Claire Zinneckerâs Anti-Crate: How to NOT Sell Your House
Austin interior design guru Claire Zinnecker, co-host of NBCUniversal's kids' show 'Get Out of My Room,' has spent 16 years turning chaos into chic. Her biggest nightmare? Homes blasted with family photo carnivals throughout every room, walls flexing triple punchlines of purple, pink, and green, and furniture arranged like a small hoarde of IKEA rejects stage a party. She warns sellers: âBuyers want to imagine THEIR lives here, not your awkward dorm wall.â Also, donât skimp on touch-ups or turn listing photos into a weird horror flick with harsh artificial light. Staging a house isnât showbizâit's subtle magic, boutique-hotel style, minus the mini shampoo bottle shuffle.

Loud paint colors and crowded rooms in house listings should be criminal offenses, according to interior designer Claire Zinnecker. Next step: outlaw personal photo explosions and give buyers airspace to breathe and imagine a life not stuck in a kaleidoscope nightmare.
Pro tip from NBCUâs 'Get Out of My Room' co-host: Your over-stuffed furniture dolls and visually aggressive paint jobs arenât selling your house, theyâre Snapchat filters in real life. Buyers want to see a home, not your personal circus.
