    It looks neat and tidy to me. I’d throw some nice rugs on the floors, a couple of well selected wall hangings (local beach photos blown up) and whack some better furniture into it and sell inclusive. With the right furniture in situ, it makes a good impact at OFI- less hassles for buyers. And they can start renting it out straight away.

    You could stick a bookcase in it too, and fill it full of all your old books you never look at anymore, and maybe a board game or two – monopoly anyone? :)

    Hi Richmond,

    It looks just fine but lacking a bit of ‘warmth’. I agree with the rugs, especially under that coffee table – a nice flokati (white) will soften all that timber look. one or two squashy cushions, maybe a throw draped over the edge of a sofa and a few books as thefirstbruce said. If it is a holdiay home you want to give it a ‘relaxed’ look so that a prospective buyer would want to kick off their shoes and not think about work. It can be done quite cheaply, it just needs the egdes softned.

    cheers, sunshine
