Easy
but Effective Home Staging Tips
There
are many things you need to as homeowner when you are trying to sell it. The
most important among this is to prepare your home before listing. Your aim
should be to create a create impression on potential buyers so that they are
encouraged to make good offers. Here are some very good tips to make your home
look beautiful, big, and inviting to the visitors during staging.
Begin with cleaning
The
biggest impression that you can make on the visitors is through a house that is
sparkling clean. This cleaning should cover everything from floors and the
walls to carpets, furniture, and furnishings. Do not forget to clean the
fireplace also. Clean the windows so that the visitors do not spot any dirt or
dust on the glasses. It also helps in increasing the natural light inside your
home.
Get rid of clutter
If
you are trying to sell the house when still living in it, make sure that you
can remove most of the furniture and other items that make your rooms look
smaller than they actually are. Rooms packed with furniture not only look small
but also leave little room for imagination for the visitors. Pack and move all
items that you can live without for a while.
Go for a paintjob
The
smell and appeal of freshly painted house is unmatched and very inviting. Go
for bright and vibrant colors and use different shades of the same color in
adjacent areas to highlight features of your house. Painting of a house is
quick and inexpensive and it helps in creating a warm and vibrant look that
looks very attractive to the potential buyers.
Set up the place
Put
yourself in the shoes of the potential buyer. He comes over in search for his
dream home. You have to think according to his perspective to create the scene
inside your house. Place logs in the fireplace, decorate the dining table with
cutlery and flowers, and place newspaper and magazines on the centre table to
create a beautiful living atmosphere. Pay special attention to your bathroom
and kitchen to make them look clean, organized, and appealing to eyes. Add new
shower curtains, dry towels, and new soaps inside the bathroom to make it look
inviting. Your aim should be to capture his imagination so that he envisions
living inside your home along with his family. And yes, do not forget to spray
room fresheners and burn scented candles to make the ambience alluring and
inviting.
Clean and beautify the area approaching the
entrance
Many
owners work hard to clean their homes from inside but forget or ignore the area
outside the entrance of their house. You will be surprised to know that many
visitors have more or less made up their minds about buying a property even
before setting foot inside. The trick lies in creating a great impression on
them by making the approach clean and beautiful. Remove the dad leaves, trim
the hedges, place pots with flowering plants, and place a new doormat in front
of the entrance.
