Despite its many flaws, you love your home—outdated wooden baseboards, disco-era living room set, purple exteriors, and all. But does anyone else love it? If you’re considering putting your place on the market soon, it’s high time to take a step back and take a good, hard look at your decor. Dated touches might seem charming to you (wall-to-wall shag will totally be back in style soon, right?). Or maybe you don’t want to go to the trouble and expense of overhauling your decor if the new owners are going to change it anyway. We get it, but we’re here to tell you: Stop making excuses and be a savvy seller! Your outdated decor will immediately turn off a potential buyer, lowering your home value and making the selling process that much more difficult. And, even if you don’t plan on selling, you might be surprised what a fresh perspective does to your space (and your soul). Ditching the old-school trends for something updated and modern can make a creaky home feel new again. Here’s where you’re going wrong—and how to fix it.
