Replacing bedding for selling house

[PastaBeeandCheese]

I have damson coloured bed linen in my bedroom with whitish walls. Hoping to put house on market ASAP.

Both sets are a few years old so I'm looking to buy some new bedding to brighten room. Any recommendations of where to buy? The current sets are really good quality and cost £££ but I don't want damson again at new house so looking to spend less.

Tried Dunelm Mill this morning but it was a nightmare of satin and polyester. Not sure where to go next or am I best just getting decent quality plain white?

I would get a white or light cream bedspread. They smooth the bed out wonderfully and you don't have to have your pillows on show to all and sundry.

something like this

Do you think it's a bit pointless?? I was hoping it would make the photos look really nice? Perhaps just a careful iron of my good but ageing linen is better than new but cheaper??

Honestly I wouldn't bother! Just freshly wash the bedding so the room smells and looks fresh and pop the iron over the sheets. Fluff up the pillows and duvet. People viewing the house should look beyond the decor

I think if you are going to buy new bedding go for plain White cotton. It will go with anything in the house you are moving to. Personally I would be refreshing the walls instead of buying new bedding.

If you get the bedspread you don't need to iron the sheets . Just sayin'.

I know minty already thought of that and I can just produce it for viewings thus preventing any contact a cream throw may have otherwise had with my toddler.

Think I'll go with that. I painted in there last year so walls still look good.

Good idea. ruby we have fitted cupboards in the bathrooms so have plenty of hiding places but I'll be sure to put the posh guest towels out as opposed to the Gruffalo ones currently hanging up.

This was all much easier last time I sold a house. I didn't have children so just made it look like a show home, crept about carefully keeping everything perfect, banned DH from most rooms and sold it. I suspect there will be far more emergency hiding things this time round.

Don't forget that buyers will probably want to look in fitted cupboards too, so they may not be the ideal place to hide all the clutter!!

Hmmm, I might get some sort of basket affair to put in cupboard.

Off to shops to buy a throw I shall artfully fold on bed and then to sort out my drawers as have to lose my extra set to make bedroom symmetrical again.

Be ready to hide loads of things in the car! Worked for us :). And I also kept a set of freshly ironed bed linen to put on at the v last minute.

Ha ha bloocow at the last house we had a loft ladder and I used to hide things up there just before viewings.

Worked though.... Sold for full asking price in a week. Those were the days.
