) flowing. Sounds good? Better still, its not difficult to give your home a Chi face lift.

Begin at the front door. If you can have something red near to your entryway, this attracts prosperity. You can use a potted plant if red paint isnt quite a trim you can use with the remaining backdrop. Make sure your door LOOKS nice. This is where you welcome potential buyers and a clean, hospitable front door becomes a letter of invitation. Also if you put a small wind chime on the left of the door, this will also ring in good energies.

Once youre through the doorway of the home look around. What is your first impression of the overall openness of the home? Clutter blocks energy flow and its also a huge deterrent to making house sales. Make sure walkways and rooms have white space. Sprinkle the space with a few other living plants, particularly the kitchen as this is one of the most important parts of the home in terms of value and sales appeal. Bathrooms and bedrooms are also key features.

These may seem like very simple ideas, but effective methods do not have to be complex to work. The impact of feng shui in real estate is subtle, rather like soft background music. You want to create an environment that encourages potential buyers to take their time and really envision themselves in that space. You also want an overall presentation thats uplifting, not heavy or stuffy. That means having plenty of natural light (mirrors can help with this if your windows are small).

Feng Shui has become a common interior decorating component for a reason. Theres a lot of common sense to it, and when utilized correctly it creates a healthy environment that reflects your goals in this case, selling that house!
