Property makeovers 'less about a quick sale'
24/02/2010 14:30:42

Property makeovers are still popular but the motivation is no longer preparing for a sale, according to an interior design expert.
During the housing boom, there was a big trend towards quick makeovers to help homeowners achieve a sale.
Properties were bought, refurbished and then put back on the market as investors sought to earn a quick buck from rising house prices.
But with the housing market now more sluggish, homeowners are thinking about creating a home for the longer-term.
"People are starting to see their properties less as places to quickly do up and move on and more as homes to live in," said Linda Barker of the Ideal Home Show.
"People are using a lot more colour and pattern and putting a bit more thought into how they want it to [look]," she added. "There is a certain move away from a minimalist look - white and cream - and now it is much more eclectic and much more about the individual."
Sofa, carpet and curtain designers are responding to this demand, with 2010 expected to see a continuation of the trend towards bolder colours and patterns.
