When selling your house, make sure every room has a defined purpose easily recognizable to potential buyers. Whether you are using a room as a catch-all or storage area, when it is time to sell it is important to make sure that potential buyers know the intended purpose for that room. Make that spare bedroom into an office, kid’s room or a guest room. Pick neutral colors for the room and then add a pop of color with spring colored throw pillows and a vase of fresh flowers.
