The Interior Styles That Buyers Love – And Are Willing to Pay Premium price for

Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2022

This two-minute read explains how to nail the must-have looks that could push up the price of your home.   Here at Greyfox, we’ve been telling our clients for years to ditch the clutter and get the décor spot on to secure a top sale. Well now a survey has proved us right!   The study* found that two in five buyers look for a property that matches their own personal taste in interiors. (The split was 46% of men and 36% of women, dispelling the myth that women are the fussier sex.)   Now, you may be wondering why buyers get so hung up on cosmetic details. After all, it’s easy enough to paint a few walls if you don’t like a colour scheme, and you’re buying a property, not the furniture.   But many buyers make emotional rather than analytical decisions. When they step inside a home, they want to imagine themselves living there. Younger buyers – influenced by the mountains of interior design content on TikTok and Instagram – may have particularly strong views.

They’ve usually done their homework on local schools, nurseries and parks and have their hearts set on securing a property in the area. Hence, when they fall in love with a property, they mean business.
