A professionally staged home is proven to sell much quicker and easier and will often get you an even higher offering price. Follow these final tips to lead to a beautifully staged home.
1. When dealing with small spaces, you can help to make the room feel larger by painting it the same color as its adjacencies. For example, if you are dealing with a particularly small kitchen, you can paint it the same color as the living room or hallway adjacent to it. This will make the two spaces feel more like one. You can also make a sunroom or porch feel larger by painting it green, tying it into the outdoors.
2. Neutral colors are the way to go for large spaces. Bold colors are actually said to decrease an offer. If colors are too bold or trendy, or too dated, buyers will think of how much work needed to update them. Neutrals aren’t limited to just whites and beiges; you can even venture as far as muted greens and oranges.
3. If you want to draw attention to a particular feature in a room, consider using an accent wall. In this case, it is okay to use a bolder color. This will draw the buyer's attention to whatever you may be trying show off.
4. Accessories are a finishing touch for any space. When creating a group of accessories, use an odd number, like three. Picture a triangle and place an accessory at each point. Use varying heights, shapes, sizes, and textures. Place largest items in the back, with the smaller ones up front.
5. Natural elements bring the outdoors in. However, you don’t always need buy an expensive arrangement of flowers. Consider raiding your own yard for plants and flowers, which will add color and a touch of comfort.
6. Unfinished projects are always unappealing to buyers. Finishing these projects will cost less than the amount you may lose in a lower offer. No buyer wants to look at an unfinished project that they will have to take on themselves.
Following these tips will make your home more attractive to your buyers. It’s also a good idea to consult a professional home stager to help you in creating the ideal home for the market.
