Proper home-staging enables you to downplay your home’s weaknesses, highlight its strengths, and appeal to a massive pool of prospective buyers. The aim is to strip back your personal style to allow buyers to envision themselves in the living space. In this post, we explore some actionable tips to help you stage your home effectively for a quick sale.

Declutter and Clean

Clutter can distract buyers, directing their focus away from the home’s unique features. It also makes your home appear congested with less space. Box up items you no longer use and take to the storage room. This can include the things you don’t use on a daily basis, like seasonal clothes.

On the other hand, cleaning shows prospective buyers that you are taking good care of the property. Thoroughly clean your entire house from the ceilings to the floors. Let your bathrooms sparkle, especially the spot behind the toilet, sink drain, corners of a tub, and other hidden spaces that you think no one can see. 

Help Your Kitchen Shine

Kitchens help to sell homes, since most buyers pay more attention to these common spaces. Clear clutter from your kitchen countertops and give your cabinets a facelift with a fresh coat of paint. You can try a dark neutral, such as slate blue or gray or simply go for a classic white.

Show of the storage space by packing up the infrequently-used small appliances and clearing the pantry. Replace outdated hardware, such as cabinet knobs and handles. Remember a corroded faucet or the one covered with hard-water stains can be a great turn-off. Consider swapping the faucet out for added function and style. You can also create a casual dining area by adding a few kitchen bar stools around your kitchen island. 

Depersonalize

Allow potential buyers to picture themselves in your home by removing personal items, such as family photos, kids’ artwork, refrigerator art, and keepsakes. Try to hide clothes and keep bathroom counters empty, leaving only the hand soap. The aim is to put away anything that is highly personal and evocative of the property’s current inhabitants. 

Define Rooms 

Each room and the space within the room should have a well-defined purpose. This will give potential buyers an idea of how to maximize every square footage in the home. Consider converting that finished attic into an office, basement into an entertainment room, and a junk room into a guest bedroom. 

While the buyer may not necessarily use the rooms for similar purposes, they will be able to see how each inch in the home is usable space. This includes breakfast nooks, corners, window seats, alcoves, and other areas. 

Use Lighting Properly

Maximize your home’s natural lighting by strategically positioning mirrors opposite windows to reflect light. Consider opening all the blinds and curtains when showing your home. This will make your space appear brighter, bigger, and more open.

Replace outdated and broken light fixtures with modern options and remember to turn them on when showing the home. Ensure you incorporate ambient lighting, task lighting, such as pendants and under-cabinet lights, and accent lights on walls. 

Use these tips to spruce up your home and attract quality buyers quickly. Stage rooms individually to bring out the full potential of the entire space. Also, emphasize your home’s best features and let buyers see that every square footage is usable.
