Entertaining at home: An inspirational guide to making the most of a home this Easter
Whether you’re planning on moving or staying put this Easter, there are so many ways to celebrate at home.
The market is now fresh like the spring, with properties appearing for sale on every corner. So here are a few tips to make the most of the holidays.
Indoor and outdoor Easter egg hunts
Just because you love chocolate, a great way to entertain your family this Easter is by arranging an Easter egg hunt. This will keep the children occupied while you catch up with friends and family who can offer a different perspective on your home move.
Cocktails outside
With many homes offering great outdoor living spaces, often heated, well-lit, and decked out, you can enjoy cocktails even if the weather is not as warm as you like. Perhaps you have given your garden a spring makeover to add to its value or simply because you wanted to make it the perfect outdoor space.
Preparing your dining room
The central hub after the kitchen, you can make your dining room as beautiful as you want. Candles, spring flowers, edible chocolate ornaments, and the little details that dress a table for entertaining can make great pictures when staging your home for a sale.
Spend a few hours in the kitchen
From making your chocolate eggs to preparing a traditional Sunday roast, inspiration for kitchen design is everywhere, and the possibilities to enjoy it are endless at this time of year. Maybe you prefer experimenting? You could try alfresco dining. Add a log burner and candles for a relaxing outdoor dining experience.
You entertain the idea of moving
Sometimes you just want more. No matter how much spring cleaning, preparation, decoration, or renovation you undertake, you know you want to move. Your current home will never meet all your expectations. And though you have made great memories, when you glimpse inside a beautiful property, you instantly envision a better way of living.
The housing market
April is a great time to sell up as market activity increases. The housing market becomes a hive of activity, and this year promises to be a good one. The average number of people contacting agents at the beginning of the year increased by 11% compared to the same period in 2019. Spring is a popular time for people to move home. Fresh properties arrive on the market, and many people who delayed buying in December are now eager to buy quickly. The market is stable, with prices remaining strong, bringing more choice and increasing your chances of finding the home you desire.*
