Home Staging Tips!
Are you getting ready to put your home on the market? Here are a few suggestions I like to give to clients to help them get off on the right foot.
CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!
You want your home to be spotless for potential buyers. A nice deep clean will do wonders for the sale of your home.
BOOST CURB APPEAL
From lush greenery to a fresh new mailbox, there’s no denying the impact of the first impression people have of your home. Keeping the grass cut, garden beds clean, and adding some fresh flowers will go a long way in welcoming people into your home.
REIMAGINE ROOM LAYOUTS
Don’t be afraid to move furniture around or even remove some pieces to make the space feel larger and more welcoming. Pick a focal point in the room, like a fireplace or bay window, and arrange the furniture around that.
EMBRACE A NEUTRAL PALETTE
Any realtor will confirm that refreshing your rooms with neutral paint colors is the best approach for luring potential buyers. It’s also a foolproof option for homeowners who enjoy rearranging furniture and decor from time to time. It’s much easier to add colorful accent pieces to brighten up the space.
CLEAR THE CLUTTER!
Clutter can detract from a room’s overall aesthetic and prevents you from using a space to its full potential. The solution? Get rid of as much stuff as possible. Ask yourself: “Is this something I really love? Does it have personal meaning to me?” If it does, keep it.
CREATE ADDITIONAL STORAGE
Potential buyers are keen on finding a home with ample storage. If your space is lacking closets and cabinet space, consider adding a sideboard. There are tons of clever storage options available now that will give your home the needed space.
FOCUS ON KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS
The kitchen and bathrooms are key areas in a home. To make them shine, aim to keep decorative accessories to a minimum. There’s nothing like fresh white towels in the bathroom, and I personally love having fresh flowers in the kitchen. Keep the counters clear and sparkling clean.
