Staging Your Home - with Style!
When beginning the process of showing your home, beautiful staging can make an big impact on how much your house goes for, and how fast you'll receive offers. It's important to present an extremely clean, open, and inviting space. These tips will help you make the best impression on potential buyers!
1. Declutter
Clutter can make a space feel stifling. You want people to walk into your home and feel a sense of calmness and comfort. Keeping furniture and knick-knacks minimal can help clients breathe a sigh of relief. Home is meant to be our refuge from an oftentimes overwhelming world, and maintaining an open atmosphere helps us all relax and clear our minds.
2. Bright Lighting
There are three types of lighting to bring into every room: accent, task, and ambient. Ambient lighting is typically the largest lighting source in a room, and sets the automatic mood. Task lighting refers to lamps that might be placed on side tables, desks, or next to a reading chair. Accent lighting adds that extra something special, and can be sconces on a wall or gallery lighting below a special work of art.
3. Let it Flow
If you have a small area, paint the walls the same color as an adjacent room, to create the illusion of one large space. Another trick is to match your curtains to your walls; this creates a sense of interconnectedness in the room that soothes the eye.
4. Bring in Some Life
Fresh flowers automatically add a luxurious vitality to any room. You can cut down costs by buying flowers at Trader Joes and doing the arrangements yourself; or even by cutting branches or fauna from your own backyard! Place them in a room-specific container for a whimsical and lively accent.
5. Curb Appeal
We all know the importance of first impressions. Many interested buyers will drive by a house before committing to speak with anyone or even walk through the front door. Make sure you have an immaculately clean driveway, front lawn, and even windows! Add some greenery and comfortable seating out front, and display those house numbers in a clear fashion.
6. Neutralize the Master Bedroom
The master bedroom is one of the biggest selling points of any home. Keep it gender neutral with clean, warm colors. Maintain an air of simplicity and spaciousness; and make sure to clear out your closet and show off those storage capabilities!
