When preparing your high-end home for sale, it’s essential to improve on your already beautiful home with a few finishing touches. We all know that plants and flowers work wonders purifying the air and make your space feel light and pleasant, but they can also set your property apart from others on your block. Here’s how you can use plants and flowers to your advantage.

You Create a Great First Impression

Walking into a home with fresh-cut, beautiful flowers give the impression that you care and want to include your potential home buyer in a higher, classier experience. However, you can’t just place a bouquet of flowers in an entryway and call it a day; you also need to dress them with a beautiful vase and be careful about the room's symmetry.

If you’re showing your home, you’ll need to swap out flowers at least three times a week to maintain their freshness. You can use Bouqs flower delivery, an online bouquet subscription service, to receive beautiful arrangements on your schedule.

You Give Your Potential Buyers a Sense of Scale

Most home buying involves shopping and viewing your home online, and pictures often distort how large or small parts of your home. Placing tabletop orchids, tall floor plants, and zebra cacti can give buyers a sense of how high the ceilings are, which prevents potential disappointment when they make an appointment with your realtor to view your home.

As a bonus, placing flowers in your show pictures is a strong indication you love your home, especially if you match them with your house's color theme. It pays to research which flowers will work best with each space.

You Bring the Outside In

Plants serve many different emotional and physical purposes, but all plants, regardless of color and shape, bring oxygen and life into a space. Being in nature or witnessing nature themes reduces stress, fear, and anger and places your buyers in a better mood. The happier your potential buyers are in your home, the more likely they’ll want to stay.

Plants also give visual depth because the nature surrounding your home becomes a part of your interior design. Plants will draw attention to your front and backyard, places in your home that can make or break a sale.

You Avoid the “Fake Staged” Look

Most of your furniture and belongings won’t stay in your old home while you’re trying to sell, which is both a positive and a negative. While it allows your buyers to understand how large your home actually is, it can also make your home look uncomfortable or too polished. Adding a plant or two will make the space look lived-in.

Plants also fit many other purposes because a large or tall plant can hide an undesirable section on the wall or floor while adding a splash of color. You don’t have to limit yourself to green; there are plenty of long-stemmed plants in multiple colors.

You Create a Focal Point

Your potential buyer won’t look at your furniture too closely (unless it’s damaged or unsightly), and they may miss some parts of your home without the direction of art or other items. When a plant or bouquet is tied with a beautiful container, a floor plant can become a focal point that adds value. You can even place smaller plants on a table or countertop to finish the look.

If you want to get creative, you can place a bunch of flower bulbs in a wide, shallow bowl of water to add color and character to blame, white room. Or, place small succulents on a bookshelf to break up the monotony of your one-tone furniture.
