If you are selling a home it is important to not neglect the outdoor space. More and more buyers are interested in having an outdoor space they can use right away. Outdoor spaces are the perfect area to relax and entertain.
At Nesting Effect we always encourage clients to evaluate the exterior of their home.
Here are a few tips to transform your outdoor space:
1- Declutter. It is important to take note of toys, lawn care tools, ornaments and other miscellaneous items you have left around and put them away.
2- Lawn care is very important leading up to putting a home up for sale. This means removing any debris, maintaining lawns, scrubs, and flowers depending on the season.
3- Creating a welcoming space outdoors is ideal and can easily be completed by ensuring your outdoor furniture is clean, well arranged and you have added textiles such as rugs, pillows, throws etc to complete a look.
4- Clean. This includes everything from decks, patios, gazebos, window and exterior siding and more. Making sure areas are freshly washed down can itself make a big impact on the look of your home.

As Halloween approaches in 2023, homeowners are gearing up to transform their spaces into hauntingly beautiful realms. This year, the trends in home Halloween decor have taken a turn towards a balance between spooky sophistication and eco-consciousness.
Sustainable Decor: One notable trend for 2023 is the emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly Halloween decorations. Homeowners are opting for reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable decor items. From compostable pumpkin decorations to reusable spiderweb decals, the eco-conscious approach to Halloween is gaining popularity. It’s a reflection of the growing awareness of environmental issues.
Monochromatic Palettes: Classic black and white Halloween decor is making a comeback with a modern twist. Monochromatic color schemes create a sophisticated and eerie atmosphere. Think black and white pumpkins, candles, and table settings. These designs are easy to coordinate and provide a timeless and elegant look.
Minimalist Elegance: Many are embracing a minimalist approach to Halloween decor. Subtle touches like ghostly wall decals, minimalist wreaths, and sleek, dark candle holders create a sense of understated spookiness. This trend is ideal for those who prefer a more refined aesthetic.
DIY and Personalized Decor: DIY projects are still in vogue. Homeowners are enjoying the process of crafting their Halloween decorations, adding a personal touch to their spaces. Hand-painted pumpkins, homemade wreaths, and customized banners are all the rage, allowing for a unique and creative expression of Halloween spirit.
Tech-Enhanced Haunting: Technology is playing a significant role in Halloween decor. Smart lighting, motion-activated decorations, and even holographic displays are being incorporated to create interactive and immersive Halloween experiences. This trend adds an element of surprise and excitement to home decor.
Vintage Vibes: Nostalgia is creeping into Halloween decor with a resurgence of vintage-inspired items. Old-fashioned lanterns, Victorian-style decorations, and retro costumes are gaining popularity. It’s a nod to the spooky aesthetics of the past.
Clever Lighting: Lighting is crucial in setting the mood, and homeowners are getting creative with it. From eerie candlelit walkways to LED-lit jack-o’-lanterns, lighting is being used strategically to enhance the Halloween ambiance.
Botanical Elements: Nature-inspired Halloween decor is making waves. Dried flowers, branches, and autumnal leaves are being used to create a rustic, witchy vibe. These elements add an earthy and organic touch to the decor.
In 2023, Halloween home decor is all about embracing the spooky season with a touch of elegance, sustainability, and personalization. Whether you prefer a modern monochrome look or a vintage-inspired vibe, there are plenty of creative ways to celebrate Halloween and make your home a bewitching haven for all who dare to visit.
