Practical Home Staging Tips

You should pay attention to every detail of the home, but if budget is a real factor, then you might have to pick and choose your projects.  Staging with paint is highly effective, since it requires no substantial investment.  Interior lighting is also easy to upgrade and can be as simple as installing the ideal size and wattage bulbs for a cheap fix.  Home staging with window treatments can be done inexpensively and can really brighten up a home.

You should always remember the main goals of staging a property:

1.  Provide a pleasant, neutral palate of colors that will be appealing to potential buyers.

2.  Create a sense of proportion, which typically means getting rid of things, rather than buying more, to balance the overall impact of the space.

3.  De-personalize your style and taste from your home.  Make buyers see themselves living in your home, NOT YOU.

4.  De-clutter and organize everything.

5.  Improve curb appeal and exterior landscaping.

6.  Draw attention to the positive details in your home and camouflage the less desirable aspects of the property.

Concentrate on the entry way, kitchen, master bedroom, master bath and living areas (in that order). Make sure the front of your house lookswelll maintained, as a positive first impression is crucial.  Finally, invest lots of time in cleaning, since this can make the biggest difference in potential buyer opinion and it's free to do. Nothing beats a clean smelling house!
