• When furnishing your property, put yourself in the shoes of the tenant and try to provide at least one item that will appeal to that particular type of client.

• Flowers are a nice extra at a little cost. Keep to one variety rather than mixing flowers, It will give a sense of structure. It is not always necessary to use a vase as other containers could be far more effective.

• Always use air fresheners around your property. Smell is always the first sense used upon entering your property.

• Mirrors add an element of surprise and a touch of glamour. They can create an illusion of space in even the smallest of rooms.

• Use less furniture than you would like. One couch, two chairs, two tables, two lamps.  best rooms are the most spacious. Remember, Less Is More!

• Keep the colour scheme of soft furnishings and bedding neutral. This is important for blinds too they need to be a colour that will blend easily with any furnishings.

• If you want to create the impression of movement around the room, use horizontal lines like a group of pictures, in a horizontal row. By aligning the same pictures vertically you can achieve an impression of height.

• Use Creative, soft lighting around your home for atmosphere and a stylish edge. Experiment with different lights and mix it with natural light. You can create an array of moods by trying different mixtures.

• De-clutter and clean the property between letting periods. Tenants can use their imagination a lot easier in a tidy property.

• For rental properties, remember metal furniture is chip proof and de-assembles easier for moving around properties.

• Wooden furniture can look stylish but is more suitable for long term lets. If wood is a must then go for 'easy-assemble' and use hardwood which gives more wear and tear.

• Most people decide quite quickly, after entering, if they like your property or not. Make sure that the entrance is appealing so that it sends out positive vibe in those first few seconds.

• Leave space between a sofa and the wall. Furniture that is positioned so that it appears to float, makes the space look larger on the whole, even though you have less space in the middle of the room.

• Check that furnishings are flame-retardant and comply with any local fire safety regulations. Install a smoke alarm on each floor of your property.

• If you provide furniture or essential packs, State this on your advertising as it increases rental value of your property. Essentials packs will always save your tenant time and cost.
