floral tips

It’s no secret that the housing market isn’t exactly booming these days—selling homes is tough, especially in a fiercely competitive and overwhelming city like Manhattan. That’s why utilizing innovative yet low-cost strategies is a pivotal selling solution to give you that slight edge over the competition and help market and sell your home faster. And one of the best ways to do this is by sprucing up your NYC space with beautiful fresh-cut flower arrangements.

Flowers make any room more inviting and they enhance the natural appeal of your home by adding and element of “everyday elegance.” There are, however, some tips and techniques to keep in mind so your flower arrangements make the most out of every room, every time.

The Right Flower for the Right Room.
Certain flowers lend themselves better to particular areas of the home. Roses, peonies, gardenias and lilies add romantic, light and airy touches to bedrooms. Sunflowers and Gerbera daisies will brighten up drab living rooms. Elegant Irises, Calla Lilies and orchids dress up foyers and dining rooms with a sleek, modern touch.

Spring into Action
Spring is an active time in the real estate market, so enlivening your NYC home with potted plants and urban gardens are vital additions that will help boost your chances of selling. Urban landscaping can increase the value of a building by up to 20 percent, so taking full advantage of roof space, terraces and even hallways and lobbies with landscaping is a smart, effective decision that’s well worth every penny.

Potted ferns, grasses, shrubs and flowering bushes add an element of luxury and help the prospective buyer feel more at home by creating a serene green oasis that transports them away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Designing this garden atmosphere is a huge selling point of any NYC space, and will help differentiate your space from the hundreds of others, while also allowing for a higher asking price.

Use Common “Scents”
Remember that certain flowers have stronger fragrances that could turn off buyers if placed in the wrong room. Keep fragrant flowers out of the kitchen, where they might compete with and seclude them to bathrooms and open areas.
