| House Doctor - How to Add £££ to the value of your house. Remove your own personality from your home; let the buyer mentally move in. We know that most buyers make up their mind about a property within a few seconds of entering, and often before getting beyond the front door, so get going and move a step further to clinching that all important sale at a profit! |
If you’ve had it with interior designers telling you that you need to paint your walls orange and pink, and would rather hear about changes that will increase the value of your home, as well as enhance its appearance, then don’t despair, the House Doctor is on call.
Straight-talking Californian interiors stylist Ann Maurice (the ‘Doctor’) has become cult viewing on British television, and her no-nonsense approach to home improvement has gained her a legion of fans. This book re-creates some of the real-life cases that have featured in the series, as well as presenting a host of other decorating ideas aimed at helping you to add real value to your home and be a winner in the property game. The focus is not on dramatic or extreme makeovers, but on styling the home you have to maximum advantage, without spending a fortune. While aimed primarily at people wishing to sell their home, you’ll also find plenty of ideas here for smartening up your property, both inside and out, for your own pleasure. In fact, as participants in the series have found, by following Ann’s advice their living space is so improved that they can’t bear the thought of someone else getting the benefit!
House Doctor is illustrated with specially commissioned photography from many of the actual homes featured in the series. The Before and After photographs show how each room in turn can be made into a style winner. The book looks at a range of different types of property, from contrasting geographical areas, paying particular attention to that all-important first impression.
Specific topics covered include:
creating a focal point in a room
colours that never work
dealing with techno-clutter
scents and smells
maximising ‘kerb appeal’
making your garden an oasis not a scrapyard
