Breathe new life into your spare bedroom
Breathe new life into your spare bedroom
If your #spareroom is more dumping ground than inviting retreat, fear not. Here are some simple styling tricks to freshen up the space and welcome guests in style.
Start with a thorough declutter
The first step is to make the space feel like an actual bedroom. Remove items that don’t belong in your spare room.
Re-house objects you use on a regular or semi-regular basis and find them a new home where they’re used.
Consider putting luggage or #festivedecorations in deep storage such as the garage or attic.
Take this opportunity to air out your spare bedroom and run bedding through the wash.
When it comes to items you no longer need or use, but are still in good condition, look to #repurpose, #rehome or #recycle them.
Pull out the paintbrush
If your spare room is looking a little drab, there’s no faster or easier way to give it a fresh new feel than with a lick of paint.
Add little touches of luxury
A few carefully considered additions to your spare room will make overnight guests feel truly special - soft towels in different sizes at the end of the bed, a posy of pretty flowers by the bedside, a scented candle, a mobile phone charger, and a good book.
Should You Stay Home During Open Homes or Private Viewings? 🏡🤔
Should You Stay Home During Open Homes or Private Viewings? 🏡🤔
When you list your home for sale, you might wonder: should you be there during inspections? While it’s your home, many agents suggest stepping out during these moments.
Here’s why:
1️⃣ Protecting Your Peace 🛡️
Selling a home is an emotional journey, and potential buyers often share candid opinions about your home. While their feedback can be valuable, it might feel personal when you’re nearby. Stepping out helps you avoid any unintended stress or discomfort.
2️⃣ Creating a Comfortable Atmosphere 🌟
Buyers want to imagine themselves living in your home, and that’s easier to do when they feel at ease. Your presence, even with the best intentions, might make them feel like guests rather than potential owners.
💡 Pro Tip: Take a break—go for coffee ☕ or enjoy a walk in the park 🌳 during inspections. It can make a big difference for everyone involved.

Join Chris Acott, our Director of Football, for a women's opening training session at Morland Fox Park from 6pm to 7.30pm this Thursday 5th December. The open training session is an opportunity for players to come and meet like-minded people and experience women's football at the Blue Rovers.
Leonie Gordon, the Club Secretary and women's coordinator, says: "There are some phoenominal women footballers in Tauranga, all with their own goals, values and motivations. We offer a supportive women's management group, healthy team culture and quality coaching for women who want to play their football closer to home, and who want a club they can call their own."
