Making the home appeal to the majority of home buyers will not work in this case as 'period' home buyers are looking for historically decorated interiors with charcter and architectural details not found in your typical home.  As a previous owner and long time lover of century homes we know what it takes to get the job done.  Below are some decorating tips to help enhance your homes beauty and character & when it come`s time to sell make sure to give us a call.

Tip #1: Choose Classic Wall Colours

Choose colours from a period inspired colour palette but use fresher, cleaner historic options such as robin's egg blue or chartreuse instead of the powder blues and 'puky' greens originally used.

Tip #2: Clear Out The Clutter

Historic homeowners tend to be collectors and don't always see all the 'stuff' they have as clutter but rather 'ambience'.  Clear out the clutter and create a symetry to emphasize the great 'bones' of your home.

Tip #3: Emphasize The Architecture

Put the focus on the architecture by toning down the busy patterns and ornate decor.  Use colour effictively to highlight features such as crown moulding and coffered ceilings. Using lighting to highlight special features such as built in book shelves and stone facades.

Tip #4: Maintain A Functional Kitchen

Even the most charming period kitchens need to be appealing and functional.  Make sure your kitchen offers plenty of storage space and offers up-to-date appliances.
