Characterising a bedroom can also make or break a sale, as the bedroom is used for relaxing, unwinding, dressing, sleeping, the ambience should reflect this. To make it obvious that the room is also used for watching TV or for working could give the impression there’s not enough room provided throughout the rest of the house. Store away items such as TV’s, entertainment systems computers, work desks, fax machines etc. Keep the room vacuumed ventilated but warm, tidy and free from clutter, this is important if the atmosphere of spaciousness is to be portrayed to the viewer. Never leave clothing on the bed or hanging over the back of a chair as this will give the impression of a lack of storage or just untidiness. Do not leave suitcases or travel bags on view, store away in the loft or shed. Keep the bedding crisp and clean with matching cushions. Fresh flowers or vanilla scented candles will add to the calming effect in the bedroom.

Every room must appear to have a function. If you have a spare room then define it’s purpose, it may be used as a spare bedroom for guests, nursery or playroom, a study or office. A spare room downstairs is often interpreted as a utility room, a washroom, study or office. Add the necessary furniture to help define the use of the room.
