Trends in interiors
We’ve shared with you the current trends of chandeliers and turquoise in an effort to bring those that believe gold, glass and gawd are still in. When an agent advises a listing client to keep everything as is and convinced that forest green walls and foofy maroon sheers will sufficiently sell a home, we cringe.
In that spirit, we share with you today a tip for upgrading that is easy on the wallet. For your sellers that know they need to paint their 1979 mauve walls and want to add 1987 floral wallpaper, perhaps you can help by pointing out alternatives.
