Here are a few staging tips to ensure your home sells for it maximum potential:
- Use Colour Creatively – Colour can be incorporated in many ways, so don’t be afraid to use it creatively. From unique pieces of art to decorative pillows, a pop of colour can really catch a buyer’s eye.
- Conquer Clutter – Throw out old belongings that simply add to a clutter-filled home.
- Less Is More – Too much furniture is one of the biggest mistakes homeowners make. Consider arranging a few core pieces in your space and see the difference.
- Float Furniture – Pull furniture away from the walls to create groups within a room and to help with the traffic flow in and through the space.
- Mix It Up – Shake up the room’s style and attitude by periodically moving furniture around and incorporating old accessories into your design in a new way.
- Repurpose Unused Rooms – Make that junk room into a dreamy crafts room
- Let Light In – Letting outside light in can brighten the space and make the room feel larger.
- Light It Up – Most homes are improperly lit. Aim for 100 watts every 50 square feet in layers of ambient, task and accent lighting.
- Rearrange Your Art – Displaying art in traditional ways — in a circle at the same height around the room — can make it invisible. Leave the stereotype behind and display art in surprising ways.
- Accessorize With Threes – Odd-numbered groups of accessories, especially threes, tend to be more eye appealing.
- Bring the Outdoors In – Head outside and grab some greenery from your yard to bring a fresh look indoors.
- Make an Entrance – Creating a warm entrance to your home is welcoming to your guests.
The goal of staging is to make the home speak to everyone else, in a compelling and positive way. Highlight your home’s strengths, downplay its weaknesses and appeal to perspective buyers.
Staging works!! It helped to sell this magnificent home!
