Tips on How To Make Your House Look Like a The Model Homes


#1 PAINT
Every Model a Home you go into their walls are always painted. And it's either a light grey, grey beige, or warm beige.
The Accent Wall Colors flow into each room. If the house is themed with blue, each room has an accent wall or painted stripes of the different shades of blue represented in the house. 
#2 HOME DECOR
The Same Theme runs throughout the entire house, from the living room to the laundry room to all the bedrooms. Wether it's a beach theme or a color theme each room has a hint of it in it.
#3 WALL SPACE 
The same type of art work is represented into the entire house. I've even noticed the same, but different images, of artwork in the master bedroom and then also on the walls right outside the room. I believe this gives the sense of good transition. Example: A couple butterfly pictures are in the hallway going towards the bedroom and then in the bedroom there are 2 big pictures of butterflies and maybe an accent butterfly pillow. As well as the sand color scheme is shown. Butterfly pictures both have blues, oranges, and greens... So the master bedroom has accent colors that match those pictures. Blue accent wall behind the bed with a white bed sheet and orange and green accent pillows. Even the bathroom matches with green and white pattern accent towels. THE KEY IS EVERYTHING TIES IN TOGETHER!!
Placement of the pictures/art is important to. I have noticed a picture frame on both sides of the bed directly above the nightstands, or 2 side by side directly above the bed if there isn't a headboard, 
#4 CURTAINS
The curtains, I have noticed, are always placed up high to give the illusion of a taller room. They also use large circular clip ons to hold the curtains to the rod. 
The curtains used are also very subtle with not lots of patterns or colors. 
#5 NO CLUTTER
When you walk into a model home the first thing you notice is it's a model home because there is no way a family of four could live here so neatly! But it is possible to hide a lot of the unnecessary clutter left behind. Think built in cabinet space and less decor (dust collectors) on the counters. This also helps give a more open and cleaner look. Ever see an episode of hoarders? The before and after pictures are fun to see, well for 1 you can actually see the floor and the house, but 2 the house looks bigger! You can see how more stuff makes it look more crammed and the illusion of it looking smaller. 
#6 SMELL
Ever walk into a model home and your eyes are distracted my the smell? Ofcourse not! Model homes smell like a new car, clean. Changing out your air vents regularly can help maintain the smell of rust. As well as lighting candles, I prefer Bath and Body Works, they are the only candles I ALWAYS, get compliments on.
#7 Furniture Placement
Living Room
Bedrooms- When you walk into a model home bedroom the main eye focal point goes to the bed. They achieve this but placing the bed where the eyes go first. Straight. They also add a background accent paint color behind the bed to make that wall stand out. Some rooms you can't place the bed straight ahead so this extra wall color really gets the eyes attention. 
#8 PILLOWS- If you have ever noticed the pillows in the homes are "chopped" down the center.
