We recently talked about feng shui and how it might be make your rental property more appealing to prospective tenants. Now let’s talk about builder beige.
Builder beige is the result of generation after generation of real estate agents trying to keep everything about the interior of a house neutral. Neutral is supposed to be non-offensive. The problem is that it’s also non-inspiring. A little bit of neutrality is fine but feng shui would tell us it’s a good idea to have some points of interest as well. We’re not suggesting you paint the living room ceiling hot pink but one room you should consider adding interest to is the master bedroom.
The master bedroom is supposed to be a sanctuary. It’s Superman’s Fortress of Solitude after a hard day of saving the world from itself. It’s where he trudges in, cape drooping and soiled, needing to be revived with a color that is not beige. Why not try a sage green, gold, or deep rose? Feng shui expert, Steve Kodad, thinks these are good options. He explains it as more yin and less yang.
Other things to consider when arranging the master bedroom are keep the office, books, and television out of it. Gasp! Television? Sorry, yes, television. As any one who is being honest themselves will admit, television is a blathering, intrusive device best left to other rooms. Come on. You know it’s true. You want your tenants to find their Fortress of Solitude within YOUR rental property, right?
We thought so.
