Is Your Home Décor Appealing to Homebuyers?

Thanks to social media, some homebuyers can be ruthless in describing your home to others. If they call your home cheugy (choo-gee), they believe you’re pursuing trends a little too hard, or your home is outdated. What makes a home cheugy is hard to pin down, but these are a few things that writers, redditors, and designers have called out:

Swap inspirational signs like “Live, Love, Laugh” with vintage or abstract art. Ditto for obvious statement signs like “Eat.”

Giant TVs taking over the living room. The trend of discreet tech: “hidden speakers, wireless charging furniture, and voice-controlled lighting” along with hidden TVs are now preferable.

Shower curtains, bath rugs, and old towels seldom look fresh and clean. Better to install a glass enclosure or buy new bath accessories.

Gray paint, the new neutral following the Great Recession, is now old and well…gray.  Try a bolder grayed blue, sage green, or mushroom instead.

It’s ironic, but the word cheugy will soon be cringy, too.
