When you put your home on the market, you want prospective buyers to get the very best impression. Here are some great staging tips to help sell your property that much faster.
Get rid of the clutter
The first thing you need to address is those heaps of clutter here and there. We all have them, and there's no shame in having to put a few unused or underused items in storage. If you are putting your house on the market, you should be getting ready to move anyway. You could take this opportunity to get ahead of your packing in time for your eventual move.
Furniture arrangement
While some might believe that sofas and other furniture items need to be pressed against the walls in order to make the room look bigger, this is not necessarily the case. You can arrange your living room furniture in such a way that there is space to walk all around the room, and it will appear both intimate and spacious! Consider using a rug to create your boundaries and borders.
Re-arranging décor
If you have an extra chair in your living room or dining room, you could put it to better use in another part of your home like the foyer. Get a bit creative and think outside the box. Similarly, you can also move some of your pictures, paintings, and other decorative items around.
Transformation time
If you have a room that does not bode well in terms of tidiness and order, it's time to get stuck in! Clean in out, get rid of anything you're not using, and give this room a makeover. When selling your home, you need to market every square foot.
Proper lighting
Lighting highlights the best aspects of each room, and you should always have three different types of lighting to do just that. Include ambient, task, and accent lighting. In other words, overhead lights, lamps, and wall lighting.
Make smaller rooms larger
You can make smaller rooms appear larger by simply taking note of the color you choose. Lighter colors make a room look more spacious. It's not just about the color of the walls but also the fixtures and furniture too.
Color choice
You can achieve a more understated yet sophisticated look by going for that minimalist and neutral design. The opposite is true for darker colors. Darker shades give a room a more cozy look. Considerably small rooms might be better off using lighter colors, but reasonably sized rooms can be decorated in just about any color you like. That said, you might want to avoid using a single type of color. In other words, if you choose dark colors, you should add a splash of light colors here and there.
Abstract displays
When displaying your pictures and wall art, think about arranging them in a more abstract way. So, instead of lining them up perfectly, you can scatter them a bit across the wall in a more abstract fashion.
Accessories
Like any well-planned outfit, your home can also use a few decorative accessories here and there. Things like fresh flowers and plants are perfect for adding color, style, and making your visitors feel right at home.
Inviting bedroom
Make your bedroom that much more inviting by adding all the right colors, comfy cushions, and all the right aspects that make you want to settle down and snooze!
Finish off your to-do list
If you have any unfinished projects at home, you should finish them off before you let anyone see your home. Stains on the carpets, scratched wooden floors, or things like broken banisters should be taken care of promptly, or they will attract the wrong kind of attention.
Welcoming bathroom
Like your bedroom, you can also make your bathroom that much more inviting by setting out hand towels, guest towels, and decorative soaps.
