Sell Your Home Tips for Creating a Warm Cozy Room

By David W Miller

Selling your home is difficult in today's buyers market. No matter what style your home is the buyers want to feel cozy. Spruce up your fireplace. Clean out the ashes from your last fire, if your have glass doors clean the glass. Remove clutter from the mantle and the hearth. If you have a log basket fill it with clean firewood. White birch logs if available create a dramatic clean look.

The most dramatic spruce up you can do to your fireplace is to paint the firebox. After burning wood fires for years the inside walls of the firebox are stained from the smoke. Use a stiff brush and clean off the loose soot from the walls and floor of the firebox. Use high temperature black paint it can be the same as grill paint found at any home improvement store. The high temperature paint is available in spray or brush on. Paint the inside walls of the firebox this will create a dramatic background when a fire is burning.

When having your open house we do not suggest burning a wood fire. Instead I suggest using a fireplace candelabrum. Fireplace candelabras are designed to fit inside the firebox, they are low and wide. Fireplace candelabras can hold anywhere from 5 to 9 candles on average and most fit the wide candles. Select a color that compliments the room's décor. It is OK to burn a scented candle but no more than one of the candles should be scented. Burning more than one of the scented candles could be overpowering in the room. Light all the candles during your open house.

The warm glow of the burning candles is enhanced against the clean freshly painted black background. Create a cozy relaxing atmosphere around your fireplace and in your buyers heart. Sell your home.
