4 Tips for Styling a Winning Show Home
If you’re selling a newly built estate, the chances are you’ll need a show home to showcase the versatility and dream of the ideal family home.
Whilst you may think it’s easy to create a show home, there are various ways to tap into your target customer’s psychology so you can convince them to buy a brand new home from your selection.
For the best vision of a family home, here are the best tips and tricks to make your show home one for prospective buyers to remember.
-
Stick with a Neutral Colour Scheme
If there’s one surefire way to a family’s heart, it’s a neutral colour scheme. For many families, buying a new home means a clean slate, so using a neutral colour scheme will enable them to envision putting their own stamp on the home.
Additionally, neutral colours will also draw in more light to the show home’s rooms. This creates an optical illusion of additional space, and can make the home look deceptively bigger, especially in photographs.
-
Show off the Storage Space
For families especially, a clever demonstration of storage space can be helpful for showing how their busy day to day lives can fit into the layouts of newer built homes.
By showing how you can manipulate the space to suit all the family’s storage needs, you will inspire a family who is still growing, or a family who requires a lot of space to facilitate all their needs.
Companies like Collated Fasteners can supply high quality fixtures and fittings to comply with your vision for a spacious, storage friendly show home.
Whether you need tools for installing shelves, safety glasses or nails, Collated Fasteners have everything you need to establish high quality storage solutions for your show home.
-
Highlight Key Features
As with any product you sell, you’ll want to showcase the features of the show home that your customers are likely to be drawn to.
For example, if your home has any statement features like bay windows, using curtains or blinds that will draw attention to this will catch the customer’s eye.
If you need curtains, soft furnishings like cushions or throws, then retailers like Dunelm can offer you a wide selection that will be sure to stun your customers.

Smells and Sounds Can Make an Impact
When you’re designing a show home, sounds and smells can make more of an impact than you think.
For many developers, the smell of freshly baked bread or coffee can help your customers feel comfortable in the show home.
Additionally, you may want to use clean and neutral air fresheners in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Usually smells like cotton or clean laundry can help a family feel entranced by the place.
To help with attractive scents in the long-term, using fragrance oils from companies like Fragrance Oil Studio can help you keep your show home smelling fresher for longer.
If you can, install double or even triple glazing everywhere you can in your show home, especially if there is still building work ongoing on your estate.
