INTERIOR DESIGNER REVEALS HOW TO TURN YOUR HOME INTO A SELLING SUNSET-INSPIRED LA PAD
An elegant mix of pear white, elephant grey and pale wood is the combination most Beverley Hills homeowners seem to want. For a low-budget, Selling-Sunset style upgrade, simply give your walls a fresh lick of paint. If you have more to spend, re-doing the floor in pale wood will give your home a modern look that Christine Quinn would be proud of.
In one episode, the Oppenheim realtors organise a $40,000 (£30,253) mini-makeover for a property, involving repainting and repairs, adding $240,000 (£181,520) to the $3.6million (£2.72million) price, showing that a little renovation can go a long way!
Mirrors:
The huge properties in Selling Sunset look large enough without needing to trick the eye, but if you want to give your property an extra few metres, mirrors are your new best friend.
Floor-to-ceiling mirrors can give the illusion of high ceilings if placed in the correct position. Not to mention, tall and slender mirrors can actually create a multitude of optical illusions by mimicking a narrow hallway, which will make your room look even bigger.
Placing a big mirror in dining areas is a tip most interior designers swear by, which means a mirror near your dining table will also make your house look expensive and well-decorated at the same time.
Lighting:
Bring some Selling Sunset bling to your house with a lighting upgrade; large modern chandeliers or triple pendant lights work well in dining areas or above kitchen islands, whereas spotlighting works well in bedrooms.
Patio Doors:
If you’re lucky enough to have outdoor space, the doors to this can make your property look seriously streamlined and Selling Sunset-esque, if you choose wisely. Choose floor to ceiling if you can, to let as much light in as possible, and avoid thick door frames, as the more window there is, the larger and brighter your home will appear.
