You have made the decision to downsize and we understand this is can be an emotional, frustrating, busy and potentially an expensive time for you.
We have worked with numerous clients over the years helping them downsize and we have some great tips so you can Downsize with Style and avoid the mistakes.
The first tip is in the planning.

Tip 4
Now use the floor plans to prearrange your furniture before the move. Remember that when it comes to home design and decorating projects, less is more and will make your room feel more spacious.It is extremely important to streamline your home. Be objective when accessing your furniture. You need well proportioned pieces to enhance your new living spaces.
Focus on surfaces which introduce interest and texture. Reflective metals and mirrored faces can reflect light and have an enlarging effect on a room. These include silver, chrome, gold, mirror and crystal.
Down scaling also allows you to upscale on patterns used in a room. Wall coverings including wallpaper can have a dramatic effect while complimenting the elegance of moderately sized furnishings. Hanging mirrors and selected artwork can add drama to the setting. Choose colours and tones that work with the interiors of your apartment.
