Keep it simple– Keep you holiday and seasonal decorating simple. A few pieces here and there can certainly add some holiday warmth to your home. Just don’t…. don’t over do it.
Keep it natural and neutral- Many seasonal and holiday decorations are from nature anyways. But as you go though what decorations you are putting out try to keep things natural and towards the neutral side.

As an aside this time of year in new England will bring leaves and snow. In the fall season, make sure you show off your pristine yard by removing the leaves. Also keep in mind with snow, ice and wet leaves comes safety. Makes sure all the drives and walk ways are cleared of snow and wet leaves so no one will slip and fall.
Remember the point of these tips is to have home buyers focus on your home and not the decorations.
