Make it as easy as possible for people to imagine what their own furniture could look like in your home. The best way to do this is to de-clutter and pare back a lot of your personal items. By taking appliances off the bench and reducing the amount of ornaments and photos on display, you will give your home a larger feel and make it more suitable for the tastes of others. A bowl brimming with fresh fruit is often a nice touch in the kitchen; it adds colour and a homely feel.
