10 Ways to Make Your Home Irresistible at an Open House Put fresh or silk flowers in principal rooms for a touch of color. Add a new shower curtain, fresh towels, and new guest soaps to every bath. Set out potpourri or fresh baked goods for a homey smell. Set the table with pretty dishes and candles. Buy a fresh doormat with a clever saying. Take one or two major pieces of furniture out of every room to create a sense of spaciousness. Put away kitchen appliances and personal bathroom items to give the illusion of more counter space. Lay a fire in the fireplace. Or put a basket of flowers there if it´s not in use. Depersonalize the rooms by putting away family photos, mementos, and distinctive artwork. Turn on the sprinklers for 30 minutes to make the lawn sparkle.
