Home Staging Makes the Average house, Shine.
Successful Home
Staging That Can Make Your Home Stand Out
If you’re putting your home up for sale, the
last thing you want is for it to sit on the market without any interest from
buyers. You’ll be happy to learn that there are some simple things you can do
to pique buyers’ interest and get your house sold. Read on to learn more about
staging your home so it stands out from the rest.
Lighten
the Load
A house lived in for many years is likely to
accumulate some amount of clutter, and the reality is that clutter can be a
turnoff to buyers. With that in mind, develop a plan for decluttering. Plan to
prioritize the rooms according to the severity of the clutter and then create a
system for clearing the rooms one at a time.
Generally, the types of clutter you’ll be dealing with are
likely items that have no set storage area, old papers like magazines that
you’ve already read, and things you bought on sale but never actually used. You
should be prepared to have four different piles: keep, donate, sell, and discard. If you’re paring
down things you want to keep for your next home, plan to store them elsewhere
so they won’t be in the way when showing your home.
Create
a Blank Canvas
You may have spent some time giving your home
the personal touch so it’s just the way you like it. Now that you’re selling
it, you’ll need to make the house more neutral because home buyers may have different tastes, and they need to imagine
themselves living in the space.
You can depersonalize your home by removing
items such as family photographs from the living room and personal products
from the bathroom. In the bedroom, use neutral-colored linens and curtains. If
you have highly specific furniture, then put those pieces in storage until the
house has been sold.
Brightly colored rooms should repainted to a
more neutral palette, and you can choose from a
variety of grays, beiges, and whites depending on the room. For instance, white
works well for kitchens and bathrooms, while off-white may work better for
bedrooms.
Get
Your House in Order
Now that you’ve gotten rid of the clutter and
removed your personal items, it’s time to put the finishing touches on your
house. Set up your furniture for uncrowded, comfortable traffic patterns and consider adding light in dim areas to open them up.
Rooms that buyers see as soon as they walk in
should be the most carefully staged. You’ll want to keep the kitchen counter
clear, other than a bowl of fruit or some fresh flowers. If you have open
shelving, make sure you have some decorative items on them, but don’t fill the
shelves.
Last
But Not Least
If you’re working with a real estate agent,
then your work is mostly complete. However, if you’ve decided to show the house
yourself and handle the marketing aspects, then there’s more to do. Taking real
estate photos to promote your house online is no easy
job. Experts recommend that you use a wide-angle lens and be vigilant of what
may appear in windows when taking pictures. You should also focus on the
positive areas and ensure you have enough lighting to take good photos.
As HGTV explains, planning an open house requires a lot of time, work, and
research. If you’re doing this yourself, then you should check out the
competition, prepare a property description sheet, and advertise the open house
through online classifieds and flyers. On the day of the open house, you should
be personable with each guest and offer refreshments. Make sure to get feedback
on the property and get the guests’ information so you can follow up after the
open house.
A little home staging can go a long way toward
securing your sale. Declutter your whole home, neutralize the decor, and show
each space in the best light possible. Thanks to your hard work, your home will
be a stand out to buyers!
