You want your home to look its best, and maybe you have been inspired by the latest interior design trends you have seen on TV or in your favorite magazines. Unfortunately, some of the hottest interior design trends can backfire when it comes time to sell your home. Home buyers want to be able to picture themselves in a home, and individualist touches can get in the way of that. When it is time to Sell Your Home , we suggest setting up your home as in move-in ready by removing individual touches that made your house a home. After all, your goal of selling your home is to get potential buyers to picture themselves in your home, and this won’t be possible if your decorating style is dominating the house. Here is our list of interior design trends we suggest removing from your house before selling:

• Boldly Painted Walls

People prefer homes with neutral exterior and interior walls. Even though repainting is easy,it is still a pain and some home buyers do not want to bother with doing that.

• Wallpaper

Bold patterns, in the form of wallpaper, seem to be popping in interior design trends. Unfortunately, wallpaper, even if it is just one wall, is an extremely personal choice and is time consuming to remove. Before placing your home on the market, consider removing any wallpaper and replacing it with a neutral paint color

• Lavish Light Fixtures

Although home buyers want rooms to look bright, beware of installing a lavish light fixture that may seem to modern or ornate. Light fixtures are suppose to enhance your home, not steal the show.

• Remove Gold

Although your interior designer may think it is trendy to mix silver and gold, many home buyers would disagree. Gold can give your home an outdated feel. Switching out your faucet and door handles to a more appealing finish, such as brushed nickel, can make your home appear more sleek.

• Converted Garages

People like to have a safe place to put their car, as well as a place for storage. If your converted your garage your specific needs, it may not suit your potential buyers.

• Converted Bedrooms

Just like garages, people like using rooms for their intended purpose. If you converted a bedroom into an office or a game room, make sure your convert it back to a bedroom when you are ready to sell.
